Overview of Lumber City Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Lumber City Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has operated an 86-bed skilled nursing home at 93 Highway 19 in Lumber City, Georgia, for 51 years. The clinical floor coordinates 24-hour schedules with a focus on short-term recovery, offering living options in both private and semi-private rooms. The front office works with standard major insurance networks alongside traditional public health programs to cover resident care.

The facility centers its daily routine on physical, occupational, and speech therapies, paired with structured discharge planning and a wound care program. The surrounding area gets a walk score of 28 out of 100, meaning the immediate neighborhood is mostly car-dependent, and visitors will need a vehicle for typical local trips. To support people transitioning back home or recovering from recent surgical operations, the clinical team balances these therapy sessions with everyday medical oversight.

State regulators inspect the property during routine health and safety audits. Public code records from past years show inspection reviews focused on general care documentation, environmental safety systems, and infection protocols. The facility uses these standard evaluation reports to update its maintenance schedules and adjust employee clinical workflows across the daily shifts.

Prospective residents can get in touch with the registration desk to check on specific room layouts, ask about the physical or speech therapy options, or set up a time to see the property.

Operating for nine years within Fulton County, the facility coordinates non-residential Adult Day Health, Community Access Group tracks, and localized skilled nursing services. The physical site features a Walk Score of 47, reflecting a somewhat walkable neighborhood that generally requires vehicular transportation for daily errands.

State administrative profiles managed by the Georgia Department of Community Health confirm that the operator maintains standard licensing credentials under regular state oversight. Public regulatory database records from field evaluations completed in April 2018 and March 2025 document zero deficiency citations or enforcement actions against the property. Because these consecutive monitoring cycles concluded without active rule infractions, the center preserves a contemporary citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Government registries indicate the business record remains free of active corporate fines, monetary penalties, or operating license constraints.

Daily operational systems utilize trained personnel to oversee clinical nursing checks, personal care support, and practical life skills training during standard daytime hours. Internal teams manage a structured programming menu that includes food and nutrition education, money management coaching, social skills development, creative arts, and community integration outings. The weekly schedule also incorporates specialized group wellness sessions managed by Boom Shock Fitness alongside structured peer engagement activities to support cognitive and physical functions.

Prospective residents or their sponsors seeking structured weekday medical monitoring can utilize this center’s nine-year history of error-free state inspections to inform their decision. The 48-capacity program is configured for elderly and disabled adults who do not require permanent institutional nursing placement but benefit from routine therapeutic socialization and wellness tracking.

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.
