Overview of Gracemore Nursing and Rehab

Gracemore Nursing and Rehab is a 60-bed nursing home on Lee Street in Brunswick, Georgia, and has been open for 53 years. Right now, the building stays about two-thirds full, running at a 67 percent occupancy rate. For coverage, the billing office accepts standard private pay, state Medicaid, and federal Medicare. Stays here average 152 days, an operational timeline showing that the floor routine splits its attention between short-term post-hospital therapy and longer residential placements.

Registered nurses handle 43 minutes of the care plan, while a mix of licensed practical nurses and aides handle the remaining clinical hours. Residents get about 3 hours and 24 minutes of daily hands-on care from the nursing team to help with medications and physical routines. The surrounding Brunswick neighborhood is tough to get around on foot, earning a walk score of just 34 out of 100. Family members will need a car to visit the property or handle any quick errands nearby.

Local administrators use standard state health, safety, and operational reviews to tweak daily floor workflows and keep employee training updated. These periodic audits look over routine practices like building maintenance, staff distribution, and infection control to verify compliance with regional codes. The home’s public records indicate that the facility continues to update its maintenance schedules and adjust employee clinical workflows based on these standard evaluation reports.

Individuals looking at care options in the area can reach out to the admissions office to check on current room vacancies, ask about the temporary respite programs, or book an afternoon walkthrough.

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +49% above state avg

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.	43m per day	▲ 49% 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.	52m per day	▼ 7% 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.	1h 49m per day	▼ 15% 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.	2h 54m per day	▼ 6% 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	▼ 65% 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.	21m per day	▲ 7% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
