How for-profit homes in Georgia compare
This group set against every nursing home in Georgia, from the current CMS release.
Glenvue Health & Rehab runs 160 certified beds in Glennville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with two fines totaling $4,893. Inspectors were last in on April 17, 2025. CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5 stars and quality measures 2 out of 5, which is where the real story lives, not in the inspection history.
Pruitthealth - Palmyra runs 250 certified beds in Albany, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what the home itself provides on weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection history is the heavier concern: 32 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $48,909 fine. Staff turnover of 47.9% runs slightly above the national rate, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. A for-profit LLC operates it, and the most recent inspection was November 2025.
Fort Valley Crossing runs 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 18% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger number is turnover: 70.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Its three CMS star ratings sit at 2 of 5, with 18 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. A December 2025 inspection is recent, so the picture is current, not stale. For-profit LLC ownership. Nothing here is alarming on paper, it's a home running leaner than average in both hours and consistency.
Senior Care Center - St Marys runs on 2.91 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national figure of 3.86, and its staffing star sits at 1 out of 5. Weekend coverage drops about 23% below its own weekday level, so the quietest shifts are also the thinnest. Annual turnover of 62.5% outpaces the national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, plus a $4,072 fine. The last inspection was November 2025, and quality measures score better than the inspection and staffing numbers do, 22 of those 21 deficiencies sit on the health side without immediate harm findings.
Bostick Nursing Center runs 280 certified beds in Milledgeville under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing number is the one to sit with: 0.46 total nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 88% below what nursing homes typically report. The 1-out-of-5 staffing star reflects it, and the quality measure star sits at 1 as well. Inspections tell a quieter story, a 3-out-of-5 health inspection rating in May 2024, with 18 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Weekend staffing doesn't drop below weekday levels. If you're considering this home, ask directly how 0.46 hours a day gets covered across three shifts.
Harborview Health Center Of Augusta runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.52 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the gaps show up on weekends, when coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level. The bigger concern is turnover: 63.8% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. Its inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach the harm level, and the most recent inspection was June 2025. Quality measures score 1 out of 5 and inspections 2 out of 5, so the pattern across staffing, state surveys, and clinical outcomes all points the same direction.
Nurse staffing at Altamaha Healthcare Center runs 2.78 hours per resident per day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the federal stars: one out of five for staffing, one for health inspections, two for quality measures. The inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $4,017 and the most recent inspection dated August 9, 2025. Annual turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, at a 62-bed for-profit corporate home.
Buchanan Healthcare Center runs 60 beds under corporate ownership, and its biggest problem shows up in the staffing numbers. At 2.89 nurse hours per resident each day, it sits about a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and turnover runs at 74.5%, well past the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level, so there's no surge to catch up.
The good news: 15 deficiencies on record, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in March 2025. So the care isn't dangerous on paper, it's thin. Quality and staffing star ratings both sit at 1/5, which tells you the shortfalls are consistent, not one bad month.
Jonesboro Center for Nursing and Healing runs 129 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 18% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which lands at 1 out of 5, while annual turnover hits 56.8% against a national 45.8%. Inspections tell a similar story: 23 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with three fines totaling $16,801 and the most recent inspection dated February 2026. No single finding is alarming on its own, it's the combination of light staffing and heavy turnover that families should weigh.
Wrightsville Manor runs on 3.31 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends are thinner still, about 12 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. That matters more than usual here, because the home's inspection record carries 18 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $74,208. Turnover sits at 40.9 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but it's the only number that reads favorably. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at one out of five.
Nancy Hart Operation runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes its size, 3.02 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 12 percent below its own weekday pace. That staffing pattern shows up alongside a 54.5 percent annual turnover rate, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The inspection record carries 28 deficiencies, three serious enough to cause harm and one tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $30,309 and a July 2025 inspection. This is a for-profit LLC with 67 beds, and families should ask directly how the home covers weekend shifts and what it has changed since that abuse finding.
Countryside Post Acute runs 62 beds in Buchanan, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The federal inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home once for $4,068. Its most recent inspection was in August 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures and health inspection each sit at two stars, staffing at one.
Canton Center runs on county government ownership, and the numbers show where that leaves residents. Nurse staffing sits at 3.06 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop another 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 59.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than residents can build familiarity with them. The current inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent survey was in August 2025. Quality measures score low, and staffing is the weakest piece of the federal picture here.
Buckhead Center for Nursing and Healing runs 179 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are about who's actually there to provide care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent below the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 15 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover hit 73.9 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, relatively new to the building. The inspection record backs that up: 41 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $29,354, with a CMS inspection rating of 1 out of 5.
Southland Healthcare and Rehab Center runs 126 certified beds in Dublin under for-profit partnership ownership, and the nursing hours tell a big part of the story: 3.37 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 13 percent below, with weekend coverage dipping about 15 percent under its own weekday level. The inspection record is harder to get past, 21 deficiencies currently on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $16,801. The most recent inspection was March 15, 2026, so the findings are recent, not stale. When staffing sits under the national mark and surveyors keep documenting serious problems, that combination is what families should weigh before deciding.
Pleasant View runs on 3.04 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home already provides on weekdays. That thin schedule helps explain 60% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 26 deficiencies on record, including three tied to abuse. The last inspection was January 2026, so the findings are recent rather than stale. A 3/5 inspection rating is the strongest mark here; the 1/5 quality measure and 1/5 staffing ratings show where the shortfalls sit. This is a 120-bed for-profit corporate home where the daily staffing math, not the inspection history, is the main concern.
University Nursing & Rehab Ctr runs on about 2.97 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below what the home already staffs during the week. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 74.1% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a one-star CMS staffing rating. Inspections tell a similar story, 25 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a two-star health inspection rating. The last survey was April 2025. This is a for-profit corporate home where the staffing math, not any single incident, is the main concern.
Glenwood Health And Rehabilitation is a 62-bed for-profit home in Wheeler County, and the numbers behind its rating are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, a pattern that matters most when families visit and when residents need help. Staff turnover is 63.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are often new or on their way out. The inspection record includes 19 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $7,901 fine, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026.
Savannah Post Acute runs 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip about 16% below its own weekday numbers, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 57.6% against a 45.8% national average, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The current record shows 37 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025. If you're weighing this one, ask how weekend coverage is actually scheduled and what the abuse-related citations involved.
Douglasville Center For Nursing And Healing runs 246 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers here deserve a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below what the home itself provides on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover hits 58.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $13,787 and a June 2025 inspection. Ask about weekend coverage and how they retain aides before deciding.
