Presbyterian Village Athens is a nonprofit, 60-bed memory care and recovery center located at 1400 Live Oak Lane in Athens, Georgia. Situated approximately seven miles from the city center, the facility provides 24-hour staffing, short-term rehabilitation, and cognitive support. The campus features a wide range of social amenities including a fitness center, art studio, chapel, and pickleball courts, with a nurse staffing level of 4 hours and 49 minutes per resident per day.
State regulatory records from the Georgia Department of Community Health highlight a high level of adherence to health and safety codes, with an average of 0.3 deficiencies annually over four years. The facility currently holds a citations-per-inspection rate of zero following its most recent audit in May 2025. Between 2021 and early 2025, every state inspection and complaint investigation resulted in no rule violations, indicating that the center performs 94% better than the Georgia state average regarding regulatory compliance.
Administrative history shows only one documented oversight in 2023, where the facility was cited for operating its memory care unit without an updated certificate. This specific administrative lapse had no reported impact on resident care quality and was the only deficiency recorded during the four-year reporting period. No fines, license restrictions, or enforcement actions are present in the public record, and the original licensing process was completed with no violations.
Operational data shows a critically low occupancy rate of 3%, which is significantly below the Georgia state average of 78.1%. While the facility demonstrates a near-perfect regulatory record, this level of vacancy is unusual for a functioning community and suggests a potential operational transition or a shift in the local market. Management continues to maintain a high staffing ratio despite the low census, according to the latest available nursing records.
This community is best for individuals who prioritize a quiet environment with a strong history of regulatory compliance and high nurse-to-resident ratios. Interested individuals are encouraged to tour the extensive grounds and verify that all amenities and specialized programs remain available and appropriately staffed before making a commitment.
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.

Historical financial and operational data for Presbyterian Village Athens from 2023–2024, based on CMS SNF Cost Reports.
Key figures below are for fiscal year ending in 06/2024.
Based on CMS SNF Cost Report for fiscal year ending in 06/2024.
Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
Rank #69 / 169Payroll costs — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 69th out of 169 homes in Georgia. Shows total staff payroll — salaries plus wage-related benefits — benchmarked to the Georgia average, among facilities reporting a recent fiscal year. Higher payroll relative to peers often signals better staffing and less reliance on contract labor.Facilities with the same value for a metric share the same rank. Rankings are based only on facilities in Georgia that report data for that category. Facilities without available data are excluded from the ranking.
Payroll as a share of revenue: staff salaries and wage-related benefits divided by net patient revenue. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay.
