Anderson Mill Center for Nursing and Healing LLC manages a 170-bed nursing home under the ownership of Empire Ga at 2000 Salt Springs Road in Austell, Georgia. Now in its fourth year of operation, the facility maintains a steady daily baseline near 71 percent occupancy, meaning roughly 120 beds are filled. Financial accounts process billing across individual out-of-pocket transactions, federal Medicare, and state Medicaid options. Stays average 70 days, showing a routine census heavily focused on short-term post-hospital therapy and intermediate clinical recovery.
The building is located about six miles northwest of Atlanta in an area with a walk score of 12 out of 100, meaning family members will need a car for visits. Inside, the floor schedule delivers an average of 3 hours and 20 minutes of daily nursing attention to each person. Licensed practical nurses supply 46 minutes of this care, registered nurses add 35 minutes, and certified nursing assistants cover 1 hour and 45 minutes. Daily services include standard laundry, mail delivery, internet access, an on-site barber shop, and a central dining room that serves regular meals.
A public survey from May 2025 flagged a few operational deficiencies involving care timeliness, general infection control procedures, and medication protocols. A follow-up state reinspection in June 2025 confirmed the facility had resolved these issues, bringing the building back into full compliance. Additionally, a prior complaint investigation concluded with zero verified regulatory violations.
Families evaluating care options can call the intake office to check current bed layouts, ask about the therapy programs, or schedule a time to walk through the communal lounges.
