PRESBYTERIAN VILLAGE - ATHENS

Presbyterian Village - Athens is a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility located at 1400 Live Oak Lane, Building 100, in Athens, Georgia (ZIP code 30606). The facility operates under non-profit corporate ownership and maintains a certified bed capacity of 40 beds. It is situated in Oconee County and can be reached by phone at (706) 739-7690. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated using three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Presbyterian Village - Athens received a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5, indicating performance below the national average in this category. The staffing rating stands at 1 out of 5, the lowest tier on the CMS scale, reflecting staffing levels that are considerably below national norms. In contrast, the facility earned a quality measure rating of 5 out of 5, the highest possible rating in that category, which is based on clinical data points related to resident outcomes and care indicators. Regarding payment and insurance, Presbyterian Village - Athens is certified as a Medicare facility. Prospective residents and their families should contact the facility directly to confirm current acceptance of Medicaid, private pay arrangements, or other insurance options. Coverage eligibility and benefit determinations are made on an individual basis and are subject to the policies of the relevant payer programs. When viewed in the context of national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile across its three CMS rating components. The overall 2-star rating places it below the national average, driven in part by the 1-star staffing score, which is a notable area of difference from facilities that meet or exceed national staffing norms. However, the 5-star quality measure rating positions the facility among the highest-performing nursing homes in the country on that specific dimension. This combination of scores suggests that individuals reviewing the facility should consider each component independently, as the aggregate rating does not fully reflect the facility's strong performance on quality measures. The facility's 40-bed capacity makes it a smaller-scale provider relative to many nursing homes nationwide, which can be a relevant factor in care setting comparisons.
