What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5

The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.

All citations in the current public record (10)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
Sep 18, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep residents' personal and medical information private and confidential.
Sep 18, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not label drugs according to professional standards or did not store them in locked compartments, with controlled drugs (medications with a high risk of misuse) kept under a separate lock.
Jun 16, 2024	F · Potential for harm, facility-wide	The facility did not electronically submit complete and accurate staffing information to the government, based on payroll and other verifiable records.
Jun 16, 2024	F · Potential for harm, facility-wide	The facility did not designate a qualified infection preventionist — a trained person responsible for running the infection prevention and control program.
Jun 16, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines.
May 11, 2023	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines.
May 11, 2023	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not have a registered nurse on duty at least 8 hours a day, or did not have a registered nurse serving full-time as director of nursing.
May 11, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility transferred or discharged a resident without a valid reason, or failed to provide the required documentation and information when moving a resident out.
May 11, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not accurately assess a resident's health and needs. Assessments are the foundation for all the care a resident receives.
May 11, 2023	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide the help residents need with basic daily activities — like bathing, dressing, eating, and using the bathroom — for residents who cannot do these things on their own.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

Measure	This facility	Georgia avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	0.00	3.54	3.95	—
Registered Nurse hours	0.00	0.50	0.69	—
Weekend total nurse staffing	0.00	3.09	3.50	—
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.00	0.35	0.48	—
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	33.3	46.0	45.8	top 17% in Georgia; top 20% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	0.0	44.5	42.9	—

Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 0.00, RN 0.00, weekend 0.00. Staffing rating: 1/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.

Quality measures rating: 2/5 · long-stay residents: 2/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
