This home is ranked 35th out of 169 homes in Georgia.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 29m 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.
| 49m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 56m 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 35m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 28m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 3h 6m 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 | ▼ 67% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 15m per day | ▼ 25% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.

In Georgia, the Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division conducts unannounced inspections to ensure facilities adhere to state health and safety requirements.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Georgia average: 15 visits/inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Georgia average: 21 deficiencies
0.3 deficiencies per inspection
Georgia average: 1.4 deficiencies per inspection
The most recent inspection on May 8, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed some issues, including deficiencies cited in January 2025 related to the memory care unit’s lack of secured outdoor spaces and an automated alert system for unauthorized exits. A complaint investigation in May 2021 identified a deficiency involving resident dignity and privacy, which resulted in staff termination, but other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests improvement, with recent follow-up and complaint inspections showing no deficiencies after earlier issues were addressed.
