Altamaha Healthcare Center

Altamaha Healthcare Center provides skilled nursing and rehabilitative care in the heart of Jesup, Georgia, drawing its name from the storied Altamaha River that defines much of Wayne County's natural landscape. Located on West Cherry Street, the facility is positioned centrally within Jesup — close to essential services, medical providers, and the quiet neighborhoods that give this southeast Georgia city its character. Residents and families benefit from proximity to Wayne Memorial Hospital, Jesup's primary acute-care facility, which provides emergency and inpatient services to the community. For more complex specialty needs, the greater Brunswick and Golden Isles area is accessible to the southeast, and Savannah's extensive medical corridor — including Memorial Health University Medical Center — is roughly 70 miles away. Jesup itself is a welcoming small city with deep roots in the timber and agriculture industries that shaped southeast Georgia. The community is close to the Altamaha Wildlife Management Area, one of Georgia's most expansive natural preserves, offering birdwatching, fishing, and outdoor recreation along one of the most biologically rich river systems in North America. Families visiting residents may also enjoy a short drive to Brunswick's historic downtown, the Golden Isles' beaches on St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, or Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation State Historic Site. Managed by Beacon Health Management, Altamaha Healthcare Center operates with a focus on individualized, clinician-led care that respects the dignity and goals of each resident. Beacon Health brings operational expertise and a commitment to transparent, quality-driven outcomes that families can rely on. For Wayne County residents and families across the surrounding region — including Brantley, Pierce, and Appling counties — Altamaha Healthcare Center offers a local skilled nursing option embedded in the community it serves.
