Overview of Camellia Gardens of Life Care

Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn

Camellia Gardens of Life Care is a nursing home on South Broad Street in Thomasville, Georgia, a small city in the state’s southwest corner. The facility has been operating for over 50 years. Families can choose from payment options, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, to cover short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care. With 83 beds and an occupancy rate of 86%, it is an ideal size for a community-rooted nursing home.

Residents here typically stay for 70 days, and most go for post-acute rehabilitation, with some longer-term residents as well. Rehabilitation services are available on-site. Residents with cognitive needs can access a dedicated Alzheimer’s and dementia care program.

Total nursing care is given 3 hours and 47 minutes per resident daily. Nurse aides provide about 2 hours and 7 minutes, RNs contribute 35 minutes, and LPNs/LVNs provide the remainder.

State inspections have periodically noted deficiencies around life safety, environmental upkeep, and resident care practices such as pain management. However, some earlier findings have been corrected in subsequent surveys. The facility’s records have no substantiated complaint findings.

Daily life at Camellia Gardens revolves around a full activity schedule supervised by a certified activity director. Amenities here include a beauty salon and barber shop, a library, landscaped grounds and courtyards, religious services, and transportation.

The home also offers a fine-dining program paired with a certified dietitian. Smoking is not allowed in the facility. Private and semiprivate rooms come with private bathrooms, bedside and bathroom call lights, flat-screen TVs, and complimentary wireless internet.

A community re-entry program is available for residents working toward discharge. The South Broad Street location is very walkable, so family members can easily visit on foot.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

vs avg

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +35% above state avg
Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 34m per day ▲ 17% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 52m per day ▼ 7% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 9m per day ■ Avg State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 2m per day ■ Avg State avg: 3h 6m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 4m per day ▲ 35% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 13m per day ▼ 33% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
