About Athens, Georgia

Athens, Georgia, often referred to as the "Classic City," is a vibrant college town nestled in the northeastern part of the state, about 70 miles from downtown Atlanta. Renowned as the home of the University of Georgia, this city is a hub of creative energy and culture, brimming with a robust visual and performing arts scene. Athens, named after the epicenter of classical culture in Greece, was described by naturalist John Muir in 1867 as a "remarkably beautiful and aristocratic town" marked by signs of culture and refinement. The city lies on the Oconee River and is the fourth-largest in Georgia. It's not just known for its academic prowess but also for its sports enthusiasm, particularly for the University of Georgia's football team, the Georgia Bulldogs.

About Nursing Homes

When it comes to healthcare services for seniors, nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are two of the most common options available. A nursing home is a living option for seniors who do not need a hospital but require a higher level of care or medical attention than can be provided at home or in assisted living. Nursing homes provide structured schedules, meals, and around-the-clock medical treatment. Residents have care plans and receive regular health assessments. Nursing homes are regulated at both federal and state levels. A skilled nursing facility (SNF) is a residential establishment for short-term medically necessary services. Residents receive 24-hour care from skilled nursing professionals, usually after a recent injury or illness. Residents may no longer require hospital care but might need medical management and monitoring, rehabilitation, or therapy. SNFs are licensed by the state’s Department of Health Services, but must also meet federal requirements “to receive payment under Medicare or Medicaid programs.”
