This home is ranked 35th out of 169 homes in Georgia.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 24m per day | ▼ 17% 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.
| 54m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 56m 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.
| 3h 15m per day | ▲ 51% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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.
| 3h 28m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 3h 6m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 4m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 10m per day | ▼ 50% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.

In Georgia, the Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division conducts unannounced inspections to ensure facilities adhere to state health and safety requirements.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Georgia average: 15 visits/inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Georgia average: 21 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on June 7, 2024, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections in April 2024 cited multiple deficiencies related to medication management, social services support for vision and hearing care, anticoagulant monitoring, kitchen safety, and food safety practices. Complaint investigations around that time included one substantiated complaint without resulting deficiencies and one unsubstantiated complaint. Prior reports noted issues with Life Safety Code compliance, including sprinkler system maintenance and door locking mechanisms, as well as failures to report complete COVID-19 data in early 2023 and late 2022. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies successfully, as indicated by the clean results in the most recent inspections.
