Is PruittHealth - Lithonia a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Georgia average of 2.7. Inspectors issued 14 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 5 out of 5; for long-term residents, 3 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.
