Inspection Reports for Bryant Health and Rehabilitation Center
134 S 6TH STREET, COCHRAN, GA, 31014
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on May 30, 2025, found no deficiencies during the revisit survey verifying correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related primarily to cleanliness in the kitchen and ice maker, as well as life safety concerns such as corroded sprinkler heads and exposed electrical wiring. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated complaint in April 2025 that did not result in deficiencies. Prior reports also noted issues with medication administration, resident care, and environmental cleanliness, but these were followed by successful corrections. The overall trend suggests improvement, with recent inspections showing resolved deficiencies and no new citations.
