Harborview Pierce County is a 78-bed skilled nursing facility located in Blackshear, Pierce County, Georgia, operated as part of Harborview Health Systems’ regional network. The facility is moderately walkable with a walk score of 60, offering convenient access to nearby services and amenities. As a licensure-only home within a respected regional health system, Harborview Pierce County has maintained nine years of stable operations.
The facility’s inspection record is notably strong. Over eight years, Harborview Pierce County averaged 0.3 deficiencies annually—performing 94% better than Georgia’s average of 4.9 per year. The most recent inspection on April 16, 2025, found no deficiencies, with the sole complaint investigation deemed unsubstantiated. The facility’s deficiency history is sparse: a February 2019 licensure survey identified two issues related to incomplete care plan updates for fall documentation and improper hand hygiene during wound care. A follow-up survey in April 2019 confirmed both had been corrected. Complaint investigations have been predominantly unsubstantiated, and the facility has no pending fines or enforcement actions.
Harborview Pierce County distinguishes itself through specialized medical services: on-site dialysis, cardiac management, rehabilitation therapy, and dedicated Alzheimer’s and dementia care programs. These capabilities reflect a commitment to managing medical complexity and integrated care coordination. The facility’s membership in a nine-hospital regional health system provides residents access to specialty services and broader healthcare coordination not available at stand-alone facilities.
The community suits residents seeking skilled nursing care with access to specialized medical services in an established facility. Those with cardiac conditions, kidney disease requiring dialysis, or advancing dementia benefit from the combination of in-house expertise and regional network support. The strong inspection record and structured approach to medical management make Harborview Pierce County a fit for families prioritizing coordinated, specialty-capable care in a stable operational environment.
