Two of the 25 1-star, "much below average" nursing homes have citations from the federal government for "abuse."

Both homes cited for abuse are in Marietta, A.G. Rhodes Cobb and the Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center. However, both of those citations come from 2022, and both facilities were fined and ordered to take corrective action by CMS.

Channel 2 Action News has reached out to both companies for updates on the citation status and to see if corrective actions were taken.
