Country Gardens Duluth is a 76-bed senior living property located at 3450 Duluth Park Lane in Duluth, Georgia. Situated 1.6 miles from downtown Duluth in Gwinnett County, the campus coordinates independent senior living, standard personal care, specialized memory support, and short-term respite stays.
State administrative logs from the Georgia Department of Community Health document a persistent history of regulatory infractions, with the facility averaging 6.2 deficiencies annually over a nine-year tracking window. While the most recent comprehensive state inspection on September 24, 2025, concluded with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, this follows a long series of severe safety violations. Field audits from March 2025 cited the building for an active pest infestation involving roaches and resident-reported bed bugs, while 2024 evaluations documented missing pre-admission tuberculosis screenings, incomplete medication assistance logs, and the employment of a convicted felon who lacked a criminal background clearance.
Historical state files from 2021 through 2023 reveal even broader systemic failures, including an unreported sexual assault of a resident, an injury-inducing resident elopement, uncertified staff, and severe sanitation breakdowns regarding feces on bathroom walls, soiled linens, and pervasive urine odors.
Daily operations are organized across a 76-bed capacity and incorporate common dining areas, a media room, a beauty salon, an internal general store, and outdoor nature trails. Available census registries indicate a steep decline in demand, with occupancy dropping from 100% down to 38% following these consecutive safety and reporting infractions. Although the late 2025 survey indicates a recent interval of standard compliance, the property’s multi-year history reflects recurring lapses in basic resident protection and building maintenance.
Prospective residents or their representatives evaluating this Gwinnett County option should exercise extreme caution due to the severe historical patterns of physical neglect and administrative non-compliance. This environment requires continuous independent monitoring by a resident’s sponsors to ensure basic hygiene standards, employee background verifications, and medication accuracy are actively maintained.
