Fountainview Center for Alzheimer is a 120-bed memory care nursing home in Atlanta, Georgia, operated by David Small. The facility has served the Briarcliff Heights area for over 54 years, with residents staying an average of three years and maintaining 88% occupancy.
Over nine years of inspections, the facility recorded 25 deficiencies, 2.8 per year, compared to Georgia’s state average of 4.9. A July 2025 revisit survey confirmed correction of all deficiencies from the prior May survey, including pressure ulcer prevention and pain management. One substantiated complaint in December 2024 resulted in no violations. The facility reports no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions.
Certified nursing aides provide 2 hours 31 minutes of direct care daily per resident, placing it in Georgia’s top 30. Total nursing hours average 4 hours 20 minutes per day, 20% above the state average and the 26th highest among Georgia skilled nursing facilities. Registered nurse coverage runs 15 minutes daily, reflecting the facility’s focus on long-term memory care rather than acute care.
The facility operates 24-hour skilled nursing with on-site geriatric psychiatry, rehabilitation, respite care, and hospice services. Performance data shows 33% better outcomes than state benchmarks for fall prevention and clinical complication management. The facility holds Medicare and Medicaid certification.
Older adults needing extended memory care and psychiatric support will find a setting focused on stability and dementia management. The facility’s long-standing presence in the community reflects its capacity to sustain care over extended resident tenures.
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 26th out of 190 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 37% 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.
| 59m per day | ▲ 6% 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.
| 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.
| 3h 13m per day | ▲ 4% 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 74% 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.
| 8m per day | ▼ 58% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
