In the fourth quarter of 2023, Memorial Manor Nursing Home stood out as the largest nursing home in Decatur County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 107 beds available, three more than the average in Decatur County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 63.2 residents during that period.

Memorial Manor Nursing Home had an overall rating of 1 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 2.5 recorded for nursing homes in Georgia.

During the quarter, Bainbridge Health and Rehabilitation stood out as the second largest nursing home in Decatur County, with 100 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Memorial Manor Nursing Home has already spent a total of $87,950 in four fines and suffered five penalties.

In total, there was one public nursing home in Decatur County, Georgia.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
