Grandview Care Center Inc. operates as a skilled nursing home and rehabilitation provider in Athens, Georgia, affiliated with PruittHealth, a Southeast-based nursing home operator. The facility is administered by Leah Steele. Programming encompasses both short-term post-acute rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care, with dedicated therapy services and rehabilitation infrastructure.
Nursing staffing presents a mixed profile.
Registered nurses provide 38 minutes daily per resident, which is below Georgia’s state average of 58 minutes and the national benchmark of 41 minutes. This lower RN presence suggests less on-site physician-supervision and slower clinical response capacity.
Licensed practical nurses contribute 45 minutes daily per resident, modestly above Georgia average but still below national norms. Certified nurse aides supply 2 hours 56 minutes daily, exceeding both state and national averages and representing the facility’s largest staffing category. Weekend coverage drops significantly: combined nursing hours fall to 3 hours 32 minutes daily (5% below state), while weekend RN hours plummet to 22 minutes daily; 44% below Georgia average and indicating substantially reduced clinical oversight on Saturdays and Sundays.
Long-stay quality outcomes raise substantial concerns.
Hospitalizations occur at 2.54 per 1,000 resident days, 58% worse than Georgia’s state benchmark. Emergency department visits reach 5.01 per 1,000 days, nearly double the state average at 2.19 per 1,000 days. This pattern suggests higher acuity, care management gaps, or inadequate preventive clinical oversight.
Successful discharge to home or community reaches 44.7%, trailing the state average of 50.6%. Falls with major injury are reported at zero percent, a positive safety signal.
The facility ranks 667th of 873 Georgia nursing homes on walkability, serving a car-dependent area (Walk Score 17).
Amenities include fitness center, beauty salon, barber shop, rehabilitation gym, and activities programming.
The facility does not hold current CMS certification for Medicare or Medicaid per its listing.
Grandview Care Center Inc. accommodates long-term care residents in Athens requiring skilled nursing support, though substantially elevated rates of hospitalization and emergency utilization suggest residents experience care transitions or clinical interventions at higher-than-typical frequencies.
