CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.

|
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
|
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
|
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
|
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
|
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
|
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
|
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
|
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
|
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
|
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
|
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
|
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
|
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
|
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
|
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
|
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
|
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
|
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
|
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
|
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
|
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Georgia average is: 54.8% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Rank badges are statewide: each community is ranked against every GA community we track that reports that metric, not just the 6 analyzed for Lawrenceville.
Delmar Gardens of Smyrna is a 92-bed community offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Dawn St Fleur manages the facility, which maintains 68% occupancy with private rooms, courtyards, and restaurant-style dining.
Over nine years, the facility recorded 3 deficiencies—0.4 per year, 92% fewer than Georgia’s average of 4.9. A May 2025 follow-up inspection found no deficiencies after January 2025 citations regarding secured outdoor spaces and exit alert systems in the memory care unit were corrected. A May 2021 complaint investigation identified a resident dignity violation resulting in staff termination. No fines or immediate jeopardy findings were issued.
Certified nursing aides deliver 2 hours 35 minutes daily per resident, 20% above state average, with weekend nursing 12% above benchmarks. Total nursing care reaches 3 hours 57 minutes per resident daily, ranking 38th among Georgia facilities. Registered and practical nurse hours run modestly below state levels, reflecting the residential support focus. On-site dining includes preparation by executive chefs with a registered dietitian.
Delmar Gardens accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, offering 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, respite care, and memory care programming.
Prospective residents considering long-term placement will encounter high aide-to-resident ratios and direct care support backed by minimal regulatory history. The facility’s deficiency correction timeline demonstrates responsiveness to compliance matters. Consistent staffing levels support continuity in resident programming across all service levels.
Mesun Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 100-bed facility at 88 Johnson Road, Building #2, in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Managed by Eugene Kim, the center provides 24-hour nursing, memory care, and hospice services alongside home health and recovery programs. The property currently maintains a 48% occupancy rate, which is significantly lower than the Georgia state average of 78.1%.
State regulatory data from the Georgia Department of Community Health shows an average of five deficiencies annually over five years, matching the state benchmark. However, a December 2023 investigation substantiated a failure to protect residents from sexual abuse and a failure to report these allegations to state authorities within the required timeframe. Records indicate that multiple staff members witnessed a resident exhibiting inappropriate sexual behaviors toward others, yet management did not follow mandatory reporting protocols.
Safety and administrative oversight have also been flagged for systemic lapses in emergency planning and medical data transmission. A July 2024 survey documented 11 citations, including failures to update emergency preparedness plans since 2022, unsealed smoke barriers, and the lack of a water management plan to prevent Legionella growth. Furthermore, significant delays were noted in transmitting resident assessments, with dozens of files missing required signatures and completion dates throughout 2024.
Clinical records show a history of inconsistent infection control and improper use of physical restraints. Past inspections from 2022 identified instances where residents were restrained without physician consent or orders, alongside failures to follow isolation precautions for infections like C. difficile. Additionally, surveyors noted that the facility failed to develop care plans addressing the specific language needs of non-English speaking residents.
This community is most appropriate for individuals whose advocates can maintain a frequent presence to monitor both the safety of the social environment and the accuracy of medical record-keeping. Interested individuals are encouraged to ask for the most recent water safety and emergency exercise logs to ensure that the facility has addressed the environmental risks and administrative delays identified in recent state audits.
Life Care Center of Gwinnett is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation community operated by Life Care Centers of America in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The facility serves Gwinnett County residents and offers long-term care, rehabilitation, and memory care. 24-hour staffing exists. Accepted are Medicare and private pay.
Quality Measures for long-stay residents are rated significantly above Georgia’s average, a meaningful clinical outcome signal for families thinking of long-term placement. Weekend RN coverage runs 50 percent above state average, providing stronger registered nurse oversight during hours when many facilities reduce clinical staffing. CNA hours run 12 percent below the Georgia benchmark, a counter to the otherwise positive staffing picture.
Amenities contain a fine dining program, library, landscaped courtyards near Jackson Creek, and transportation services. The community is near shops and restaurants along the Lawrenceville corridor in northern Gwinnett County.
With above-average quality outcomes, the facility fits older adults in Gwinnett County who need long-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation in a residential setting that’s near the area’s medical corridor. The compliance record can’t be characterized; families should request survey history from the facility or the Georgia Long-Term Care Ombudsman.
Delmar Gardens of Gwinnett is a dedicated community in Lawrenceville, GA, that offers comprehensive care, including memory care, assisted living, independent living, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing. Dedicated to residents’ well-being, the community provides top-notch care and assistance around the clock to meet their needs and preferences. A compassionate and highly trained team helps seniors with their daily living activities and household responsibilities, ensuring a maintenance-free lifestyle.
With a carefully curated calendar of fun activities and engaging programs, residents are encouraged to meet new friends and gain meaningful experiences. There’s no need to worry about mealtimes with delicious and healthy meals, served to cater to dietary needs and preferences. The community is equipped with grab bars, emergency lighting, electrical systems, and wheelchair-accessible spaces, ensuring residents’ comfort and safety.
Life Care Center of Lawrenceville is a 125-bed skilled nursing and recovery facility situated at 210 Collins Industrial Way in Lawrenceville, Georgia. With 28 years of operation, the center provides long-term care, Alzheimer’s support, and specialized rehabilitation near Gwinnett Medical Center. The property maintains an occupancy rate of 67% and features staffing levels for registered nurses, practical nurses, and physical therapists that consistently exceed Georgia state averages.
Data from the Georgia Department of Community Health shows an average of 6.2 deficiencies annually over the last decade, which is 27% higher than the state benchmark. While the facility achieved a citations-per-inspection rate of zero in March 2025, it previously faced challenges with infection control and respiratory care safety. An August 2023 investigation documented immediate jeopardy related to outbreak management that resulted in multiple hospitalizations and one fatality, though the facility implemented comprehensive corrective actions immediately afterward.
Clinical and administrative oversight has also addressed recurring issues with background screenings and environmental safety. A January 2025 survey cited the facility for failures in employee background checks, improper sanitation of respiratory supplies, and inconsistent water temperature safety. Follow-up inspections in early 2025 confirmed that all of these deficiencies were resolved, and the facility is currently in compliance with Life Safety Code standards.
Supportive amenities at the campus include fine dining, a beauty salon, and various recreational programs like pet visitation. The facility’s high weekend nursing coverage, 10% above the state average, suggests a commitment to maintaining care quality outside of standard business hours. Additionally, the center offers community re-entry programs and specialized dementia care within a setting that accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
This environment is best suited for residents who require intensive physical therapy and whose representatives can verify that the recent improvements in background check protocols and infection control are being strictly maintained.
