What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5
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 · Aug 21, 2022 · F-0608
The facility did not have working policies to ensure employees report any suspected crime against a resident on time, to post notices of employees' reporting rights, and to prevent retaliation against staff who report.
Why it matters: If staff can't safely report suspected crimes, harm to residents may go unreported and unpunished.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Oct 12, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Aug 21, 2022 · F-0609
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 (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Oct 12, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Aug 21, 2022 · F-0610
The facility did not respond appropriately to alleged violations, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Facilities must investigate every allegation and protect residents while they do.
Why it matters: When allegations aren't investigated, harm to residents can continue unchecked.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Oct 12, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Aug 21, 2022 · 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: Oct 12, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Aug 21, 2022 · F-0600
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.

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) | 3.39 | 3.54 | 3.95 | bottom 48% in Georgia; bottom 31% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.36 | 0.50 | 0.69 | bottom 36% in Georgia; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.68 | 3.09 | 3.50 | bottom 28% in Georgia; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.20 | 0.35 | 0.48 | bottom 28% in Georgia; bottom 13% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 31.1 | 46.0 | 45.8 | top 12% in Georgia; top 16% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 27.3 | 44.5 | 42.9 | top 22% in Georgia; top 24% 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 3.54, RN 0.38, weekend 2.80. Staffing rating: 2/5.
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: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 4/5
