It operates under the PruittHealth corporate network and can be reached by phone at (706) 778-8377. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated using three component categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Pruitthealth - Scenic View earned a 5-star rating in health inspections, the highest possible score in that category, reflecting a strong performance in state and federal inspection processes. The staffing rating is 1 out of 5 stars, the lowest possible score, indicating staffing levels that fall below national benchmarks. This component measures nurse staffing hours per resident per day, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. The quality measure rating is 3 out of 5 stars, which aligns with the national average and reflects clinical outcome data across a range of resident health indicators. Pruitthealth - Scenic View is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification means the facility may serve residents who qualify for federal Medicare coverage, typically associated with short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation needs, as well as residents whose long-term care costs are covered through Georgia Medicaid. Individuals and families seeking placement should confirm current bed availability and specific coverage details directly with the facility's admissions staff. When compared to national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. The overall 4-star rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars, and its 5-star health inspection result is a notable strength in that dimension. However, the 1-star staffing rating is a significant deviation below the national average and may be a relevant consideration for those evaluating care environments where staffing levels are a priority. The 3-star quality measure rating is consistent with national norms. This combination of ratings provides a detailed picture of the facility's performance across multiple dimensions of nursing home care as measured by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
