Located on Riverside Avenue in Waycross, Georgia, Harborview Satilla is a skilled nursing home owned by Pierce Satilla Holdings. The 96-bed facility is near the center of town. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover short-term rehabilitation and ongoing nursing care. The location is in a car-dependent area, so visiting family members need to plan transportation.
Rehabilitation and recovery are at the center of the home’s services. Short-term rehab, rehabilitation services, and cardiac management programs are available. An on-site physician and nurse practitioner provide daily medical oversight.
Residents receive about 3 hours and 15 minutes of nursing care each day. They are also supported by registered nurses, nurse aides, and LPN/LVN staff. There’s also 24-hour staffing, which provides consistent coverage for resident needs. Residents stay an average of 53 days due to its post-acute recovery focus, and occupancy remains at 90%.
State inspections over the 9 years identified concerns involving resident safety, medication security, care planning consistency, and food safety standards. The home worked through those issues. A recent revisit survey confirmed full correction of previously identified deficiencies. That’s information families can discuss with staff when asking how care and safety protocols are carried out each day.
Residents have comfortable patient rooms. Dining is available in residents’ rooms or in common areas, depending on personal preference. Meal service offers a first-class dining experience. Residents also have access to free salon services, free Wi-Fi and cable television, and telephone service in their rooms. Staff are described as warm and welcoming because it aims to create a positive atmosphere throughout the home
