This home is ranked 141st out of 169 homes in Georgia.| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 34m per day | ▲ 13% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 46m per day | ▼ 18% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 1h 51m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 29m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 3h 6m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 4m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 21m per day | ▲ 5% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
11% of new residents, usually for short-term rehab.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on April 4, 2025 found no deficiencies and substantiated none of the complaints investigated. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies primarily related to resident care, including medication management, dining experience, and care planning, as well as environmental and infection control issues such as unsanitary conditions and food temperature maintenance. Complaint investigations mostly resulted in unsubstantiated findings, though some prior complaints were substantiated with deficiencies involving resident care, medication self-administration, and facility maintenance. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports.
