Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
New residents most often arrive under Medicaid (41% of admissions), and a typical Medicaid stay runs around 1 years.
Operating for 14 years, Fort Gaines Health and Rehab is a nursing home in Georgia with 60 beds. The facility serves a mix of residents. Most stay an average of about 213 days, including short-term rehabilitation placements and longer-term care residents. It is currently near full capacity, housing 59 of its 60 beds. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families coverage flexibility for both post-acute rehab and ongoing nursing care needs.
The home provides short-term rehabilitation, transitional care, and palliative and comfort care services. Daily nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 31 minutes per resident each day, supported by licensed nurses and nursing aides on a 24-hour basis. This staffing level is due to the facility’s focus on hands-on resident support and daily clinical oversight.
The home is in a car-dependent area, so most errands will require a vehicle. However, this is typical of many rural and suburban nursing home settings. Visiting family and residents who leave the facility for appointments should arrange transportation.
State inspections noted recurring themes around medication management, resident care protocols, and food safety standards. The facility has been responsive to regulatory findings by addressing cited areas, so it returned to compliance.
Fort Gaines Health and Rehab is administered by Ciara *Brown.
In Georgia, the Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division conducts unannounced inspections to ensure facilities adhere to state health and safety requirements.
