Overview of Social Circle Nsg & Rehab Ctr

Located on North Cherokee Road in Social Circle, Georgia, Social Circle Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing home with 65 beds. The facility has been operating for 50 years with an occupancy rate of about 86%. Residents stay an average of 184 days, including those receiving short-term rehabilitation and needing longer-term skilled nursing care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families different coverage options.

The facility strongly focuses on rehabilitation. Advanced rehab programs and specialty clinical services are supported by comprehensive on-site therapy. Daily nurse staffing averages about 3 hours and 39 minutes per resident. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses work together to provide care around the clock. This staffing level means hands-on assistance is a constant part of the setting, which could be useful for families choosing a home for post-acute recovery.

Restaurant-style dining is part of daily life, with meals prepared by an in-house chef. The focus is on fresh and nutritious food. Residents also have access to on-site therapy services, so they won’t have to go outside for appointments. The facility has a beauty salon and barbershop, family gathering areas, landscaped grounds and courtyards, complimentary in-room cable, and daily social and enrichment activities. A dedicated concierge and social services team work with residents and families as well.

State inspections have documented concerns involving medication management, infection control protocols, and care documentation. The facility addressed those deficiencies. More recent oversight also identified areas involving medication cart security, disinfection procedures, and care administration that required attention and correction. Families visiting the facility should ask how these clinical practices and safety protocols are handled daily.

Some nearby services can be reached within walking distance, but most errands and appointments require a short drive. The home has been part of the Social Circle community for 50 years.

3h 39m per day

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below 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.	26m per day	▼ 10% 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.	57m per day	■ Avg 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 56m per day	▼ 10% 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 2m 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.	2m per day	▼ 38% 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
