Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Georgia

Georgia is home to 356 CMS-certified nursing homes appearing in the Care Compare directory, each holding an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.68 of 5 stars.

The state's nursing home listings present three separate ratings for each facility: an overall quality score, a health-inspection rating, and a staffing rating. These metrics provide a snapshot of performance across multiple dimensions of care delivery.

The Five-Star rating system functions as a relative quality measure with recognized limitations. The ratings shown reflect the state of facilities as of May 2026 and should not be interpreted as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. The Five-Star assessment represents one factor among many that warrant consideration when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the specific medical and care needs of the prospective resident, an in-person visit to the facility, and direct conversations with nursing home staff and clinical practitioners all play important roles in the selection process.

Prospective residents and their families should confirm each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making decisions based on the Five-Star assessment. Ratings may change, and the official Medicare portal provides the most up-to-date information available for individual homes.

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.
