Cooper River Post Acute is a nursing home in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation. Privately owned by Palmetto Master Tenant, LLC through operating entity Mtpleasant SNF LLC, the community has been serving the Charleston County area for over four decades. Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay are also accepted, with service offerings that include skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, housekeeping, person-centered activities, and an on-site beauty salon.
The resident population leans heavily toward short-stay rehabilitation patients, with Medicare and private-pay residents accounting for the majority of admissions and an average length of stay of approximately 131 days. With a current occupancy of 91%, which is notably above the South Carolina average of 82.1%, the community reflects a consistently strong local demand for rehabilitation and nursing services.
The community currently holds a 1-star CMS rating, the lowest among its performance tiers. Health inspection scores fall significantly below South Carolina averages, while staffing ratings also trail statewide benchmarks. Total adjusted nursing care averages 3 hours and 11 minutes per resident per day, approximately 22% below the state average of 4 hours and 5 minutes. Weekend staffing levels decline further to 2 hours and 44 minutes daily, which closely aligns with staffing concern indicators.
Since 2023, the South Carolina Department of Public Health’s Bureau of Healthcare Quality has completed six inspections, resulting in a total of 47 health citations, substantially exceeding state averages. Citation frequency per inspection is also considerably higher than the statewide average. These deficiencies are often categorized into Quality of Life and Care, Resident Rights, Pharmacy Services, Infection Control, and Abuse or Neglect oversight. Moreover, the community’s composite high-risk clinical events score, which measures issues such as falls, pressure injuries, weight loss, and declines in physical functioning, performs significantly worse than South Carolina averages.
The most recent inspection on April 10, 2025, also identified moderate-level deficiencies involving infection control, nutrition services, and pharmacy operations, which were corrected. On the other hand, five civil monetary penalties totaling roughly $85,000 have also been issued, with the largest penalty, approximately $49,000, following the April 2024 inspection. Additional fines were also issued across 2023, 2024, and 2025. No Medicare payment denials were reported in the available records.
With its longstanding local presence and stable occupancy levels, Cooper River Post Acute appeals to older adults in the Mount Pleasant and Charleston area seeking short-term rehabilitation or skilled nursing support after hospitalization.
