What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
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.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 12, 2024 · F-0656
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.
Why it matters: Without a complete, working care plan, important needs can slip through the cracks and no one is accountable for results.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Mar 22, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 12, 2024 · F-0695
The facility did not provide safe and appropriate respiratory care — such as oxygen, breathing treatments, or care for residents on breathing equipment — for residents who needed it.
Why it matters: Mistakes in breathing care can quickly become life-threatening for residents who depend on oxygen or equipment.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Mar 22, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 12, 2024 · F-0835
The facility was not managed in a way that uses its money, staff, and resources effectively and efficiently to care for residents.
Why it matters: Poor administration often shows up as understaffing, supply shortages, and care problems across the whole facility.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Mar 22, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 12, 2024 · F-0908
The facility did not keep all essential equipment working safely — things like heating and cooling systems, kitchen equipment, and medical devices.
Why it matters: Broken essential equipment can directly endanger residents' health, comfort, and safety.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Mar 22, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 2.83 | 3.54 | 3.95 | bottom 12% in Georgia; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.28 | 0.50 | 0.69 | bottom 19% in Georgia; bottom 7% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.53 | 3.09 | 3.50 | bottom 18% in Georgia; bottom 10% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.30 | 0.35 | 0.48 | top 46% in Georgia; bottom 32% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 64.3 | 46.0 | 45.8 | bottom 7% in Georgia; bottom 11% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 63.6 | 44.5 | 42.9 | bottom 18% in Georgia; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
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 3.62, RN 0.35, weekend 3.24. 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.
