CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Jonesboro Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 129-bed skilled nursing facility in Jonesboro, Georgia, offering rehabilitation services, memory care, and long-term care to residents in Clayton County. The facility is privately owned by Marcus Oates and has been continuously operating for 33 years. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay admissions.
CMS rates the facility 4 stars overall, with a Health Inspection score 49.3% above the Georgia average — the strongest driver of the overall rating. Across standard surveys from 2020 through 2025, the facility recorded no immediate jeopardy findings, federal fines, or license actions. The March 2025 survey cited nine deficiencies across health, fire safety, and licensure; a May 2025 reinspection confirmed that all had been corrected. The 2023 inspection cycle carried a heavier citation load, resulting in 24 deficiencies across Life Safety Code, standard, and licensure surveys — though, again, without enforcement action.
Staffing averages 3 hours and 53 minutes of total nursing care per resident per day, ranking 47th out of 190 Georgia skilled nursing facilities and running about 11% below the state average. Quality Measures scores sit at the Georgia average.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 100%, well above Georgia’s average of 78.1%, indicating consistent demand. The facility’s payer mix skews toward Medicare (22% of new admissions), with a 114-day average length of stay that reflects a blend of post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term placements. An active Resident Council meets regularly to address quality of care and facility policies.
Jonesboro Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is best suited for residents seeking post-acute rehabilitation or memory care in Clayton County. It suits families who weigh inspection record and consistent demand as placement signals over staffing ratios.
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.
