Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Georgia average: 21 deficiencies

Inspection Report Summary for Salude – the Art of Recovery

The most recent inspection on June 4, 2025, found no deficiencies during an abbreviated survey that investigated multiple complaints, some of which were substantiated but did not result in citations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of isolated deficiencies primarily related to food labeling and dating, as well as fire safety and life safety code compliance issues, including problems with fire alarm and sprinkler maintenance and electrical safety. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions listed in the available reports. Prior deficiencies related to food storage and fire safety were corrected in subsequent surveys, and the facility demonstrated substantial compliance in recent years. This suggests an overall improvement trend in addressing prior issues.
