Is Resorts at Pooler a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Resorts at Pooler as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Georgia average of 2.7. Inspectors issued 18 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $4,017 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 3 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.

Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 4.03 hours per resident per day at Resorts at Pooler, above the Georgia median of 3.47 (US median: 3.72). About 0.42 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 3.74 hours, 7% below its all-week average. 58.1% of nursing staff left within a year (Georgia median 45.8%).

Paying for care at Resorts at Pooler: Medicare and Medicaid

Resorts at Pooler 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. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
