There are two nursing homes in Hartwell, Georgia, which at least gives you a few choices. This small group of nursing homes were awarded on average an overall grade of B, which is a perfectly respectable score for the city. In fact, this city's city grade was far better than the city grade of facilities in the nearby city of Monroe. While this grade are not terrible, we found Hartwell to be on a whole other level. We were also pleased to find that this place didn't have any poor grades in any of the major categories. Additional information about these categories is available in the next paragraph.
This city received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of its facilities received virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded Hartwell an impressive grade of A+ for this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. In addition, Hartwell also performed remarkably well in our long-term care category, where we gave it an A- for this category. Lastly, the city received slightly below average grades for our nursing and short-term care categories.
