Staffing in Georgia averages 3.65 nurse hours per resident per day (0.24 worse than the national average). Citations average 17.6 per home (12.7 better than the national average)— though citation counts reflect how aggressively a state's survey agency inspects, so they compare poorly across state lines.

Georgia homes listed with a CMS abuse icon

CMS applies this icon when a facility was cited for abuse-related deficiencies on a recent inspection. It is a serious signal, not a verdict — read the specific citations in the linked record and ask the administrator directly.

Largest federal penalties in Georgia

Civil monetary penalties follow serious deficiencies. A large fine history is a question to raise, not an automatic disqualification — some homes correct course, and the citations tell you which.
