Westwood Healthcare and Rehabilitation is a 60-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Statesboro, Bryan County, Georgia, offering short-term post-acute rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and respite stays. The facility is privately owned and operated by Laura White. The inspection record warrants attention. Over six standard inspections between 2020 and 2025, the facility averaged 13 deficiencies per year — roughly 165% above the Georgia average of 4.9. The May 2025 recertification survey found the facility out of substantial compliance, with citations spanning environmental sanitation, care plan implementation, life safety code violations, and failure to follow physician orders for oxygen administration. One of the four complaints investigated that month was substantiated. A June 2025 revisit confirmed all cited deficiencies had been corrected. CMS rates the facility 3 stars overall, with a Health Inspection sub-rating about 12% above the Georgia average — a measure that reflects the three most recent standard surveys. Quality Measures is 34% below the state average, the clearest drag on the overall score. Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 15 minutes per resident per day, roughly 10% below the Georgia average of 3 hours and 37 minutes. The facility’s occupancy rate is 97%, compared with a Georgia average of 78%, ranking 17th out of 315 Georgia skilled nursing facilities — a signal of consistent local demand. The facility accepts Medicare and Medicaid and offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with a wound care program and discharge planning services. Westwood serves residents seeking short-term post-acute rehabilitation or long-term skilled nursing care in the Statesboro area, with availability more constrained than that of most Georgia peers given the near-capacity census.
