Overview of Twin Oaks Convalescent Center

Twin Oaks Convalescent Center is an 88-bed skilled nursing facility located at 301 South Baker Street in Alma, Georgia. Situated in Bacon County, the property operates an 83% occupancy level and coordinates long-term senior housing, specialized memory care, transitional care tracks, and short-term recovery services.

Oversight logs from the Georgia Department of Community Health document moderate regulatory performance, with the facility averaging 4.5 deficiencies annually over an eight-year tracking window. A March 28, 2025, routine survey and concurrent complaint audit cited two deficiencies after staff members failed to use protective gowns during wound care for a resident with diabetic ulcers, and failed to maintain a functional air conditioner in a residential room where temperatures reached 80°F. Historical state files also note past infractions involving fire safety codes, care planning gaps, and delayed infection reporting. However, consecutive state follow-up visits conducted in May and June 2025 confirmed that all previous health and environmental tags were successfully resolved, resulting in a contemporary citations-per-inspection rate of zero for the remediation cycle.

Daily clinical operations deliver an average of four hours and 31 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day. Staffing structures support specialized rehabilitation therapies, medication management, respite housing, and dedicated family training programs. Public regulatory indexes display no active monetary fines, civil penalties, or licensing constraints against the operator, indicating that recent compliance issues were settled through standard correction timelines.

Prospective residents exploring regional nursing or memory care options can look to this facility’s history of swift regulatory remediation and above-average direct care hours. The environment is suitable for seniors who require high-density clinical oversight and whose sponsors want a setting that maintains consistent contact with family representatives.

Lenbrook sits on Peachtree Road in Atlanta and operates as a 60-bed nursing home and continuing care retirement community. The facility maintains about 82 percent occupancy, drawing most of its residents for short-term rehabilitation after hospitalizations, typical stays run around four months. The property offers both traditional high-rise rooms and villa-style apartments.

The location is not ideal for walking. The neighborhood’s walkability score of 57 means most visitors and families will want a car. The community offsets this with valet parking and keeps a clinic on-site for routine medical needs.

Nursing staffing averages just over seven hours per resident per day. Certified nursing assistants provide the bulk of that, about three and a half hours, followed by licensed practical nurses at roughly 90 minutes and registered nurses for under an hour. Five dining options, housekeeping, scheduled programming, and acceptance of both Medicare and private pay round out the available services.

Prospective residents can get in touch with the admissions department to check on current villa or high-rise vacancies, ask about the short-term rehab schedules, or coordinate a time to see the dining venues.

The Lodge

200 South Kimberly Road, Warner Robins, GA 31088
Overview of The Lodge

Located on South Kimberly Road in Warner Robins, Georgia, The Lodge is a skilled nursing home owned by Deborah Meade. The 106-bed community has been operating for more than 50 years. Residents come here for rehabilitation, post-acute care, and ongoing skilled nursing support. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families flexible coverage options for both short-term recovery and longer-term stays.

The home’s average length of stay is 63 days. The resident population includes people in transitional care as well as those receiving extended skilled nursing services. Throughout the facility, there is 24-staffing in place.

Residents receive about 4 hours and 19 minutes of nursing care each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses make up the staffing team. It’s a level of support that serves residents recovering from surgery, hospitalization, or illness. Rehabilitation and post-acute care are major parts of the facility’s clinical programs.

The location’s Walk Score is 45. Some nearby services are within walking distance, but most trips require transportation. Visiting family members may need a short drive for errands. However, the surrounding area is accessible for regular visits and appointments.

State inspections conducted in early 2025 identified areas needing improvement in infection control, food safety practices, and facility infrastructure, including Life Safety Code compliance concerns. A follow-up re-inspection later confirmed that all cited deficiencies had been corrected and no new findings were identified, which indicates a responsive management and a commitment to remedying issues right away.

For families considering the home for post-acute rehabilitation or longer-term skilled nursing support, touring the facility and speaking with current residents and staff can provide a clearer understanding of the home’s daily care environment and the structure of therapy and recovery programs.

Overview of Baptist Village

Operating in Waycross, Georgia, for more than 50 years, Baptist Village is a nursing home governed by an executive committee. The 254-bed home accepts Medicare and private pay; families have flexibility in how care is funded. The facility’s occupancy rate is 73%. Residents stay an average of 274 days, including those receiving short-term rehabilitation and needing longer-term nursing care.

Daily care is supported through a comprehensive staffing model. Residents receive about 4 hours and 47 minutes of nursing care each day, including registered nurse time, licensed practical nurse time, and nursing aide support, and that combination of clinical and personal care staffing reflects the home’s focus on rehabilitation and recovery.

The home provides rehabilitation services alongside personal care support. That’s part of what makes the facility a resource for residents in the post-acute stage as well as those with ongoing care needs.

Waycross has a Walk Score of 60. Some errands can be managed on foot, but most residents and visitors rely on short drives for daily needs. The surrounding area provides access to services and amenities without the heavier traffic in more densely populated urban areas.

State inspections reviewed the home’s systems and protocols across 9 years. A recent re-inspection confirmed that previously identified issues had been addressed, with no new concerns cited during that visit. There’s a continuing process of assessment and improvement through regulatory oversight. This cycle remains a routine part of nursing home review and reflects how standards of care are maintained.

Overview of Miona Geriatric & Dementia Center

Miona Geriatric & Dementia Center has provided long-term care for over five decades from its 88-bed campus on Poplar Street in Ideal, Georgia. Four Winds Investment Company owns and operates this facility, which mainly serves residents who stay for more than a year. The business office accepts private pay and traditional federal Medicare. Even though most people move here permanently, the nursing staff also takes in patients who just need a few weeks of short-term rehab to get back on their feet after a hospital stay.

The surrounding rural neighborhood is car-dependent, meaning visitors will need a vehicle for trips. On the floor, an on-site doctor handles medical needs directly to limit outside clinic appointments. The nursing team provides an average of 3 hours and 34 minutes of daily care per resident, using a 24-hour shift schedule of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. This care model supports physical, occupational, speech, and restorative therapies, alongside dedicated mental health services and end-of-life hospice care.

Public code surveys focused on dietary protocols and infection-control practices around the building. Management resolved these specific inspection findings and updated its floor routines to maintain standard public health compliance.

Interested individuals can call the main office to see if any rooms are available, ask how the dementia care track is set up, or book a time to tour the campus.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Georgia

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Georgia?

Assisted living in Georgia is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Georgia Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 186 nursing homes in Georgia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
