Gaines Park Senior Living is a 68-bed senior property located at 1740 Old Highway 41 in Kennesaw, Georgia. Situated 2.8 miles from downtown Kennesaw in Cobb County, the pet-friendly community organizes independent living options, short-term respite housing, and specialized memory support programs.
State administrative tracking records from the Georgia Department of Community Health reveal ongoing operational challenges, with the property averaging 1.3 deficiencies annually over an eight-year tracking window. The most recent re-licensure survey on October 1, 2025, cited two deficiencies for failing to conduct mandatory monthly fire drills across six separate months and failing to secure medications in a resident’s room.
Historical records document broader staffing and care problems, including a January 2024 audit for failing to provide the required professional nurse hours in the memory care neighborhood, a September 2022 review for missed cardiac medication doses and delayed call-light response times reaching 61 minutes, and an April 2019 inspection for employing staff without criminal background clearances, retaining a bed-bound resident, and failing to initiate CPR on a resident in respiratory arrest. State files also note a 2017 entry where an eloping resident was returned by a bystander.
Daily household operations are organized around the 68-bed capacity and include basic amenities such as weekly laundry care, regular housekeeping, cable television, internet access, and a beauty salon and billiards room. Personnel coordinate podiatrist visits, manage dining routines, and facilitate resident activities. While a February 2023 complaint inspection was finalized with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, subsequent 2024 and 2025 surveys show recurring safety and medication accountability infractions.
This layout is best suited for seniors whose sponsors can maintain frequent on-site presence to verify emergency preparedness protocols, nurse coverage quotas, and prompt response times.
