Quality ratings
On Care Compare (data as of April 2026), the overall star is a roll-up of three separately tracked sub-ratings: health inspection, staffing, and quality measures. The comparison chart below shows where each one sits relative to Georgia.
What each sub-rating measures

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.

Same-ownership peers
Within Georgia, Spring Harbor at Green Island is one of 54 non profit - other nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the non profit - other-segment average of 3.5 stars, ahead of roughly 44% of same-ownership peers in the state.
