ROCKMART HEALTH
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Rockmart Health has an impressive Trust Grade of A+, indicating it is an elite facility, ranking in the top tier of nursing homes. It holds the #32 position out of 353 facilities in Georgia, placing it in the top half overall, and is the #2 option among three facilities in Polk County. This facility is new, as it has just undergone its first inspection, so there is no trend data available yet. Staffing is a strong point, with a 4 out of 5-star rating and a turnover rate of 21%, significantly lower than the state average of 47%, meaning staff are likely to remain and build relationships with residents. Additionally, it's worth noting that there have been no fines or deficiencies recorded, which is excellent news for families considering this home; however, there is less RN coverage compared to 77% of facilities in Georgia, which could be a concern for some families. Overall, Rockmart Health presents a strong option with no reported issues, but families should consider the level of nursing staff present.

Do Nurses at Rockmart Health Stick Around?
Staff at ROCKMART HEALTH tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 21%, the facility is 25 percentage points below the Georgia average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly.

Was Rockmart Health Ever Fined?
ROCKMART HEALTH 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 Rockmart Health on Any Federal Watch List?
ROCKMART HEALTH 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. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
