Rockdale Healthcare Center runs a 102-bed skilled nursing facility at 1510 Renaissance Drive Northeast in Conyers, Georgia. Obadiah Smith serves as the administrator for this home, which has been open for 27 years and stays busy with a 98 percent occupancy rate. The front office takes private payments and traditional Medicare. Stays average about 81 days, a timeline that shows the daily routine balances short-term post-hospital rehab with permanent nursing care.
The surrounding neighborhood requires a vehicle to get around, scoring a 12 out of 100 for walkability, so visiting family will need a car for trips. On the floor, residents receive a daily average of 3 hours and 15 minutes of direct nursing care. This time is shared among registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who handle complex medical needs. The clinical team also provides an active physical therapy program for people recovering from surgery or hospital visits.
State regulators from the Georgia Department of Community Health inspect the property through standard health and safety reviews. Past audits flagged a few operational issues, specifically mentioning medication protocols, care plan accuracy, kitchen sanitation, and emergency preparedness. The facility updated its practices to fix these issues, and a more recent abbreviated state investigation turned up zero problems or deficiencies.
Interested individuals can call the main desk to see if any beds are open, ask about the physical therapy setups, or plan a time to walk through the building. The business staff is also available to look over financial paperwork and explain how personal funds or Medicare benefits work with the monthly bills.
Rockdale Healthcare Center is administered by Obadiah Smith.
