Data insights
Quality ratings
CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026) puts Gordon Health and Rehabilitation's overall quality rating at 5 out of 5 stars, a composite of three sub-ratings: health inspection (5/5), staffing (2/5), and quality measures (2/5).
What each sub-rating measures
The health inspection rating reflects on-site surveyor findings from the last three cycles. The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Calhoun, Georgia, this facility operates 117 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 113 residents - an occupancy rate of about 97%. The facility is classified under non profit - other ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 97% occupancy, this facility is running near full capacity, worth confirming current bed availability directly before visiting.
Same-ownership peers
Within Georgia, Gordon Health and Rehabilitation is one of 54 non profit - other nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the non profit - other-segment average of 3.5 stars, ahead of roughly 78% of same-ownership peers in the state. Peer comparisons within the same ownership type are more apples-to-apples than a state-wide average, since for-profit, non-profit, and government operators tend to differ systematically in staffing and reinvestment.
Inspection record
On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented a limited number of deficiencies at this facility (3 total). CMS has levied no enforcement penalties over the equivalent window. A handful of documented findings is common even among well-run facilities; the F-tag scope and severity codes on the full report distinguish isolated paperwork issues from resident-harm findings.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
