What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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, one-off · Aug 6, 2023 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Aug 30, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Aug 6, 2023 · F-0609 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft to the proper authorities quickly enough, or did not report the results of its investigation.
Why it matters: When incidents aren't reported promptly, abusers may continue harming residents and outside authorities can't step in.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Aug 30, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Aug 6, 2023 · F-0656 · triggered by a complaint
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 (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Aug 30, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Aug 6, 2023 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Aug 30, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Aug 6, 2023 · F-0835 · triggered by a complaint
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 (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Aug 30, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Aug 6, 2023 · F-0842 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents' personal information or did not keep complete, accurate medical records that meet professional standards.
Why it matters: Incomplete or sloppy records can lead to care mistakes, and unprotected information violates residents' privacy.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |

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) | 2.86 | 3.54 | 3.95 | bottom 15% in Georgia; bottom 10% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.56 | 0.50 | 0.69 | top 34% in Georgia; bottom 46% 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) | 0.52 | 0.35 | 0.48 | top 14% in Georgia; top 31% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 51.5 | 46.0 | 45.8 | bottom 32% in Georgia; bottom 33% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 50.0 | 44.5 | 42.9 | bottom 42% in Georgia; bottom 39% 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 3.32, RN 0.65, weekend 2.93. Staffing rating: 1/5.
Self-reported quality measures
