Overview of Buchanan Healthcare Center

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram

Owned by Buchanan Healthcare Center LLC, Buchanan Healthcare Center is a 60-bed skilled nursing community on Depot Street in Buchanan, Georgia, about 40 miles north of Atlanta. It serves occupants across all levels of nursing care, including rehabilitation and respite stays. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay give families several ways to cover short-term recovery and longer-term nursing care.

The center tends to run at a 77 percent moderate occupancy, with residents staying around 143 days on average. This mix mirrors post-acute rehabilitation patients healing from hospitalization or surgery and those receiving ongoing skilled nursing support. Operating for six years, the home maintains a care staffing model with total nursing support of roughly 3 hours 24 minutes per resident day, distributed across registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing aides. Rehabilitation services and respite care are core offerings, making the facility a grounded option for individuals transitioning from a hospital stay or needing temporary care while a family member recovers at home. The location scores 48 for walkability, so some nearby services are walkable, though most trips require transportation.

Care planning, hydration protocols, and fire safety code compliance have been the inspections’ focus. The facility addressed the cited deficiencies through corrective action, with a follow-up survey confirming full resolution. During this period, formal complaint investigations didn’t substantiate more concerns.

Asking staff directly about how daily care planning and safety protocols are managed is a good idea for families considering the center.

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

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +30% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 13m per day ▼ 54% 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. 1h 13m per day ▲ 30% 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. 1h 45m per day ▼ 19% 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 11m 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. 1m per day ▼ 66% 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 ▼ 37% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
