Staffing Rating
Diversicare of Lanett holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each measure something different. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found relatively few problems, or less serious ones, during their visits. That's a good sign that the facility is being run with reasonable care and attention to resident safety. The quality measures rating is also 4 stars, reflecting above-average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like how well residents maintain mobility, avoid infections, or manage pain. These are real, day-to-day health results that give you a sense of how residents are actually faring inside the building.
The one area worth keeping an eye on is staffing, which sits at 3 stars, meaning the nurse hours per resident are roughly average for the industry. It's not a red flag, but it does mean the facility isn't standing out in terms of how much one-on-one time nurses have with each resident. If your loved one has complex medical needs, that's a fair question to bring up directly when you tour. Overall though, a 4-star composite rating suggests Diversicare of Lanett is a solid choice, performing well in most of the areas that matter most to families.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends?
2. How long have your director of nursing and your administrator been in their current roles at this facility?
3. What happens, step by step, if my loved one falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night?
4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and can you walk me through any deficiencies that were cited?
5. How do you handle a resident who refuses a meal, misses activities, or seems withdrawn, and who specifically is responsible for following up?
6. If my loved one has a complaint or I have a concern, who do I contact directly, and what is the typical turnaround time before we hear back?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
