Marietta Nursing Homes

Marietta has eight skilled nursing homes, with seven rated by Medicare. The average overall rating is 2.7 stars out of five, meaning most homes fall below average. Three homes rate four stars or higher, but three others are rated two stars or lower. Families should check specific facilities' scores, as the city includes both better-rated and lower-rated options.

Staffing averages show 3.5 nursing hours per resident daily, with only 0.4 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 44%, indicating frequent staff changes. These numbers suggest limited direct nursing care and potential instability in care teams, which can affect daily support.

Cobb County has three hospitals, including Wellstar Kennestone with an ER, but these are not specific to Marietta. The statewide annual cost for a shared room is $59,495. Given the mixed ratings, families should prioritize the three four-star homes in Marietta or consider neighboring towns with stronger overall scores.
