Staff turnover

Hallmark Healthcare Center runs 88 certified beds in Summerville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. The good news: turnover is 22.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the caregivers you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026.

Myrtle Beach Manor runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.90 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so the floor isn't as steady as the average suggests. The trouble is what inspections turned up. Eleven deficiencies sit on the current record, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home three times for $27,834 total. The last inspection was November 20, 2025, so the picture is recent. Strong daily staffing hasn't translated into clean surveys here. Families should ask specifically what those three harm-level findings involved and how they've been corrected.

Pruitthealth-Rock Hill runs 132 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 18 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage gap widens when families tend to visit. Turnover is 42.4 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the health inspection record is the real weak spot: 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection on February 19, 2026. Quality and staffing measures each land mid-range, but the inspection history is what a family should weigh hardest here.

Pruitthealth-Columbia runs 144 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 49.5%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $48,523. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the quality measure score of 3 out of 5 lands in the middle. The staffing star rating of 4 is the strongest number here; the 1 out of 5 on health inspections is the one worth asking about directly.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Valley Falls Terrace runs 88 certified beds in Spartanburg, owned by an individual for profit. The staffing number is the one to watch: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, about 15 percent under the national 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10 percent below the home's own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in its one-star staffing rating, even though turnover at 45.8 percent lands right at the national average. Inspections look better. The home carries a four-star health inspection rating and a clean record on its most recent survey from May 2026, 12 deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. So you're weighing a decent survey history against daily staffing that runs light, especially on weekends.

West Village Post Acute runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes in the country, 3.28 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends are leaner still, about 13 percent below what the building staffs on weekdays, and more than half the nursing staff turned over in the past year, a rate above the national figure. Inspectors have logged 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, though the most recent visit was in January 2026, so the record is current. The company is a for-profit LLC with 132 certified beds.

Serious cites
0

Bennettsville Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 3.21 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters because the home carries 28 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $15,646 in fines across two penalties. Turnover is the one bright spot: 27.6% versus 45.8% nationally, so aides and nurses tend to stay. The last inspection was April 2025. A for-profit LLC operates its 110 beds, and federal ratings sit at two stars for both inspections and quality measures.

Pruitthealth-Orangeburg runs 88 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are the bigger gap: staffing drops about 24% below the home's own weekday level, which is where families often notice the difference. Turnover lands at 44.2%, essentially tracking the national 45.8%, so that's not the standout issue here. The 22 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and one fine totaling $3,728 has been issued. A May 2025 inspection is recent. Where the numbers pull against each other is staffing, thin, especially on weekends, set against a clean harm record.

Ashley River Healthcare runs 125 certified beds in Charleston under for-profit limited liability ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $46,164. Quality measures score well and the last inspection was recent, but the staffing pattern and that harm-level citation are the numbers worth weighing.

The Mcnair center runs on 2.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday level. That's the trade-off families notice first, since less coverage shows up in slower response times and busier aides. On the other hand, staff turnover sits at 32% against a national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay. Its record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in January 2026 and a mid-range 3/5 on health inspections. Quality measures score 2/5, the weakest part of the profile.

Sedgewood Manor runs 38 beds in Hopkins under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.84 nurse hours per resident day. That thin margin gets worse on weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is the bigger flag: 60% a year against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Inspections tell a similar story, a 1-star health inspection rating and 18 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was July 29, 2025. Quality measures score better than staffing or inspections here. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about weekend coverage and how they've addressed that abuse finding.

The Gables of Pelham runs 45 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing score sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, one star out of five. Annual turnover is 53.1 percent against a national average of 45.8, so more than half the staff leaves every year. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to count as harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $11,196 are on file, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. Quality measures also land at two stars. If you're considering this home, ask directly how they're addressing turnover and what changed after those abuse-related findings.

Pruitthealth-Aiken runs 176 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 24 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover at 33.8 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent, which matters, but the inspection record is the real weight here: 18 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $21,645 fine. The most recent inspection closed in December 2025. A one-star health inspection rating with that abuse count deserves a close look before you decide.

Weekends dip roughly another 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 51.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two are abuse-related, and CMS has issued two fines totaling $4,893. The last inspection was March 26, 2026.

Heritage Post Acute runs 132 beds in Florence under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits about 10% under the national average, 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 48.5%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is current, dated February 2026, with 10 deficiencies and nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level; no abuse citations either. What pulls the quality measure rating down to 1 out of 5 while inspections and staffing each hold at 3 is worth asking about directly.

Weekends drop another 15% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 62.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team leaves within a year. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated May 8, 2026. Corporate for-profit ownership, a two-star health inspection rating, and three stars each for staffing and quality measures round out the picture.

Pruitthealth-Dillon runs below the national average on nurse staffing, 2.96 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday level, which is when families often notice less help on the floor. The tradeoff is retention: 26.8% turnover beats the 45.8% national average, so the aides who are there tend to stay. Its inspection record is the weak point: 16 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $10,036 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 84 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how those harm-level findings were resolved before deciding.

Cheraw Healthcare runs 120 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average. Weekends drop about 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover at 44.3 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but still means nearly half the workforce turns over in a year. The inspection record carries 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $14,901 fine. The most recent inspection was March 12, 2026, so the picture is current rather than stale.

Fleetwood Post Acute runs about 3.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 9% below its own weekday pace. That thin staffing shows up in the numbers that matter: 64.9% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, and a staffing rating of 2 out of 5. The inspection record carries 10 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $14,842 and a May 2025 inspection still recent. Ownership is for-profit, a limited liability company. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects resident care data, but staffing and inspections are where the risk sits.

Simpsonville Post Acute runs lean on nursing hours, about 3.03 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday coverage. With 55.1% annual turnover, staff are cycling out faster than the national rate, which matters most on Saturdays and Sundays when fewer hands are already scheduled. The inspection record isn't clean either: seven deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $9,710 fine. That said, its last inspection was recent (January 2026) and CMS scored the health inspection and quality measures at four stars each. The weak spot is staffing, and it's a real one.
