How non-profit Medicaid-certified homes in Georgia compare
This group set against every nursing home in Georgia, from the current CMS release.
Cherry Blossom Health and Rehabilitation runs 82 certified beds in Macon under nonprofit ownership. Its last inspection was in March 2026 and turned up 21 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover hits 60.9% against a national 45.8%, nearly a third higher. Inspections came back mid-range while quality measures scored well above it; staffing is the weak spot. High turnover and thin weekend coverage are the numbers worth asking about directly.
Autumn Lane runs about 3.50 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national figure, so retention isn't the problem here, day-to-day coverage is. The inspection record is the stronger part: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in May 2025, with 12 deficiencies on file but none at the harm level and none abuse-related. As a nonprofit, it isn't managing to a quarterly earnings target, which may explain the clean inspection history alongside the thin weekend staffing.
Waycross Health and Rehabilitation runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 47.8%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is genuinely strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating with the most recent survey in May 2026, and only 7 deficiencies, none tied to abuse, though one rose to the harm level. Quality measures are where it slips, at 2/5. A non-profit with clean surveys but modest bedside hours and weak clinical measures is worth a visit, ask about weekend coverage specifically.
Chelsey Park runs a clean building, four deficiencies on its current record, none causing harm, and a five-star inspection history as recent as April 2026. That part's real, and it matters. What pulls the grade down is the day-to-day coverage. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident, staffing sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover of 53.8% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the national 45.8%. A nonprofit operator with a strong survey record is a good sign; the question is whether enough consistent hands are there between inspections.
Magnolia Manor of Columbus West runs 166 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average. That's a real strength, but weekends dip roughly 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday may be thinner than the weekday numbers suggest. Staff turnover is 56.9%, well above the 45.8% national average, which matters for whether your family member sees the same faces. The inspection record carries four deficiencies, all at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus a $34,431 fine. The most recent inspection was December 2025.
Winthrop Health And Rehabilitation runs 80 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a clean four-star health inspection rating and a survey completed in September 2025. The staffing side is where questions start. At 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16 percent below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 55.3 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure. Then there's the current deficiency record: 18 total, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse.
Ansley Park runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection record with just four deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm, and no abuse findings. That's genuinely hard to do. The problem sits elsewhere. Staffing hours come in slightly under the national average, weekends run noticeably thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 63.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member this year probably won't be there next year. Quality measures land at two stars, which suggests the day-to-day outcomes aren't keeping pace with how clean the paperwork looks. Clean inspections, shaky consistency.
Heritage Inn Of Barnesville runs a 117-bed nonprofit home in Lamar County, and its inspection record is genuinely its strongest suit: the most recent visit came in April 2025, with 14 deficiencies on file and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Staffing is where the picture shifts. At 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits roughly a quarter below the national average, weekends drop about 10% further from its own weekday level, and turnover near 47% means the aides and nurses caring for residents are frequently new to the building. Four abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record. For families weighing a move here, the practical question is whether the caregiving hours per resident are enough on a Sunday afternoon.
Bolingreen runs lean on nursing hours, 3.47 per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and the gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 17 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 56.9 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for your family member are changing often. Inspections turned up 19 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and the health and quality ratings both come in at 2 out of 5. The nonprofit ownership and the absence of abuse citations are genuine positives. But staffing consistency and inspection history are the two things to press hardest on when you visit.
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.
Wynfield Park runs 186 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters most when families visit less and residents need more hands. Staff turnover is 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. On the inspection side, 11 deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four are abuse-related, and the last inspection was June 2025. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the number worth asking the administrator about directly.
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.
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.
Four County runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection record with just three deficiencies, none causing harm and no abuse findings, and the most recent survey was in May 2025. That part is genuinely clean. The staffing side is where it frays: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 21% below the home's own weekday coverage, and 57.3% annual turnover means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. For a family weighing this one, the question isn't whether care is unsafe, the record says it isn't, it's whether the people providing it stay long enough to know your parent.
Chaplinwood runs leaner than most homes on nursing hours, about 3.36 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 46.3%, essentially tracking the national rate, so this isn't a retention crisis so much as a coverage one. The current inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with $7,901 in fines. The most recent survey was June 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, but that structure hasn't translated into stronger staffing or quality scores here.
Southland Health and Rehabilitation runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.29 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 15 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is where it separates itself, at 23 percent against a national 45.8, so the people who are there tend to stay. But its inspection record is the real story: 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in August 2025. Quality measures score well; the hands-on care and the survey history are what pull the overall picture down.
Orchard Health And Rehabilitation runs 89 certified beds in Pulaski as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 14% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is genuinely better than most: 30% against a national 45.8%. The problem isn't the workforce, it's the record. Seven deficiencies are on file, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $57,161 fine. The last inspection was April 2025. Staffing and quality measures both land mid-range at three stars, but that inspection history is what drags the overall picture down. Ask about those abuse-related findings specifically before you visit.
Avalon Health and Rehabilitation runs 90 certified beds in Newnan under nonprofit ownership, and its strongest signal is consistency on the clinical side, staff turnover sits at 36.1% against a national average of 45.8%, and six deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level is a relatively clean inspection history, verified as recently as April 2025. The tradeoff is time at the bedside: 3.49 nurse hours per resident day lands about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level. The abuse-related deficiency and $3,728 fine are worth asking about directly, but the quality measure rating is the number that stands out most, one out of five against a four-out-of-five inspection score suggests the day-to-day care metrics aren't keeping pace with how the building is run.
Crisp Regional runs 143 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.41 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly another 12% below its own weekday levels. 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.
Archway runs on 3.41 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover matches the national rate almost exactly, so the problem isn't a churning workforce, it's thin staffing that gets thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out most is the inspection record: 11 deficiencies, two of them harm-level and three tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. The last survey was August 2024, so that record is recent, not stale. Quality measures and staffing each score a middling 3, meaning the day-to-day numbers aren't the red flag. The safety and compliance history is.
