Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (51% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 2 - 3 months.
Ross Memorial Health Care Center is a 100-bed skilled nursing facility located at 1780 Old Highway 41 in Kennesaw, Georgia. Situated in Cobb County, the community experiences strong local demand with a registered occupancy level of 95%. The property maintains a 5-star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and coordinates clinical nursing oversight alongside short-term medical rehabilitation.
State regulatory files from the Georgia Department of Community Health document an average of 4.9 deficiencies annually over a seven-year tracking period, aligning directly with the statewide baseline. A February 22, 2024, routine health inspection cited one deficiency regarding building maintenance issues, noting cracked dining room floor tiles, gouged drywall, a broken salon chair, and damaged station doors.
A concurrent life safety code survey identified three structural infractions for delayed fire hood suppression servicing, an un-dated kitchen fire extinguisher tag, and unlabeled oxygen canisters in a storage room. Subsequent follow-up and revisit audits conducted in April 2024 confirmed that all health and environmental tags were fully corrected, resulting in a contemporary citations-per-inspection rate of zero for the resolved tracking cycle.
Daily healthcare systems provide extensive on-site resources, featuring licensed speech, occupational, and physical therapy tracks to assist residents recovering from acute injuries or surgeries. Nursing personnel handle ongoing medication cycles, coordinate wound care treatments, and deliver dedicated memory support inside the secure residential units. Public administrative databases contain no active civil money penalties, operating fines, or state licensing constraints against the current management group.
Prospective residents interested in a high-demand, high-occupancy skilled nursing layout can review this community’s swift multi-week timeline of regulatory corrections. This 100-bed setting is engineered for seniors who require comprehensive clinical supervision and whose sponsors value an established federal star rating paired with consistent oversight responsive to consumer feedback.
Ross Memorial Health Care Ctr is administered by Mr. Jimmie Ross.
In Georgia, the Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division conducts unannounced inspections to ensure facilities adhere to state health and safety requirements.
