Healthcare At College Park runs 100 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its last inspection came in August 2024. The record shows 18 deficiencies, none of them rising to actual harm or jeopardy, but one is abuse-related, that's the kind of flag that matters more than the total count. Staffing is where this home really trails, sitting at 1 out of 5 stars against the national average. Inspection results land at 2 stars. So you've got a building that isn't failing outright on the harm scale but is thin on direct care hours, which tends to shape daily life more than any single survey finding. Ask about weekend and night staffing before you decide.

Smith Medical Nursing Care Ctr runs on 2.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing doesn't drop off from its weekday level, so coverage stays even, but even coverage of a thin schedule is still thin. Turnover sits at 45.9%, almost exactly the national rate, and the home carries 32 deficiencies on its current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was in August 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection results are where the trouble shows.

Evergreen Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 100 beds in Rome under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers describe a home that's adequate but stretched. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 27% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets depends heavily on which day they need it. Turnover at 33.3% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some consistency in who's showing up. Ten deficiencies on record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. The quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 is the number worth asking about directly.

4Angels Of Byromville Healthcare Center just came through a recent inspection with a clean record on serious issues, 8 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and nothing abuse-related. That's a meaningful baseline. What worries me is the staffing side, where the federal star rating sits at the lowest mark, meaning nurse and aide hours per resident fall well below what CMS expects. The inspection side earned a 4 out of 5; staffing earned a 1. That gap between a solid inspection and thin day-to-day coverage is the whole story here, and it's worth asking what happens on a Tuesday afternoon, not just what a surveyor found in one week.

Hill Haven runs lean on direct care: 3.24 nurse hours per resident day is roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 14 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin weekend coverage is worth asking about, since it's when families often visit and when problems can go unnoticed. Inspections tell a mixed story, a recent visit in March 2026 and no deficiency at the harm level, which matters, but 17 deficiencies on the current record with 7 tied to abuse is a lot to carry. The single fine of $4,194 is modest, and the for-profit LLC ownership is common in Georgia. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how those abuse-related findings were resolved.

Eastman Trails of Journey runs 100 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. That thin margin shows up in the federal staffing rating, which lands at the lowest tier, and in turnover that runs 50% against a national 45.8%, aides and nurses cycling out faster than average. The inspection record is cleaner: 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last survey in February 2026. Quality measures score well above staffing. The gap between good clinical numbers and thin daily coverage is what a family should weigh.

Madison Health and Rehab runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem here isn't churn so much as thin daily coverage. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in May 2025. With 67 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, the staffing numbers are what drag this one down, not the inspection history.

McRae Manor runs 133 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability owner, and its staffing sits at 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 30.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here stick around longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff shows up in the government's inspection scores, where the home earns 2 of 5 stars, and in quality measures at 1 of 5. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $8,697. The last inspection was December 4, 2025.

The inspection record here is genuinely strong, 5 out of 5 stars, just two deficiencies on the books, and a survey from May 2025. But the day-to-day picture is thinner than that suggests. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 13% below the home's own weekday level. One of those two deficiencies is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Turnover at 32.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. A for-profit partnership in rural Burke County, 64 beds. Worth a visit on a weekend.

Memorial Manor is a 107-bed home run by a hospital district, so it answers to a public board rather than a chain or a private owner. The staffing picture is the weak spot: Medicare rates it in the bottom tier for nurse coverage, well below what the average Georgia nursing home provides per resident day. The 19 deficiencies on the current record include two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy at the last inspection in May 2025. Quality measures also land below average. In short, this is a home where the clinical numbers, not the inspection record, are what a family should be asking hard questions about.

Bryan County Health & Rehab Center runs 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here, though weekend coverage dips roughly 5% below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 48.8% tops the national rate of 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 1, 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.

Harborview Health Systems Thomaston runs 119 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day, about 18 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 15 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 34.6 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, a real point in its favor. On the inspection side, the record shows 27 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. State inspectors were last on site in July 2025. Quality and staffing star ratings both come in at 2 out of 5.

Quiet Oaks runs lean on nurses: 3.35 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is where it stands out, at 27.3% versus 45.8% nationally, staff tend to stay. The 12 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and a February 2026 inspection is recent. Quality measures score low, though, so the clinical picture doesn't match the clean inspection record. For-profit corporate ownership, 61 beds, and thin daily staffing are the facts to weigh against that steady workforce.

Sadie G. Mays Health & Rehabilitation Center is a 206-bed nonprofit home in Atlanta, and the federal numbers on it are hard to dress up. Its last inspection in December 2025 left 40 deficiencies on the record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and six involving abuse, that's a lot of serious findings for one building, and the staffing rating of one out of five suggests there may not be enough hands to fix them. The single fine on file, just under $54,000, is modest next to the deficiency count, but the pattern matters more than the dollar figure. Quality measures score a middling three, but good clinical numbers don't mean much if a home is struggling with safety and supervision.

Chatuge Regional runs a nonprofit shop in Hiawassee with 112 certified beds, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.3%, slightly above the national figure, and the inspection record is the real concern: 33 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, six abuse-related, and one fine of $64,214 from a December 2025 inspection. The quality measure score is as low as it gets.

Mesun runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 42.1%, a little better than the 45.8% norm, though the current record carries 31 deficiencies, 8 of them abuse-related, with no harm-level findings and one fine of $4,017. The last inspection was November 2025, so the record is fresh. Health inspection and quality measure ratings both land at 2 out of 5, staffing at 3. For-profit individual ownership in Lawrenceville. The C reflects a home where staffing holds near average but the inspection and quality picture pulls it down.

Ridgewood Manor runs a non-profit shop with 102 beds in Dalton, and the inspection record is the strongest part of the story: 11 deficiencies on file, none involving harm or jeopardy to residents, none abuse-related, and a survey completed as recently as May 2026. Where it gets thinner is daily coverage. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 22 percent below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover of 63.9 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters most for whether residents see the same faces week to week. A clean inspection history and steady aide turnover rarely arrive together, here, they don't.

Thomson Health and Rehabilitation runs 3.41 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 15 percent below its own weekday staffing. That matters because 150 beds is a lot of residents to cover when the schedule thins out. The home carries 17 deficiencies on its current record, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in February 2026. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company, and turnover sits at 46.7 percent, essentially the national average of 45.8 percent, so this isn't a retention crisis so much as steady churn. The staffing and quality measures both score 2 out of 5.

Turnover lands at 36.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, a rare bright spot. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026, so the record is fresh. What pulls the overall picture down is the split in CMS ratings: a 4/5 on health inspections against just 1/5 on quality measures and 2/5 on staffing.

Westwood runs leaner than most homes on nursing hours, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop further below its own weekday level. That thin coverage matters more when you look at the record: 15 deficiencies on file, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the last full inspection was in May 2025. The 47.9% turnover rate sits slightly above the national figure, so the aides and nurses working with your family member may not be the same faces month to month. The low quality measure score suggests the clinical outcomes being tracked aren't where they should be. Worth asking the administrator directly how they cover a weekend callout.
