Diversicare of Foley is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center serving the surrounding community on North Alston Street in Foley, Alabama. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, offering flexibility for short-term post-hospital recovery and longer-term skilled care. At 154 beds and running at 87 percent occupancy, the community maintains a focused operation. The average stay duration is about 108 days, mirroring a census that blends rehabilitation patients with those needing active medical care.
Short-term rehabilitation and complex medical support are the home’s clinical emphasis, with total nursing care averaging three hours and thirty-three minutes per resident day. That foundation of diligent nursing time bolsters residents recuperating from surgery, illness, or hospital stays. Staffing breaks down to registered nurses providing 29 minutes daily per resident, nursing aides 2 hours and 1 minute, and LPN/LVN care at 29 minutes. The team describes itself as committed to a welcoming environment backed by highly trained caregivers. The surrounding area scores 12 on the walk scale, indicating a car-dependent neighborhood where most errands need a vehicle. While Foley offers modest walkability, the location is close to local services and affords easy family access by car.
State inspections over the past eight years have raised concerns in many recurring areas: care protocols and daily living support activities, medication safety and physician order management, infection control and food handling hygiene, and staff training on specialized units. These denote the types of operational details families can ask the home about when touring, to understand how each area is managed daily.
For prospective residents and families evaluating Diversicare of Foley, an on-site visit will paint a clear picture of the care setting, the room options, and how the team handles everyday operations.
Diversicare of Foley is administrated by Albert Herndon.
In Alabama, the Department of Public Health, Bureau of Health Provider Standards conducts unannounced surveys to ensure facilities meet state licensing and federal certification safety standards.
