Georgia: CMS Rating Breakdown

Georgia operates 356 CMS-certified nursing homes across three ownership categories. The for-profit sector comprises 246 facilities, non-profit operators run 94, and government entities oversee 16 facilities. According to current CMS data, the state's nursing homes carry an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.68 out of 5.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance but carries documented limitations. State-level averages do not reflect the quality or performance of individual facilities and should not be used as a substitute for facility-specific evaluation. When making decisions about nursing home care, stakeholders should consult the per-facility pages and each facility's live Care Compare profile on the CMS website for detailed, current information. The Five-Star rating is neither medical, financial, nor legal advice.

How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
