Serving post-acute rehabilitation patients and residents requiring active skilled nursing care, Diversicare of Southaven is a 140-bed nursing home in Southaven, Mississippi. With an occupancy rate near 94 percent, the facility maintains steady resident engagement alongside a typical stay length of around 82 days. This denotes the community’s focus on short-term rehabilitation and longer-term placement. Owned by Hannah Davis, the home accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, offering families many ways to arrange care.
Daily clinical staffing runs to approximately 3 hours and 53 minutes of total nursing care per resident, anchored by registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses working collectively on the floor. Such a level of hands-on support underlies the home’s emphasis on rehabilitation services, short-term rehab programs, and the ability to manage complex medical cases. Southaven is a car-dependent community, scoring 22 on the walkability scale, so visitors and residents must plan on vehicle usage for errands and appointments. The facility sets itself as a welcoming environment staffed by highly trained caregivers, which are the primary service commitments it highlighted.
For families contemplating Diversicare of Southaven for rehabilitation or ongoing care, touring the facility on-site will give a clear picture of the physical setting, the daily routines, and the care team-residents’ interaction.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

| 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.
| 38m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 45m per day | ▼ 32% State avg: 1h 6m 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.
| 2h 6m per day | ▼ 15% State avg: 2h 29m 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.
| 3h 2m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 31m 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.
| 2m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 18% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
