LENBROOK
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Lenbrook nursing home in Atlanta, Georgia, has received a Trust Grade of A, indicating it is an excellent choice for care. Ranking #19 out of 353 facilities in the state places it in the top half, while being #1 of 18 in DeKalb County shows it is the best local option available. The facility is new with only two issues found during its first inspection, suggesting a stable trend without significant problems. Staffing is a strong point with a 5/5 rating and a turnover rate of 38%, lower than the state average, indicating that staff are familiar with the residents. However, there are some concerns, including a failure to properly clean or replace a nasal cannula for a resident, which could increase infection risk, and a lack of stop dates for psychotropic medications for two residents, potentially leading to unnecessary medication use. Overall, while Lenbrook has many strengths, families should be aware of these specific issues.
