Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Georgia, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
12 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
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.
Riverview runs about 284 beds in Savannah, and the numbers show a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 15 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. That shows up in the inspection record: 27 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and a $92,794 fine. Staff turnover at 45.7 percent is essentially the national rate, so this isn't a retention crisis; it's a coverage one. The most recent inspection was March 2026.
Archbold Living Camilla is owned by Mitchell County, and that government status hasn't shielded it from scrutiny: CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems. The inspection record backs that up, 39 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating. Staffing tells a different story, at four stars, though the 3.16 nurse hours per resident day still falls about 18% under the national average, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 48.7%, above the national rate.
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.
Harborview Thomasville runs 68 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, with weekends roughly 16% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover of 47.5% edges past the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 28 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $23,074, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. CMS gave it one star for health inspections and two for staffing, though quality measures scored three. If you're weighing this one, those harm-level and abuse-related findings deserve direct questions before anything else.
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.
Hazelhurst Court runs on 2.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 21 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, which is why CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program. Staff turnover, at 45 percent, sits right about where the national average does, so the problem here isn't retention so much as raw coverage and a documented pattern of care failures. The most recent inspection was March 29, 2026.
Folkston Park runs on 3.02 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still. That shortfall shows up in the numbers CMS keeps: 60% annual staff turnover against a 45.8% national average, and 26 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, including one abuse-related finding. The federal government has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at one out of five. It's currently for-profit corporate-owned, with 92 certified beds.
The nurse staffing numbers at this 200-bed Brunswick home are where I'd start: 3.04 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Annual turnover of 66.4% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care change often. Inspectors have cited 38 deficiencies, six of them at the level where harm or jeopardy to a resident occurred and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $16,801 on record. The most recent inspection was July 29, 2025. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 looks strong on paper, but the staffing and inspection results point a different direction, and that gap is worth asking about directly.
Nurse staffing at The Woods at Sparta runs 3.00 hours per resident day, about 22 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 22 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. That thin margin shows up in the numbers: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $13,325. Staff turnover sits at 51.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people providing care keep changing. The last inspection was December 11, 2025, and the federal ratings land at 2 stars for health inspections and 1 star each for quality measures and staffing. It's a for-profit corporation operating 71 certified beds. If you're considering this one, ask directly how they cover weekends and what's changed since that December inspection.
Carrollton Crossing runs on 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 100%, roughly double the national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are largely new or on their way out. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and a 1/5 on quality measures. Fines so far total $3,728, which is modest, but the last inspection was April 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and how long current staff have actually been on the floor.
The numbers at Woodstock Center are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run thinner still, about 8% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 63.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, fairly new to the building.
Its current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. CMS gave it 2 out of 5 stars on health inspections and 1 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so that record is current, not stale.
Nurse staffing at Lake City Center runs 2.84 hours per resident day, roughly 27 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 9 percent below its own weekday level. Turning over more than half its nursing staff in a year, 56.6 percent against a national 45.8, makes consistency harder to maintain. The building carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, none reaching harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was April 19, 2026. A 242-bed for-profit LLC, it earned 1 of 5 stars from CMS on both staffing and quality measures, 2 of 5 on health inspections. That combination of thin coverage and high turnover is what families should weigh.
Heardmont Health And Rehabilitation is a for-profit LLC home in Elberton with 60 certified beds, and its record is one of the more serious in the federal data. Twenty-eight deficiencies are on file, seven of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, which is why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends run about 20% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 48.9% tops the national rate, and the single fine on record is $170,259. The most recent inspection was November 18, 2025.
Berrien Oaks runs about 2.93 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends are thinner still. Staff turnover sits near 73%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The 14 deficiencies on record include none flagged as causing harm and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in April 2025, so the record is current. Still, all three CMS star ratings land at the low end: two for health inspections, one for quality measures, one for staffing. It's a for-profit LLC with 108 certified beds.
Etowah Landing runs 100 beds in Rome under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is consistency: weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 64.3% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people covering those shifts are often new. Inspectors logged 16 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with one fine totaling $88,205. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Nothing on the record involves abuse, but four harm-level findings plus thin weekend coverage is the pattern worth asking about directly when you tour.
Jasper Point of Journey runs 60 beds in Pickens County under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers on the clinical side are thin. Nurses provide 3.21 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 10% below what the home already staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 71.7% versus 45.8% nationally, which means most of the aides you meet will likely be gone within a year. Inspectors have logged 29 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and cited the home most recently in November 2025. No abuse deficiencies appear on the record.
