Overview of Rehabilitation Center of South Georgia

Rehabilitation Center of South Georgia is a 178-bed memory care and recovery facility at 2002 Tift Avenue North in Tifton, Georgia. Managed by Advent Properties, Inc., the center provides 24-hour nursing support and short-term recovery programs for Tift County seniors. The property currently reports an occupancy rate of 66%, which is notably lower than the Georgia state average of 78.1%.

Oversight records from the Georgia Department of Community Health reveal a long-term average of 10.2 deficiencies per year, a rate 108% higher than the state benchmark. Despite receiving a quality award in 2017, the facility has struggled with systemic safety violations, including a September 2023 investigation that substantiated the involuntary seclusion of memory care residents. Reports also detail a failure to report abuse allegations and actual harm, such as a resident who sustained head injuries and bruising due to a lack of necessary safety interventions.

Safety and maintenance audits have frequently identified persistent hazards regarding fire protection and emergency systems. Between 2017 and 2024, state inspectors documented blocked exits, emergency lighting failures, and unsealed smoke barriers in over ten locations. A July 2024 survey further confirmed that the facility failed to properly maintain its fire alarm system and utilized extension cords as permanent wiring, placing residents at ongoing risk.

Clinical management has also faced scrutiny regarding infection control and mental health support. Past investigations found that residents went up to ten days without scheduled bathing, and specialized equipment for residents with feeding tubes was found with grime and dried formula buildup. Furthermore, a 2018 report substantiated that the facility failed to provide psychiatric services or notify physicians after a resident with major depressive disorder expressed suicidal thoughts.

Prospective representatives should conduct a meticulous walkthrough of the facility to check for exit obstructions and the cleanliness of specialized medical equipment. This environment is best for residents whose families can maintain a constant presence to ensure that scheduled care, such as bathing and mental health monitoring, is actually delivered as planned.

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +54% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	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.	28m per day	■ Avg State avg: 29m 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.	1h 10m per day	▲ 26% 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 55m per day	▼ 11% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing 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.	3h 5m per day	■ Avg 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.	5m per day	▲ 54% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	16m per day	▼ 18% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day
