Serving Georgia’s Communities

Over 28,430 seniors and individuals with disabilities are cared for in Georgia’s nursing homes daily. Access to the right care, in the right setting and at the right time promotes optimal patient and resident outcomes and ultimately promotes overall stability and wellness for Georgia families. Ensuring the continued stability and survival of nursing homes is critical as they play a vital role in caring for our most vulnerable population.

As Georgia’s elderly population is anticipated to grow exponentially in the coming years, it is critical we continue to work with our state’s leaders to ensure access to care of our seniors now and in the future.
