Overview of Pine Knoll Nursing & Rehab Ctr

Pine Knoll Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a 122-bed skilled nursing facility located in Carrollton, Georgia. Managed by Melissa Murphy in Carroll County, the Medicare-certified property maintains an 83% occupancy level, which tracks above the statewide average. The center coordinates short-term clinical rehabilitation, long-term nursing oversight, tracheostomy care, and secure memory support programming.

State administrative profiles managed by the Georgia Department of Community Health document the facility’s day-to-day operational framework. While public nursing home registries note regular state oversight and field reviews standard for a building operating over three decades, no active civil money penalties, administrative fines, or operating license restrictions are recorded on file against the operator. Historical tracking indexes display a stable baseline of compliance, with recent standard surveys finalized with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, indicating that routine field evaluations verified adherence to state health and structural safety codes.

Daily care systems deliver an average of three hours and 10 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day. On-site amenities incorporate a dedicated therapy gym, a resident care concierge program, a beauty salon and barbershop, landscaped courtyards, and social enrichment calendars. Positioned 1.4 miles from Tanner Medical Center, the community uses its location to coordinate medical transitions and acute care interventions. Social services personnel manage family education resources, handle admission agreements, and oversee routine discharge planning.

Interested individuals exploring clinical rehabilitation or extended nursing options can look to this high-demand Carroll County property for structured therapeutic resources. The environment is designed for seniors whose representatives prioritize an established corporate history paired with direct access to local hospital resources. Families are encouraged to visit the campus, look over the physical setup of the on-site therapy center, and review current nursing shift rotations directly with the clinical management team before finalizing a contract.

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +20% 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.	23m per day	▼ 21% 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.	1h 7m per day	▲ 20% State avg: 55m 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.	1h 31m per day	▼ 30% 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.	2h 45m per day	▼ 12% State avg: 3h 9m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.	0m per day	▼ 100% 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.	23m per day	▲ 12% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day
