Aiken Rehabilitation and Care Center is a privately owned nursing home in Aiken, South Carolina, providing short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing care, respite services, and dietary support. The community is operated by Pepper Hill SNF Operations Holdings LLC, with a 125-bed capacity. Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay options are all accepted, supporting access for residents with a variety of coverage and financial situations.
The resident mix includes both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care populations, with occupancy averaging 85.1%, above the South Carolina average. Financial reporting also indicates annual revenue of approximately $12 million, with payroll expenses representing about 58% of total revenue.
The community holds a 3-star overall CMS rating, performing slightly above the South Carolina average overall. Health inspection performance ranks approximately 9% above the state benchmark, while staffing scores align closely with statewide averages. On the other hand, quality measures fall roughly 43% below South Carolina averages.
Total nursing and licensed practical nurse coverage averages are both higher than the state average, making it one of the community’s strongest staffing indicators. Nurse aide coverage and weekend nursing hours also perform above the state average. Registered nurse staffing, however, is notably lower than average at 23 minutes per resident daily, with weekend RN coverage also significantly below the statewide average.
Inspection performance over the past five years reflects a mixed but generally stable compliance history, with a total of six health inspections. This is above the South Carolina average of 3.9 inspections, and the most recent survey was completed in March 2025. A total of 16 health citations are recorded, slightly above the statewide average, though the average number of citations per inspection remained below state norms, suggesting improving compliance performance over time.
Importantly, no critical or serious citations were identified during the five-year review period. All recorded deficiencies were classified as moderate or minor in severity, and all were corrected. Citation categories included pharmacy services, abuse prevention and neglect safeguards, and quality of care and quality of life standards. A wide range of amenities and social features, including a therapy gym, solariums used for dining and activities, organized outings, transportation services, and seasonal recreational events, are provided.
Aiken Rehabilitation and Care Center is a solid option for older adults in Aiken County seeking post-acute rehabilitation or long-term skilled nursing support, particularly those who prioritize strong licensed practical nurse and nurse aide staffing levels. Interested families with more medically complex conditions, however, should consider its lower-than-average RN and weekend RN coverage when assessing overall clinical oversight needs.
Aiken Rehabilitation and Care Center is legally operated by Pepper Hill Snf Operations Llc, and administrated by Charles N Guzman.
