Eatonton Health & Rehabilitation

Eatonton Health & Rehabilitation Center sits at 125 Sparta Hwy. in Eatonton, Georgia, and offers a range of care for seniors, with certified beds for 104 people and around-the-clock nursing care, and while it provides assisted living, nursing home services, home care for help with daily chores or companionship, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, there have been some issues to note, like ten deficiencies in inspection reports, with two about infection control, and standard inspections in January 2024 brought up problems with following rules about infection prevention and food safety, including not keeping a strong infection control program and not always handling or getting food by professional standards, and there was also a noted failure to set up a program to watch antibiotic use, something that matters for infection control. While nurse turnover is a bit lower here than the state average - 37.8% to the state's 48.8% - and residents get a bit more nurse care each day than the state average, you'll find services focused on keeping people comfortable and safe, and staff can help with things like bathing or dressing, run regular housekeeping and laundry, provide two meals a day planned by chefs with attention to taste and nutrition, plus memory care meant to help those with dementia stay safer and less confused, and the center's managed by Clinical Services Inc since 2008 and is affiliated with Health Scholarships, Inc. There are general healthcare services, special therapies, a dedicated team of physicians, and an effort to meet privacy and non-discrimination needs, and while there's a virtual tour to see the facility and many care options as part of a broader senior community, it's important to note those listed deficiencies. Eatonton Health & Rehabilitation is focused on health and rehabilitation, aiming to provide a range of services, but some basic standards for infection and nutrition handling have shown up as areas for attention.
