Georgia: CMS Rating Breakdown
Georgia is home to 356 CMS-certified nursing homes. According to current official CMS figures, these facilities carry an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.68 out of 5. The ownership structure breaks down to 246 for-profit facilities, 94 nonprofit facilities, and 16 government-operated homes.
The Five-Star rating system has documented limitations and should be understood as a broad indicator rather than a definitive assessment of individual facilities. A statewide average does not constitute a judgment on any particular home's quality or performance. When making decisions about nursing home care, individuals and families should consult the per-facility pages and each facility's live Care Compare profile to obtain detailed, facility-specific information. This analysis is not medical, financial, or 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.
