Warm Springs Medical Center Nursing Home is a 79-bed privately owned facility located at 5995 Spring Street in Warm Springs, Georgia. Situated in Meriwether County, the community coordinates comprehensive long-term nursing oversight, specialized memory care, and clinical rehabilitation tracks. The property reports an 86% occupancy level and maintains a close physical connection to on-site emergency, pharmacy, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory medical services.
State administrative tracking records from the Georgia Department of Community Health document ongoing compliance challenges, with the property averaging 6.3 deficiencies annually over a nine-year tracking window. A March 2025 routine inspection cited a clinical deficiency regarding an incorrect oxygen administration flow rate, while a concurrent life safety code survey cited four infrastructure infractions involving unsealed wall penetrations and exit signs lacking backup batteries.
These followed a November 2023 evaluation that documented six substantive deficiencies, including unaddressed resident grievances, inadequate registered nurse coverage across 13 distinct days, and poor dietary sanitation. Despite these persistent patterns, subsequent state follow-up visits verified complete correction of all health and life safety tags, while multiple 2025 complaint audits were finalized with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
Daily care operations deliver an average of three hours and 38 minutes of direct nursing hours per resident each day. Licensed therapists provide on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy tracks, while geriatric nursing staff handle routine medication passes, intravenous treatments, and respiratory management. Public records indicate that the operation has not been penalized with active state administrative fines or operating license restrictions, confirming that previous enforcement actions were resolved through standard administrative remedies.
Prospective representatives exploring regional skilled nursing or memory care environments can look to this high-occupancy facility to combine intensive on-site hospital capabilities with a verified record of corrected state surveys. This community layout is structured for residents who require regular clinical monitoring and whose sponsors value direct access to diagnostic imaging and 24-hour physician coverage.
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 70th 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.
| 15m per day | ▼ 47% 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 4m per day | ▲ 15% 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 43m per day | ▼ 20% 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.
| 2h 41m per day | ▼ 13% 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 | ▼ 48% 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.
| 11m per day | ▼ 47% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
