How chain-owned homes in Georgia compare
This group set against every nursing home in Georgia, from the current CMS release.
Pruitthealth - Scenic View runs 148 certified beds in Baldwin under corporate, for-profit ownership. The staffing numbers are the real story here: 2.67 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 31 percent below. Weekends drop another 11 percent below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 36.7 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem isn't churn so much as how few hands are scheduled in the first place. Inspections are a strength: a five-star health inspection rating, ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was August 2025. Quality measures and staffing each earned two stars, and that gap between a clean inspection record and thin daily coverage is what pulls the overall picture down.
Thomasville Vistas of Journey is a 52-bed for-profit home in Thomas County, and the numbers suggest a place with persistent compliance problems. Thirty-six deficiencies sit on its current record, including two tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, that's not a paperwork issue, that's resident safety. Staff turnover runs about 52%, higher than the 46% national average, so the people caring for your family member are cycling through faster than most. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current, and a $10,730 fine is on file. With 2/5 on both health inspections and quality measures, this one warrants close questions before you commit.
Haralson Nsg & Rehab Center runs 120 certified beds in Bremen under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing: 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 6% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 61.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member last year probably don't work there now. The inspection record is heavy, 30 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $8,948 fine, though the most recent survey was September 2025. Quality measures score mid-range; staffing and inspections don't.
Hartwell Health And Rehabilitation runs 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 60.7% against a national 45.8%, which matters because residents see a rotating cast rather than familiar faces. The 14 deficiencies on file include one tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. As a nonprofit with 92 beds, it isn't chasing shareholder returns, but the staffing and quality measure scores both land at 2 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and how they retain aides.
Cedar Valley is a for-profit LLC home with 100 beds in Cedartown, and its last inspection was recent, August 2025, with just three deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. That inspection history is genuinely strong.
The staffing side tells a different story. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 7% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday staffing. Annual turnover sits at 58.4% against a national 45.8%, which means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year.
So you have a home that inspects well but runs lean and churns staff. Ask specifically who's on the floor on weekends.
Bryant Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on about 2.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and CMS gives it the lowest possible staffing rating because of that gap. Weekend coverage slips slightly below its own weekday numbers, and half the nursing staff turned over in the past year, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the bright spot: four stars, five deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey as recent as April 2025. Quality measures sit at two stars, so the clinical tracking numbers don't match the clean inspection sheet. Limited liability ownership, 75 beds.
Dawson Health and Rehabilitation is a 60-bed nonprofit home in Terrell County, and the numbers that stand out aren't the staffing ones, 3.34 nurse hours per resident day is roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% lighter than weekdays, but turnover at 45.1% actually tracks close to the national figure. What should give you pause is the inspection record: 17 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a single fine of $121,401. The most recent inspection was March 2026. When a home stacks up that many problems against below-average staffing, the question isn't whether care can be good on a given shift, it's whether it's reliable.
Lillian Carter Health Center By Harborview runs a hundred certified beds in Plains, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows. At 2.98 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 19% below its own weekday levels, a one-star CMS staffing rating reflects that gap. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was September 2025. Quality and health inspection ratings both land mid-range at three stars. The for-profit LLC structure and thin licensed-nurse hours are worth asking about directly before you decide.
River Brook runs lean on nursing hours, 3.20 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled. The inspection record is where it gets serious: 19 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $16,720 in fines. Two CMS star ratings sit at 1 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was September 2025, recent enough to reflect current conditions, not old history.
Pruitthealth - Toccoa runs 181 certified beds in Stephens County under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which lands at 1 out of 5. Turnover is 45.1%, essentially matching the national figure of 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, raw hours are. The current record carries 26 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors last visited in March 2024.
Pruitthealth - Moultrie runs 68 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 18% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the national 45.8%. Inspections tell a different story, a recent May 2025 survey and only four deficiencies on record, none at harm level and none abuse-related. The quality measure star rating of 2 out of 5 is the piece to ask about directly, since it reflects clinical outcomes rather than paperwork. A facility can pass inspection cleanly and still have thin coverage on Saturdays.
Brown's Health And Rehabilitation runs 63 beds in Statesboro under limited-liability, for-profit ownership. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a four-star health inspection rating and a recent survey, though 13 deficiencies are on file, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level. Staffing is where it slips, 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping roughly 19% below weekdays and turnover at 52.9% against a 45.8% national figure. The one-star quality measure rating points the same direction. Two fines totaling $8,678. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how long direct-care staff tend to stay.
Brown Health and Rehabilitation runs on leaner nursing hours than most homes in the country, about 3.28 hours per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping roughly 12% below what the building staffs during the week. That gap matters when a family is deciding whether Saturday and Sunday care looks like Tuesday care.
The inspection record is the stronger part of the story: a recent survey in September 2025, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating. But 17 total deficiencies sit on the record, two of them abuse-related, and the quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 lags the inspection results. Staff turnover at 47.3% runs a bit above the national average, which fits a home where the clinical numbers and the survey numbers don't tell the same story.
Cherokee Center for Nursing and Healing runs a 100-bed for-profit home in Canton, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 2.95 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday coverage. That shortfall shows up in a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating, a 52.6% annual turnover rate, and 31 deficiencies on the current record, six of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse. A single fine of $185,650 and a place in CMS's Special Focus Facility program follow from that pattern, despite strong quality-measure scores.
Spalding Post Acute runs 148 certified beds in Griffin under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to know: 3.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 13% thinner than weekdays already are. Annual turnover of 56.3% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Inspections have cited 31 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level as of the March 2026 survey. CMS gives the quality measures 3 of 5 stars while staffing lands at 1, which is where the gap between what's measured and who's present shows up.
Tucker Park Crossing runs 144 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.77 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels, and 60% of staff turn over each year against a national rate near 46%. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, with a single fine of $47,466 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5; quality measures score better at 3. The last inspection was January 30, 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and how long direct-care staff tend to stay before you tour.
Stone Mountain Run of Journey runs 149 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which is the one number here that isn't working against it. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation. Three stars on health inspections, and one star each on quality measures and staffing. The last inspection was May 7, 2026.
Mountain View Health Care runs 117 certified beds in Clayton under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a consistent story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.08 hours per resident day, about 20 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 13 percent below what the home itself provides on weekdays, meaning coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 37 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with CMS giving the home its lowest mark across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike. Staff turnover, at 36.1 percent, is actually better than the national 45.8 percent, which is the one bright spot here.
Medical Management Health and Rehab Center runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.88 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday floor. The inspection record adds weight, 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $41,316 fine and a two-out-of-five health inspection rating. Staff turnover at 41.7% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the weak point here; coverage is. The last inspection came in April 2026, and this for-profit corporation's record puts it among the lower-rated homes in the Macon area.
Pruitthealth - Macon runs 228 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble sits. At 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday level, that's when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover at 41.9% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but the health inspection and quality measure ratings both sit at 2 out of 5, with staffing at 1. The 25 deficiencies on record include none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.
