The Place at Martinez is a privately owned 100-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Augusta, Georgia, catering to Richmond County residents. The community offers long-term care and short-term rehabilitation with 24-hour staffing, memory care, and respite services, and welcomes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The inspection record stands out across Georgia. Over eight years on file, the facility averaged 1.1 deficiencies annually, 78 percent below Georgia’s 4.9 average. No immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions recorded, and every complaint investigation across the entire window returning unsubstantiated. Deficiencies have been limited exclusively to life safety administrative items: an unlabeled electrical panel in 2022 and a sprinkler spare-head order without a completion date in 2024, both corrected on revisit. Annual health surveys in 2022 and 2024 were clean. The 4-star CMS overall rating is supported by a health inspection sub-rating 86.6 percent above Georgia’s average and staffing 33.3 percent above state benchmark; nurse hours of 3h 59m per resident day rank 38th among 190 Georgia SNFs. Quality Measures run 66.8 percent below Georgia’s average, a meaningful clinical outcomes gap that runs counter to the inspection and staffing picture and warrants attention for families placing residents with complex long-term care needs. With current availability, occupancy at 73 percent runs near Georgia’s 78.1 percent average.
The Place at Martinez is suitable for residents in Augusta seeking long-term skilled nursing or short-term post-acute rehabilitation, with an inspection record consistently ranking among Georgia’s strongest.
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.

This home is ranked 38th out of 190 homes in Georgia. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 32m 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.
| 1h 1m per day | ▲ 9% 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.
| 2h 10m per day | ■ Avg 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 26m per day | ▲ 11% 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 67% 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.
| 22m per day | ▲ 10% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
