WILLIAM BREMAN JEWISH HOME, THE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The William Breman Jewish Home in Atlanta has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families looking for care. It ranks #42 out of 353 facilities in Georgia, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 18 in Fulton County, meaning only one other local option is better. The facility's trend is stable, with three issues reported in both 2022 and 2024, suggesting consistency in their operations. Staffing is a strong point, with a 5/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 35%, which is below the state average, indicating that employees are likely to remain long-term and know the residents well. However, there have been some concerns, including a serious incident where a resident was transferred improperly by one staff member instead of the required two, resulting in a fracture, and issues with food storage and labeling, which compromise safety standards. Overall, while the facility has excellent staffing and a solid reputation, families should be aware of these specific incidents and the need for ongoing attention to safety practices.
