CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Atrium Health Navicent Carlyle Place is a continuing care retirement community at 5300 Zebulon Road in Macon, Georgia, offering a life plan model that spans independent living to skilled nursing. Backed by the region’s primary healthcare provider, the facility maintains a 70.9% occupancy rate and features a wellness center, spa amenities, and on-site physician services. While the campus supports active aging, the car-dependent location requires a vehicle for most off-site errands.
State oversight data from the Georgia Department of Community Health reveals a significant performance gap, with health inspection ratings falling 64.2% below the state average. Although the facility reached a citations-per-inspection rate of zero during recent follow-up windows, the historical compliance record is the weakest metric for the property. Despite these regulatory challenges, the organization has earned recognition for leadership diversity, including placements on the Top 25 Minorities in Healthcare Watch List and honors for executives under 40.
Clinical staffing levels are a primary strength, with total nursing hours averaging 6 hours and 30 minutes per resident daily. This volume is 82% above the Georgia average, ranking the facility 4th out of 190 nursing homes statewide. Quality outcomes are also reported at 40.9% above the state benchmark, suggesting that the high ratio of nurses and aides contributes to positive medical results despite the lower inspection scores.
Operational services include rehabilitation, pastoral care, and garden access for residents across all care levels. The facility accepts Medicare and private pay, utilizing its Magnet-designated status to attract clinical staff for complex medication management and long-term oversight. While weekend nursing hours remain high at over five hours per resident, administrative efforts continue to focus on narrowing the discrepancy between staffing investments and regulatory compliance.
This community is best for individuals who prioritize high nurse-to-resident ratios and regional healthcare backing over a perfect regulatory history. Families are encouraged to tour the wellness and rehabilitation centers to observe how the facility’s top-tier staffing levels translate into daily resident support and clinical monitoring.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 4th out of 202 homes in Georgia for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
|
26m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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 51m per day | ▲ 100% State avg: 55m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
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 32m per day | ▲ 18% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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.
|
4h 20m per day | ▲ 38% State avg: 3h 9m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
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.
|
1m per day | ▼ 77% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
|
22m per day | ▲ 10% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
