Prince George Healthcare Center is a 148-bed skilled nursing facility administered by Helen L. Cribb in Georgetown, Georgetown County, South Carolina. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay accepted. Owned by Palmetto Prince George Operating LLC, the facility serves primarily long-term care residents, with an average stay of 239 days and 89.5 percent of the current census on Medicaid. Occupancy stands at 92 percent, ranked 14th of 121 South Carolina nursing homes and well above the 82.1 percent state average.
CMS rates Prince George Healthcare Center 4 stars, 36.5 percent above the South Carolina average, with quality measures sub-rating 43.3 percent above the state benchmark. 15 total health citations have been recorded across three inspections since 2021, slightly above the South Carolina average of 13.7, though the severity profile is notably clean: zero critical and serious citations within five years, with all citations at moderate or minor level. No penalties assessed in the past three years. The per-inspection average of 5 citations exceeds the state average of 3.44, ranking 95th of 113. 4 of 15 citations arose from inspections that included complaint components. Several long-stay quality measures are meaningfully better than the South Carolina average, including falls with major injury at 2.1 percent (30 percent better), UTI rate at 0.6 percent (65 percent better), and weight loss at 3.3 percent (46 percent better). Depressive symptoms at 21.9 percent and antipsychotic use at 21.6 percent are substantially above state benchmarks and warrant direct inquiry with clinical leadership. Total nursing hours at 3 hours and 12 minutes per resident per day are 22 percent below the South Carolina average of 4 hours and 5 minutes, though the CMS case-mix-adjusted staffing rating is at the state average.
Prince George Healthcare Center suits Georgetown County families seeking long-term skilled nursing care with a strong CMS rating and a clean severity record across all inspections, reflecting consistent community demand. Families should discuss depressive symptom management and antipsychotic prescribing practices with clinical leadership before continuing.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 29m per day | ▼ 22% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 43m per day | ▼ 28% State avg: 1h 0m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 1h 51m per day | ▼ 17% State avg: 2h 13m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 42m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 3h 22m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 1m per day | ▼ 76% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
