Nursing homes across Fulton County, Georgia, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Staffing is the real story at Terraces at Peachtree Hills Place: 7.90 nurse hours per resident day is more than double the national average of 3.86, and that coverage holds steady on weekends rather than thinning out the way it often does elsewhere. Turnover sits at 24.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care tend to stick around. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in May 2026. For a 25-bed for-profit LLC, the weak spot is quality measures at 3 out of 5 stars, not the hands-on care.
Nurse staffing here runs 4.71 hours per resident day, about 22 percent above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11 percent below its own weekday levels, so cover is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, two of which involved harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in December 2024. Staff turnover sits at 54 percent, above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning roughly half the caregiver workforce turns over in a year. As a nonprofit, there's no owner profit to feed, but that doesn't erase the harm-level findings or the weekend gap.
A.G. Rhodes Home runs 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, December 2025, and the 3/5 health inspection rating alongside 4/5 quality measures suggests care outcomes are tracking better than the paperwork side. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation is typical for Georgia's older homes. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation before touring.
Christian City Rehabilitation Center runs 200 certified beds in Union City under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover runs 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so workers tend to stay longer here than at the typical home. Inspections in April 2025 turned up 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. Its quality measure scores are strong; the health inspection side is where it gives ground.
Pruitthealth - Fairburn runs 82 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, roughly 22% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 54.7% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family sees may change often. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in May 2025. Quality measures scored well, inspections did not.
Pruitthealth - West Atlanta runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, with weekends dropping about 19 percent below its own weekday levels. That thin weekend coverage matters because the inspection record is heavy, 42 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Turnover sits at 43.7 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled. The 4/5 quality measure score looks strong, but the 1/5 inspection rating from a September 2025 visit is the number families should weigh hardest.
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.
Fairburn Heights runs on 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 10% below what it manages on weekdays. You can see that thinness in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in a turnover rate of 48.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse and one at the harm level, though the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Quality measures score well, but that number reflects resident outcomes on paper, not how many hands are available when someone needs help.
Reliable Health & Rehab At Lakewood runs on 3.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the building staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 39.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue here isn't constant churn, it's raw coverage. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was April 30, 2026. With 100 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, the staffing numbers are the ones worth pressing on when you tour.
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.
Westminster Commons runs 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the weekly total, since weekends are when families often visit and when problems surface. Staff turnover sits at 61.4% against a national 45.8%, so many of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, none at harm level but seven tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $23,472; the last inspection was May 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 90 beds.
Fulton Center runs about 2.92 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 54.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses who know your mother may not be there in six months. The record shows 23 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, plus three abuse-related citations and a $105,368 fine. Quality measures score well; inspections and staffing do not. Ask the administrator directly who covers Saturday nights.
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.
Crestview runs 388 certified beds on 2.71 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 11% below the home's own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 58.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, and the ones who stay are stretched thin. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a pattern of serious problems. Its last inspection was June 5, 2025.
Perimeter Rehabilitation Suites By Harborview in Atlanta carries a record that should give any family pause. The 240-bed for-profit home has 60 deficiencies on file, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus a single CMS fine of $201,403. It's one of a small number of homes the federal government places in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the worst performers. Staffing sits at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and drops about 22% on weekends. Annual turnover of 55.4% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are often brand new to the job.
Bonterra runs on 2.96 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below what's typical nationally, and weekends dip another 9% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating, and with 60% of staff leaving each year versus about 46% nationally, you're looking at a building that's constantly replacing the people who know your family member. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, including 7 serious enough to put residents in harm's way and 3 tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $48,039. Ownership is a for-profit partnership, and the most recent inspection closed April 30, 2026.
Legacy Transitional Care & Rehabilitation runs 186 beds in Atlanta under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 2.97 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 56.1%, well above the national 45.8%. The inspection record backs up the concern, 41 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three abuse-related, and six fines totaling $121,894. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care.
Nurse Care of Buckhead is a 220-bed for-profit home in Atlanta that sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a persistent record of poor care. The inspection history explains why: 80 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Its last inspection was June 9, 2025.
Staffing is thin in a way that matters day to day. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident, it runs about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 67.8% means most of the people caring for residents are new to the building and still learning it.
Roswell Center for Nursing and Healing runs 268 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below what the home already provides on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 61.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. Inspectors have cited 24 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $206,486. No abuse citations appear on the current record.
