Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn

Amara Health Care & Rehab is a 193-bed nursing home on Scott Road in Augusta, Georgia. Operating for 10 years, it functions with moderate occupancy in an area with a Walk Score of 35. Some nearby services are walkable, but most trips need transportation.

The home staffs nursing care at around 4 hours 38 minutes per resident day, with registered nurses providing roughly 34 minutes, nurse aides 2 hours 18 minutes, and licensed practical nurses 1 hour 5 minutes daily. This blend of staff provides the groundwork for daily hands-on care and support.

Since 2017, the facility has been under regulatory oversight. Earlier surveys noted themes around infection control practices and medication management protocols, themes the home can address in its ongoing operations.

Staff type
Hours / day / resident
vs state avg
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.
34m
+14% State avg: 30m 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.
1h 5m
+16% 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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
2h 18m
+7% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.

+10% State avg: 3h 6m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
2m
−26% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
