Overview

Crosview Care Center has received a Trust Grade of D, indicating that it is below average and has several concerns. It ranks #269 out of 353 nursing homes in Georgia, placing it in the bottom half of facilities statewide, and is the second lowest in Wilcox County. The facility is worsening, with reported issues increasing from 2 in 2023 to 9 in 2024, which raises red flags about care quality. Staffing is a strength, as the turnover rate is 39%, lower than the state average, but the facility has less RN coverage than 88% of other facilities, which is concerning. Specific incidents include failures in infection control in the laundry area, maintaining cleanliness in resident bathrooms, and accurately reporting staffing data, all of which highlight significant areas needing improvement.

Based on staff interviews, record review, and review of the PBJ (Payroll Based Journal) [NAME] Report for the First Quarter (Q1) of Fiscal Year 2024, the facility failed to accurately report direct care staffing data to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). The facility census was 67 residents. Findings include: A review of the PBJ [NAME] Report for Q1 2024, October 1 through December 31, revealed the Staffing Data Report triggered for excessively low weekend staffing and a one-star staffing rating (Failure to submit PBJ data by the deadline, more than 4 days in the quarter without RN (Registered Nurse) Staffing hours, failure to respond to, submit documentation for, or failure to pass a CMS audit designed to discover discrepancies in PBJ data). A review of the facility's documents titled Daily Staff Posting, and PBJ Time, from October 2023 through December 2023, revealed discrepancies between the total number of hours nursing staff worked on the weekends and the total number of nursing hours worked reported to CMS. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/24/2024 at 2:30 pm, she reported being unable to explain the discrepancy. She has had to work weekends to ensure coverage and during the weekdays as a nurse on the floor to ensure coverage. She also reported her nursing staff and certified nursing assistant have worked hours over to ensure coverage. The discrepancy would have to have come from the prior DON and Administrator. Interview with the Administrator and Regional [NAME] President on 4/24/2024 at 10:42 am, the Administrator could not offer any explanation. She reported her hire date was after that period. Interview on 4/23/2024 at 3:00 pm, the Regional [NAME] President reported that the current Administrator is newly hired, and the former leadership (Administrator and DON) are no longer working. This would be hard to determine what happened in reference to the low staffing, and the accuracy of the PBJ reports submitted. It would be hard to determine the baseline and to determine the shortage of staff. She stated that the facility was currently in compliance with RN coverage and staffing. She acknowledged the one-star staffing rating and said that everyone was working hard to get staff into the facility.

The thermostat that regulates resident rooms was mounted in the hallway where it's warmer, keeps running trying to adjust to the temp set at, although it is much colder inside resident rooms. A temp check on East Hall revealed a temp of 79 degrees. His expectation was that the thermostat be moved from the hallway but that would have to be approved, and he would need help to get it done.

Her expectation was that the facility is in the best possible condition. Further interview confirmed there was only one door to the laundry department used for entering and exiting with dirty and clean laundry, and the laundry door is open to the smoking porch. The Administrator did not feel this was causing cross contamination because dirty laundry should be contained and transported in a covered container. Her expectation was the laundry door should be closed when residents are smoking on the porch, doors between the dirty and clean side should always be closed, laundry carts should not be parked on the smoking porch and should be stored in the laundry department. She confirmed there was a large hole in the wall, there were steps to get in and out of the laundry department, and that two staff could carry the laundry cart up and down the steps.

How is Crossview Staffed?

CMS rates CROSSVIEW CARE CENTER's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 39%, compared to the Georgia average of 46%.

RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.

Who Owns and Operates Crossview?

The facility is operated by BEACON HEALTH MANAGEMENT, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 102 certified beds and approximately 67 residents (about 66% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in PINEVIEW, Georgia.

How Does Crossview Compare to Other Georgia Nursing Homes?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Crossview?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Crossview Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, CROSSVIEW CARE CENTER has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Georgia.

Do Nurses at Crossview Stick Around?

Was Crossview Ever Fined?

CROSSVIEW CARE CENTER has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Crossview on Any Federal Watch List?

CROSSVIEW CARE CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
