Is Bryan County Health & Rehab Center 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 23 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 3 out of 5; for long-term residents, 1 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Bryan County Health & Rehab Center: Medicare and Medicaid

Bryan County Health & Rehab Center 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.
