Overall Review of Georgia Regional Atlanta - Long Term Care Unit

caveat 18 reviews mention this

Safety and humane care concerns

Many residents and families report feeling unsafe and not treated with basic respect.

A recurring concern is how people are treated while they are receiving care. Multiple reviewers describe being physically harmed, feeling like patients are handled like prisoners, or experiencing verbal disrespect. Some families also describe situations that felt like patients were being released or dismissed without getting the help they needed, especially when mental health and substance-use concerns were involved.

Understaffing and long waits

Several reviewers mention delays, limited supervision, or staffing problems during admission.

Residents and family members frequently describe slow processes and difficulty getting timely help. Examples include being kept in waiting areas, delays in seeing a doctor, and not having enough staff on the unit. One reviewer explicitly mentions being understaffed, and others describe having limited orderlies watching large groups of patients.

Food quality draws complaints

Food quality is a frequent point of frustration in the reviews.

Several reviewers criticize meals and drinks, including claims that food was awful, expired, or not healthy. Complaints also include difficulty getting basic items like water and cups.

Discharge and communication issues

A few reviewers describe being surprised by releases or discharge decisions.

There are also complaints about not receiving timely updates during intake or crisis situations.
