    Kind staff but poor care

    I want to praise the staff-nurses, aides and therapists were consistently kind, attentive and helpful. Unfortunately the building is old and poorly cared for (urine odor, stained/dirty furniture, filthy baseboards, dead roach, water damage, poor lighting) and I witnessed lapses in care (missed baths/meals and an aspiration that sent my relative back to the hospital). Because of the cleanliness and care issues I cannot recommend this facility, even though the staff and therapy were excellent.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed, with a clear divide between praise for individual caregivers and significant concern about the facility environment, consistency of nursing care, and infection/safety risks. Multiple reviewers repeatedly call out the staff — nurses, aides and therapists — as a strong point, describing them as friendly, kind, attentive, and willing to help residents and families. Therapy services (speech and physical therapy) receive positive mentions, and some family members explicitly state they feel comfortable with the care and would recommend the facility. New leadership (an Administrator and Director of Nursing) and a named Director (Erica) are cited as positive developments by reviewers who feel the building and care “have come a long way.” A social worker’s assistance at discharge was also positively noted.

    At the same time, a number of reviews raise serious concerns about the physical environment and hygiene standards. The building is described as outdated and poorly cared for, with multiple specific cleanliness issues: persistent urine odor, dirty and stained furniture, filthy baseboards, dirty blinds, visible water damage, poor lighting, and even a dead cockroach found in a resident room. These environmental deficiencies contribute to an impression of neglect and raise legitimate concerns about infection control and resident comfort.

    Care quality appears inconsistent. While therapy staff and some agency nurses are praised, other reviewers report worrying lapses in basic nursing care: residents reportedly were not bathed, had unchanged clothing for days, and were left without feeding assistance when needed (food trays left on the floor or unattended for hours). One reviewer reported aspiration pneumonia severe enough to require hospital transfer, which suggests a potential risk related to feeding or swallowing management and highlights a serious safety outcome cited in the reviews.

    Perceptions of management and professionalism are mixed. Several reviewers praise administrative visibility and responsiveness, noting regular checks on patients and accessibility of specific leaders. Conversely, other reviews describe an uncaring administrator and nonprofessional or rude staff, indicating uneven leadership or variability in staff behavior. Dependence on agency staff is mentioned; while some agency nurses provided good care, reliance on temporary staff could contribute to inconsistent standards and communication.

    Taken together, the reviews reveal a facility with clear strengths in staff compassion and therapy programming but with persistent and significant weaknesses in facility maintenance, cleanliness, and consistent nursing care. The most frequently noted themes are the dichotomy between caring individual staff members and systemic problems (dirty environment, inconsistent hygiene and feeding assistance), plus the safety concern exemplified by an aspiration pneumonia readmission. Families considering this facility should weigh the positive interpersonal care and therapy outcomes against documented environmental and safety issues and the variability in management responsiveness reported across reviewers.

    About 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.
