Is Arrowhead Post Acute a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the Georgia average of 2.7. Inspectors issued 32 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time.

Paying for care at Arrowhead Post Acute: Medicare and Medicaid

Arrowhead Post Acute is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Georgia's income and asset rules.
