Fort Gaines Health and Rehab

Fort Gaines Health and Rehab sits at 101 Hartford Rd W, Fort Gaines, GA, and holds 60 certified beds, taking care of folks who need either short-term rehab or long-term care, and the staff say they put wellness and enrichment high on their list, so you've got 24/7 skilled nursing care and plenty of therapy options like physical, occupational, speech, plus services for memory care, cardiac rehab, wound and respiratory care, and even hemodialysis, trach care, and IV antibiotics, so if a resident needs help with complex health conditions, they can usually set up a plan that fits what's required, no matter if it's palliative care, respite care, or help after a stroke or surgery, and that's made possible by a dedicated staff following what they call their CARES values, although, to be fair, inspection records from April 2025 and before show some real concerns, like failing to properly store, prep, and serve food as professional standards require, and failing to make sure food and drink were always safe and appealing, so they've been cited for nutrition and dietary issues twice, and infection control has had its share of problems too, with three specific infection deficiencies out of 25 total cited, still, nurse turnover runs at 34.1% which is lower than the state average, though nurse staffing hours are a bit less than average at 3.32 hours per resident each day, and as part of Mission Health Communities, residents can expect a mix of private and semi-private rooms, a dining room, hair salon, outdoor sitting spaces, social rooms, and wifi throughout, and you'll find staff that mostly speaks English with some able to help in other languages, and with monthly updates to provider lists, the range of care tends to cover most conditions, like cardiac or pulmonary rehab, sepsis care, tube feeding, and wound vacs, so both independent living and assisted living are options there, but the place isn't taking new patients right now, though they might offer more info if someone calls to ask about future openings, and they like to keep families and residents up to date through online platforms, including Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Threads, aiming to foster a sense of community, but families will want to pay close attention to the facility's history of deficiencies and talk openly about any concerns when considering care here.
