Overview of Cannon Wood Village

Cannon Wood Village is a 32-bed personal care home located at 2834 Old US Highway 441 in Tiger, Georgia. Managed by administrator Thomas Major in Rabun County, the community coordinates senior housing alongside memory care services and temporary respite options. The physical layout incorporates communal dining spaces, an internal club room, and landscaped village gardens.

State administrative tracking records from the Georgia Department of Community Health reveal systemic operational failures, with the community averaging 8.2 deficiencies annually over a six-year tracking window. The most recent field inspection on May 8, 2025, documented 12 critical deficiencies, highlighting an unlicensed administrator for a facility of this capacity, five staff members working without satisfactory criminal background checks, and employees administering insulin injections without required proxy caregiver competency training.

These findings follow a July 2024 state survey that cited the facility for leaving medications unattended in violation of safety protocols, alongside a March 2024 audit that documented expired employee CPR certifications, missing client tuberculosis screenings, and incomplete admission needs assessments.

Daily care systems cover medication assistance, physical tracking, and localized memory programming within the 32-bed residential framework. State administrative indexes show no modern tracking periods finalized with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, indicating that recurring structural infractions regarding employee background clearances and administrative documentation have persisted across consecutive evaluation cycles. Public records reflect no active state financial penalties or operating license suspensions, meaning the ongoing infractions have been managed through standard state administrative tracking rather than court-ordered closures.

Families are encouraged to discuss current training schedules with the management team, verify the administrator’s active registration status, and look over the physical setup of the medication areas to ensure all placement requirements are met before finalizing an agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Georgia

What is independent living?

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 247 independent living communities in Georgia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community in Georgia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Georgia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting independent living communities in Georgia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
