Salude – the Art of Recovery accepts Medicare and private pay.
Salude, the Art of Recovery provides nursing home and skilled nursing care in Suwanee, Georgia. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while rehabilitation services help a resident regain function after a health event. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs nursing care alongside focused rehabilitation.
The 64 bed community offers orthopedic and musculoskeletal care and recovery, cardiac care and recovery, stroke rehabilitation, pulmonary care and recovery, and neurological care and recovery. These programs can support residents whose rehabilitation needs relate to one of those areas. Outpatient and wellness services extend care beyond an inpatient stay.
Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 47 minutes per resident each day, representing the daily nurse time assigned to each resident. Medicare and private pay are accepted. Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while private pay means the family pays directly. Devangi Desai serves as administrator.
Quality ratings
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.

FY Dec 2024
Is it financially stable?
Losing money on care, but less than last year
−1.4% operating margin
+2.0 pts vs prior year
An operating loss in 6 of the last 8 reported years. Other income (−$0.0M) trims the net loss to −$0.2M. Watch for cost-cutting that reaches staffing.
Does it invest in staff?
