Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (76% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 28 days.
Wellmore of Lexington is a 174-bed continuing care retirement campus managed by administrator Crystal C. Butcher and operated by Wellmore of Lexington LLC. The facility blends independent living, assisted living, memory care, and 24-hour skilled nursing, leaning heavily on a short-term rehabilitation model. Admissions mirror this post-acute focus, with 76% using Medicare and 24% paying privately, generating a brief 51-day average stay. On-site features include an indoor therapy pool, a spa and salon, fine dining rooms, and dedicated workout spaces. However, the property faces severe occupancy challenges, sitting at 64.4%, and logged a 2023 operating loss of $1.6 million on $9.8 million in revenue.
Public health summaries show standard to solid daily attention, with overall nursing care averaging 4 hours and 9 minutes per resident to run slightly ahead of the South South Carolina baseline. This model keeps registered nurse coverage 32% above state averages, though the building relies on outside staffing agencies to fill about a quarter of its hours. Clinical tracking records detail a sharp split in patient outcomes; permanent residents maintain a zero percent depression rate and steady daily activity habits, but they experience high rates of pressure ulcers and urinary tract infections.
Short-stay rehab metrics also run behind state targets, with reports noting higher rates of emergency hospital readmissions and a major injury rate from short-term falls that tracks 60% worse than the state average. The operator’s regulatory history includes a low $16,000 in total federal fines over the past three years.
Interested individuals weighing local short-term rehab or extended senior care options can utilize these government tracking dossiers to view the provider’s overall operations. Since the public data notes above-average daily nursing times and strong behavioral health scores alongside clear multi-year financial losses, thin occupancy, and higher short-stay fall risks, the documentation calls for balancing the property’s amenities against its clinical trends.
Wellmore of Lexington is legally operated by Wellmore Of Lexington Llc, and administered by Crystal C Butcher.
