In Highlands and within 20 miles
How to read this table: "Overall" is the CMS star rating, which combines inspections, staffing, and self-reported quality measures; "Inspection" is the on-site health inspection rating — the most independent signal, and the one CMS grades on a curve against other facilities in the same state. Flags are federal abuse citations and Special Focus status.
| Facility | Location | Overall | Inspection | Staffing | Flags | Fines (3y) | Beds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eckerd Living Center | Highlands | ★★★★★ | 4/5 | 5/5 | — | 80 | |
| Macon Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center | Franklin, NC · 15.1 mi | ★★☆☆☆ | 2/5 | 3/5 | abuse | — | 200 |
| Mountain View Health Care | Clayton, GA · 18.3 mi | ★☆☆☆☆ | 1/5 | 1/5 | abuse | — | 117 |
