Overview of Diversicare of Pell City

Owned by Wilson Yopasa, Diversicare of Pell City is a nursing home in Alabama that offers short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and families can choose from these options to cover post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.

With 94 beds, the community has an occupancy rate of 70%, with an average resident stay of 85 days. The population reflects its strength in transitional post-hospital care.

The facility’s focus is on clinical support. Nurses provide an average of 4 hours and 4 minutes of care per resident each day. It is delivered by a team of registered nurses (38 minutes daily), nurse aides (2 hours and 2 minutes), and LPNs (31 minutes). With this staffing level, the facility can consistently provide hands-on attention throughout the day, which matters for residents recovering from surgery, hospitalization, or acute illness.

Diversicare of Pell City is located in a car-dependent area of Alabama, so most errands and appointments require a vehicle. Families visiting the facility will likely spend their time in the community rather than exploring nearby areas.

Diversicare’s focus on complex medical care and rehabilitation services makes it a practical choice for residents in the post-acute recovery window, for whom skilled nursing and therapies are a priority.

The facility’s inspections focused primarily on medication management practices, documentation accuracy, and environmental maintenance. These areas directly affect the quality of daily care, so families evaluating the facility should ask about this before making a placement decision.

vs avg

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	34m per day	▼ 10% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	31m per day	▼ 35% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	1h 51m per day	▼ 26% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 22m per day	▼ 28% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	1m per day	▼ 60% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	16m per day	▼ 28% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
