Overview of Altamaha Healthcare Center

Altamaha Healthcare Center is a 62-bed, faith-based non-profit nursing home located at 1311 West Cherry Street in Jesup, Georgia. Owned by Chido Mukwindidza and run by administrator Stephanie Williams, the nine-year-old facility operates at an 89 percent occupancy rate with 55 residents currently placed. The average stay lasts about five months, meaning the workload is balanced between temporary post-hospital therapy and long-term medical care. For billing, the office works with standard private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The surrounding area is moderately walkable, scoring a 64 out of 100, which allows visitors to handle some quick tasks nearby on foot. Inside the building, residents receive an average of 2 hours and 46 minutes of direct nursing care each day, primarily from LPNs and nurse aides. The clinical staff coordinates targeted programs for wound care, stroke recovery, fall prevention, and post-operative care. Because the home brings in visiting specialists, including a podiatrist, optometrist, psychiatrist, and audiologist, residents can get basic checkups without traveling out for appointments.

Recent surveys focused on medication management, infection control, paperwork accuracy, and resident rights; a subsequent follow-up inspection confirmed that the management team corrected all past issues to meet state operating rules.

Families can contact the main registration office to check on current openings, ask about the available therapy programs, or set up a time to walk through the building.

Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 15m per day ▼ 48% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 59m per day ▲ 5% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.
