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.
Blossom Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 143 certified beds in Macon under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers describe a home stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.01 hours per resident day, about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 70%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing daily care are cycling through fast. On its current record are 23 deficiencies, two tied to abuse; none reached the harm or jeopardy level. Federal ratings put inspection, quality measures, and staffing each at the bottom of the scale, and the last inspection came in January 2026.
The Reserve at Appling runs on 2.98 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 20% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits alongside a 58.5% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses cycling through are often new to the building. Its CMS ratings land at one star for staffing and one for quality measures, with a two-star inspection record, 25 deficiencies, and five fines totaling $19,321. Nothing on the current record rises to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. A for-profit LLC operation at 100 certified beds.
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.
Calhoun Crossing runs on 3.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage slips about 8% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 52.7% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses who know your mother's routines are often the ones walking out. Its record shows 34 deficiencies, four serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy and four tied to abuse, plus seven fines totaling $107,867. The last inspection was March 2026. State surveyors rated staffing and quality measures 1 out of 5 stars each.
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.
Pine Knoll Path of Journey runs 122 beds in Carrollton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, 11 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a survey as recent as April 2025. The problem is the floor. Nurses give 3.18 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Every single nursing position turned over last year, 100%, compared with about 45.8% nationally. A recent inspection tells you what a surveyor saw that day; it doesn't tell you who's left to answer a call light on a Sunday evening.
Jesup Ridge of Journey LLC runs 72 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 58.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the caregiver workforce turns over in a year. The current inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus a $45,968 fine. The most recent inspection was May 30, 2025.
Tybee Island Trails of Journey runs 50 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 1.74 hours per resident day, roughly 55% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 30% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are also the least supervised. Staff turnover is 69.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building.
The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated January 30, 2026. CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5 stars, health inspections and quality measures each 2 out of 5. If you're considering this home, ask directly how weekend coverage is staffed and how abuse allegations get reported and resolved.
Gold City Health And Rehab runs 102 certified beds in Dahlonega under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers from its current CMS record tell a fairly consistent story. Nurse staffing sits at 2.76 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, so care is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 61.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries 23 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, plus a $52,548 fine. Its last inspection was September 28, 2025, so the record is recent. Ask about direct-care hours on weekends before you decide.
Glenwood Health Center By Harborview runs 225 certified beds in Decatur under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to know: 2.75 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 29% below. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and 62.6% annual turnover means the people providing that care are constantly changing. The inspection record includes 40 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and five related to abuse, plus two fines totaling $13,043. Its most recent inspection was January 3, 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1 out of 5.
Bell Minor Home runs on 3.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers that matter: a one-out-of-five staffing rating, 31 deficiencies on the current record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, and one tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 82.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building and still learning it. Two fines totaling $74,979 are on file, and the last inspection was May 6, 2026. A for-profit partnership owns it. Ask about weekend coverage and how long aides have actually worked there before you decide.
Rosewood at Tybee Island carries a federal Special Focus Facility designation, which CMS reserves for the homes with the most persistent problems. The inspection record backs that up: 25 deficiencies, five of them at a level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 2.76 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 13% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover runs 78.4% a year, well above the 45.8% norm, so the people caring for your family member are likely new and likely leaving soon. One fine on record totals $200,733.
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.
Pinewood Health and Rehabilitation runs 2.79 nursing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 18% below its own weekday numbers, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The 63% annual turnover means most of the aides working there this year likely won't be there next year, which matters more than any single rating. On the federal record, there are 50 deficiencies, 11 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and $210,094 in fines. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the poorest performers. The most recent inspection was February 19, 2025.
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.
