As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Gordon Health and Rehabilitation accepts residents covered under the federal Medicare program as well as those who qualify for Georgia Medicaid. Individuals whose care needs and financial circumstances do not align with these public programs may wish to inquire directly with the facility regarding private pay arrangements or other accepted insurance coverage.

When compared to the national average overall rating of 3.0 stars, Gordon Health and Rehabilitation's overall 5-star rating reflects a standing above the midpoint on CMS measurement scales. However, the staffing and quality measure ratings, each at 2 stars, indicate areas where the facility performs below national norms. Prospective residents and their families may find it useful to review each of the individual CMS rating components alongside the overall rating to develop a more complete picture of facility performance. CMS updates these ratings periodically, and consulting the most recent data available through official government sources is advisable when making care decisions.
