This home is ranked 134th out of 180 homes in Georgia.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 19m per day | ▼ 37% State avg: 30m 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.
| 1h 56m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 46m 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.
| 3m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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 | ▼ 45% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

In Georgia, the Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division conducts unannounced inspections to ensure facilities adhere to state health and safety requirements.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Georgia average: 15 visits/inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Georgia average: 21 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on December 12, 2024, found no deficiencies after a revisit survey confirmed correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections showed a mix of findings, including an Immediate Jeopardy related to pressure ulcer care identified in October 2024, which was resolved during that survey period. Main deficiencies involved pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, documentation of advanced directives, blood glucose monitoring, and some life safety code issues such as emergency lighting and sprinkler system maintenance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated case related to pressure ulcer care that coincided with the Immediate Jeopardy finding. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies effectively, as recent follow-up and complaint-related surveys found no outstanding issues.
