This home is ranked 19th out of 104 homes in South Carolina.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 52m per day | ▲ 37% 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 19m per day | ▲ 30% 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 40m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 2h 13m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 25m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 3h 20m 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.
| 12m per day | ▲ 140% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 38m per day | ▲ 58% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

In South Carolina, the Department of Public Health, Bureau of Healthcare Quality conducts unannounced inspections to ensure care providers meet all health and safety codes.
The data displayed corresponds to the last 5 years.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
South Carolina average: 12 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on September 11, 2025, identified deficiencies related to inadequate supervision that led to a resident eloping, which was initially cited as Immediate Jeopardy but was removed after corrective actions. Earlier inspections showed a range of issues including food storage and labeling problems, medication administration errors, expired medications, hand hygiene lapses, and staff licensing concerns. Prior complaint investigations substantiated misuse of psychotropic medication, failures to report and investigate abuse, wound care deficiencies, and sanitation problems. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows recurring challenges with resident supervision, medication management, and food safety, with some corrective measures appearing effective in addressing immediate risks.
