Overview of Retreat at Wellmore of Lexington
Retreat at Wellmore of Lexington is a nonprofit nursing home in Lexington, South Carolina, that offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and respite care. Owned by Wellmore of Lexington LLC, as part of the broader Wellmore of Lexington Life Plan campus, this 60-bed community is administered by Marion Griffin Burgess.
Staffing levels consistently exceed South Carolina averages across nearly every major category, starting with registered nurse coverage that averages 50 minutes per resident per day, well above statewide benchmarks. Licensed practical nurse and nurse aide staffing also surpass state averages. Weekend nursing coverage remains particularly strong, with both total nursing hours and weekend RN availability exceeding the South Carolina average. Physical therapy staffing is the only category that falls modestly below benchmark levels, with a difference that is relatively limited compared to its other staffing profile.
On the other hand, quality measure performance presents a more mixed picture, with long-stay emergency department visit rates performing significantly better than the South Carolina average. Short-stay residents also demonstrate strong improvement in self-care ability at discharge. However, several post-acute rehabilitation metrics warrant closer review, including short-stay rehospitalization rates, emergency department utilization, and falls with major injury, which all exceed state averages. Successful return-to-home rates are also slightly below benchmark levels.
Studio to two-bedroom layouts with private bathrooms are offered, along with a variety of shared spaces. Concierge assistance, housekeeping, and weekly laundry service are also available, as well as a 24-hour emergency response system and pet-friendly policies. Since the skilled nursing component is integrated into a full Life Plan campus, residents have access to other levels of care within the same community environment.
Retreat at Wellmore of Lexington appeals to older adults in Lexington County seeking an upscale residential atmosphere, above-average staffing levels, and long-term continuity within a Life Plan community setting. However, interested families are encouraged to carefully consider post-acute rehabilitation services, a strong staffing profile, and premium amenities against the mixed rehabilitation outcome measures when making care decisions.
Quality ratings
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.
| 48m per day | ▲ 27% 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.
| 1h 12m per day | ▲ 18% State avg: 1h 1m 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.
| 2h 41m per day | ▲ 21% 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.
| 4h 28m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 6m per day | ▲ 18% 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.
| 28m per day | ▲ 16% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
