Overview of Parkside Center for Nursing and Rehab at Ellijay

Located on Main Street in Ellijay, Georgia, Parkside Center for Nursing and Rehab is a skilled nursing home in a small North Georgia mountain town. The center is owned by Parkside Holding Company LLC and has served the area for seven years. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to arrange coverage for short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 76%, and the community has 110 beds. Residents stay an average of about 70 days. The resident population includes people recovering through post-acute rehabilitation as well as those with longer care needs. Residents receive an average of 3 hours and 24 minutes of nursing care each day, with registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses providing support around the clock. There’s also a physician on-site, which can reduce the need for outside medical visits.

Rehabilitation services are a major part of the center’s clinical programs. Residents have access to in-house medical specialists and psychological staff, helping address physical recovery and emotional well-being, while pain management services, hospice and palliative care, and comprehensive medical support serve residents with chronic pain, end-of-life needs, and a wide range of medical conditions without necessarily transferring them elsewhere. It’s a broad group of services that supports different stages of care.

Dining is an important part of daily life. Master chefs work with a staff dietitian to develop menus that meet individual dietary needs while maintaining culinary standards. Residents can use beautician and barber services. Satellite television and religious services are also available.

Ellijay’s location has a Walk Score of 57. Some nearby errands can be handled within walking distance, although most trips require driving. Visiting family members can reach nearby services without traveling far.

When inspected, the facility showed a commitment to addressing identified concerns through corrective action and follow-up surveys. Families evaluating Parkside should take a tour to get a clearer picture of daily routines, rehabilitation services, and the way care coordination is managed throughout the community.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +149% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	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.	54m per day	▲ 86% 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.	50m 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 17m per day	▲ 6% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing 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 24m per day	▲ 9% 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.	7m per day	▲ 149% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	44m per day	▲ 118% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
