CareQED Analysis

Dawson Health and Rehabilitation is a 60-bed nursing home in Dawson, Georgia. It holds a 1-star CMS overall rating. Total nurse staffing is 3.4 hours per resident day, below the Georgia average of 3.6. Its most recent inspection, in March 2026, cited 4 deficiencies, none of them severe. It is on CMS's Special Focus Facility list, a designation for persistently poor-performing nursing homes. CMS has flagged this facility with an abuse icon.

The most notable positive is that the latest inspection’s citations were not rated as severe, suggesting recent problems were limited in scope. However, the facility’s Special Focus designation and the abuse flag are significant concerns worth asking the facility about — specifically what actions have been taken to address the longstanding quality and abuse issues and how they will ensure resident safety going forward.
