What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
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)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Oct 19, 2023 · F-0557 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not treat residents with respect and dignity, or did not let them keep and use their own personal belongings.
Why it matters: Disrespectful treatment or losing cherished belongings hurts a resident's sense of self and well-being.

Corrected: Nov 27, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Oct 19, 2023 · F-0602 · triggered by a complaint

Why it matters: Residents who don't get this help can suffer poor hygiene, skin breakdown, weight loss, and a loss of dignity.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

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) | 2.99 | 3.54 | 3.95 | bottom 22% in Georgia; bottom 13% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.33 | 0.50 | 0.69 | bottom 29% in Georgia; bottom 13% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.68 | 3.09 | 3.50 | bottom 27% in Georgia; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.28 | 0.35 | 0.48 | bottom 48% in Georgia; bottom 28% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 54.5 | 44.5 | 42.9 | bottom 32% in Georgia; bottom 29% 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 3.27, RN 0.36, weekend 2.93. Staffing rating: 1/5.
