PruittHealth - Eastside

PruittHealth - Eastside is a nursing home with 90 certified beds, and the daily census shows about 73 residents each day, so it's not the biggest place, but with skilled nursing services, rehabilitation therapy, and a special focus on dementia and palliative care, the facility covers many important care needs for seniors, and families can look into long-term care, respite care, or hospice care depending on the situation. The center's staff handle physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and the facility provides memory care for people living with dementia, taking steps to make everyone feel comfortable in a home-like environment that puts residents' happiness and well-being at the center, with outdoor spaces and social programs available. They've got a team who build personalized care plans and there's a commitment toward comfort, even offering help with things like recovery after strokes, treatments for vascular diseases, or deep vein thrombosis using a vascular lab and options for infusion services, pharmacy help, and medical supplies. The staff are considered experienced and the nurse turnover rate is noticeably lower than the Georgia state average, but the total nurse staffing level sits below the state average, so that's something families may want to be aware of, and while the place is managed by Neil Pruitt with United Health Services of Georgia, Inc., as the major owner, reports show a dedication to high-quality care, although recent inspections, including one from September 2024, have cited several deficiencies-there were 24 in total, with five on the recent visit, including issues with infection control and nutrition, like not always providing enough food and fluids to maintain residents' health, and not always having proper food handling or consistent infection prevention. The outdoor areas are kept up, and they try to make the environment as comforting as possible, but the inspection reports might be important to review for anyone considering this facility, especially since they mention areas where improvements are still needed. The place also connects residents with a variety of healthcare services under the PruittHealth network, like home health and therapy services, home-first programs, and both inpatient and outpatient noninvasive testing for people with vascular diseases, so folks can find different solutions for complex needs, but it's important to understand both the strengths and the areas where the facility has had problems in quality of care.
