Twin Oaks Convalescent Center is an 88-bed skilled nursing facility located at 301 South Baker Street in Alma, Georgia. Situated in Bacon County, the property operates an 83% occupancy level and coordinates long-term senior housing, specialized memory care, transitional care tracks, and short-term recovery services.
Oversight logs from the Georgia Department of Community Health document moderate regulatory performance, with the facility averaging 4.5 deficiencies annually over an eight-year tracking window. A March 28, 2025, routine survey and concurrent complaint audit cited two deficiencies after staff members failed to use protective gowns during wound care for a resident with diabetic ulcers, and failed to maintain a functional air conditioner in a residential room where temperatures reached 80°F. Historical state files also note past infractions involving fire safety codes, care planning gaps, and delayed infection reporting. However, consecutive state follow-up visits conducted in May and June 2025 confirmed that all previous health and environmental tags were successfully resolved, resulting in a contemporary citations-per-inspection rate of zero for the remediation cycle.
Daily clinical operations deliver an average of four hours and 31 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day. Staffing structures support specialized rehabilitation therapies, medication management, respite housing, and dedicated family training programs. Public regulatory indexes display no active monetary fines, civil penalties, or licensing constraints against the operator, indicating that recent compliance issues were settled through standard correction timelines.
Prospective residents exploring regional nursing or memory care options can look to this facility’s history of swift regulatory remediation and above-average direct care hours. The environment is suitable for seniors who require high-density clinical oversight and whose sponsors want a setting that maintains consistent contact with family representatives.
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 22nd out of 190 homes in Georgia for nurse hours. 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.
| 36m per day | ▲ 26% 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 16m per day | ▲ 36% 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 11m 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 21m per day | ▲ 8% 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 | ▼ 58% 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.
| 10m per day | ▼ 49% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
