PruittHealth - Spring Valley sits in Elberton, Georgia, and offers nursing care for up to 60 residents, usually having about 48 people living there each day, and it's run by PruittHealth Inc., which has managed the place since 2007 with Neil Pruitt in a management role. The community provides different levels of care like skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation, as well as short-term and long-term services, and has both studio and semi-private rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, and air conditioning, which many families find convenient. Residents needing assistance receive help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers, with a 24-hour call system in place, 12-16 hours of nursing care each day, and around-the-clock supervision, though the number of nurse staffing hours per resident falls a bit below the state average, recording 3.24 hours compared to the average 3.5. The community has a lower nurse turnover-about 33.3% a year-compared to the state's 48.8%, which some families may see as a positive sign of stability, but inspection records show 12 deficiencies, including two infection-related and some issues with quality of life and resident rights, like not always informing families or doctors about situations affecting residents and sometimes not providing enough support with daily activities or meals.
Amenities cover arts and crafts, games, a library, a fitness room, a spa and sauna, and even a movie theater, and the property features outdoor walking paths, gardens, and common areas, plus programs and activities, some led by residents or local groups, which helps many people feel part of a community. Meals are served restaurant-style in a community dining room, and diets can be adjusted for allergies or diabetes, but inspection histories suggest concerns about meeting food and fluid needs for health, so it's important for families to ask about meal quality during visits. The community accepts Medicare and Medicaid, offering different financial options, and it serves both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents, including those with disabilities or more complex health conditions, with rehabilitation and hospice care also available. There's Wi-Fi, phones in rooms, and regular updates for families, and staff can help with moving in and other support services.
Some families may look at the community's average 7.9 out of 10 rating and note that it's considered the top-rated out of three in Elberton, but inspection reports and past deficiencies-particularly those involving infection control and communication with families-should be part of any decision. PruittHealth - Spring Valley belongs to a larger network of care homes, offering different support services like home health, therapy, infusion services, pharmacy, and medical supply, and the team emphasizes a focus on quality and compassionate care, even as inspection records outline where the facility has faced challenges. Prospective residents or families can schedule tours, meet the staff and residents, and ask about specific care routines, meal plans, and any improvements since past citations. The facility is one option among many for families looking for skilled nursing, assisted living, or longer-term care in the Elberton area, and it works to provide supportive living tailored to varied health needs.
