Overview of Lumber City Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
Lumber City Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is an 86-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Lumber City, Georgia, serving Telfair County residents. The community offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, wound care, memory care, and respite care with 24-hour staffing. Accepted: Medicare, Medicaid, and most major insurance plans.
The inspection record, covering 2017 to 2022, averaged 4.3 deficiencies annually, 12 percent below Georgia’s 4.9 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. The heaviest survey in the window was the March 2020 annual, which cited 13 deficiencies spanning care planning, dietary management, food safety, infection control, physician notification, and nurse staffing posting. Complaint investigations throughout the window were largely unsubstantiated, and all deficiencies corrected on revisit. The latest inspection on file is March 2022, which cited one deficiency tied to a substantiated complaint; no inspections are on record after that date, a gap of over three years that limits what the record can confirm about current performance. The facility’s clinical service offering is oriented toward post-acute and subacute care, with comprehensive wound care, physical and occupational therapies, and specialty beds listed among confirmed services. With a declining trend from earlier years, occupancy was 71 percent in the March 2022 inspection, near Georgia’s 78.1 percent average.
Lumber City Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is designed for short- and long-term skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation in Telfair County. It provides clinical programming suited to medically complex and wound-care-intensive residents.

Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
- The most recent inspection on March 31, 2022, cited one deficiency related to a substantiated complaint, while two other complaints investigated at that time were unsubstantiated. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, including a period in early 2020 when multiple deficiencies were cited involving resident care, infection control, dietary management, and notification procedures, as well as some life safety code issues related to fire alarm and sprinkler maintenance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the one in March 2022 and two substantiated complaints in March 2020, which led to several cited deficiencies. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies over time, with fewer issues noted in the most recent inspection compared to earlier years.
