Diversicare Of Oak Ridge holds a 1-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 58% is well above the Tennessee average of 49%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $205,329 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
