The Haven at Lake Oconee
Overview of The Haven at Lake Oconee
The Haven at Lake Oconee is a 72-bed memory care and assisted living facility located at 1061 Willow Run Road in Greensboro, Georgia. Managed by a professional administrative team, the community serves Greene County by providing specialized cognitive support and respite care. The property is situated in a quiet setting approximately 10 miles from St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital and features restaurant-style dining and local transportation services.
Recent oversight data from the Georgia Department of Community Health reveals a mixed compliance history, with the facility averaging nine deficiencies over the past year, a rate higher than the state average. While the most recent complaint investigation in July 2025 resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, multiple audits earlier in the year documented significant operational gaps. Specifically, a February 2025 inspection identified failures in fire safety drills, unmaintained fire extinguishers, and an unsecured outdoor memory care area with poor accessibility.
This community’s operational model includes 24-hour staffing and personalized wellness programs, though administrative consistency has been a point of regulatory focus. Investigations in April and June 2025 substantiated issues concerning inadequate staff training hours, insufficient nurse coverage, and the improper disposal of expired medications. Medicaid is an accepted payment source, and the facility utilizes emergency call systems and structured care plans to manage the daily needs of up to 72 residents.
Individualized attention is facilitated through programs like “Class Act” and “Nourish,” which are designed to support residents with memory impairment. Although the July 2025 clean inspection suggests a positive shift in management, the facility has previously struggled with meeting the required 16 hours of annual staff training and timely care plan updates. No formal fines are currently listed, but the record indicates a period of startup or transition challenges following a change in ownership.
Interested individuals should conduct a thorough walk-through to evaluate the security of the outdoor memory care spaces and the condition of fire safety equipment. Meeting with the administrator provides an opportunity to verify that all staff members have completed their mandatory training hours and that nurse coverage currently meets state requirements. To ensure a safe placement, families are encouraged to ask for documentation regarding the facility’s corrective actions following the medication management and safety citations issued earlier in 2025.
