Staff turnover
48%
Serious cites
0

Magnolia Manor - Greenville runs about 3.17 nurse hours per resident each day, which is roughly 18 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further, around 18 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend schedule matters most for a 99-bed home where families often visit and notice the difference. Staff turnover sits at 48.3 percent, a bit above the national 45.8 percent, so many of the aides and nurses working the floor are relatively new. On paper, the home's 11 deficiencies include none tied to harm or abuse, and last inspection was July 2025, but its health inspection rating remains 2 out of 5 under CMS.

Pruitthealth - Pickens runs 44 beds in Six Mile, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The health inspection record is solid, 14 deficiencies on file, but none reached harm or jeopardy level, and a $4,271 fine is modest by industry standards. What pulls the picture down is staffing: 2.98 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 23 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 16 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 47.1 percent, just above the national figure, which means CNAs and nurses cycle through steadily. A limited liability company operates it for profit. The state surveyor last visited in March 2026. Ask the administrator how they cover weekend shifts before you decide.

Pruitthealth-Blythewood sits at 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection record is genuinely solid, a four-star health inspection rating with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a fresh survey from September 2025. The catch is staffing. At 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 13 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly a fifth below its own weekday level, which matters for families who visit or call on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 53.5 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often. Two abuse-related deficiencies on the current record deserve a direct question when you tour.

Resorts At Beaufort runs 170 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing works out to 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, roughly 4%. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 64.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people at the bedside change often. The current inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $10,868. Its last inspection was April 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 3 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and how they keep staff.

Oak View runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, about 3.59 nurse hours per resident day against an average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage. That matters when you consider the inspection record: 22 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and one $59,005 fine. CMS has placed this Conway home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems. The 59.4% annual turnover is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for your relative are frequently new. Quality measures look strong on paper, but the staffing and enforcement record tell a fuller story.

Midlands Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 88 beds in Columbia under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where families should focus. At 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, a pattern that matters most when a resident needs help on a Sunday. Annual turnover of 52.8% tops the national 45.8%, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and two fines totaling $51,803; the most recent inspection was September 11, 2025. Quality measures score well, but that sits against the lowest staffing tier.

Edgefield Post-Acute runs lean on nursing hours: 2.93 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 14% below its own weekday staffing. That matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when a lot of hands-on care actually happens. Turnover is the brighter spot at 30.3%, well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. On record, 16 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A 2/5 on inspections and 2/5 on staffing pull against stronger quality marks, so ask how the low hours play out on a weekend shift.

Carlyle Senior Care of Williston runs 44 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average, 3.79 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small, but the weekend picture matters more: staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bigger number here, 62.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses working with your relative are likely to change often. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2026. Steady on paper, but watch the weekends.

Aiken Rehabilitation and Care Center runs 125 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the daily experience depends heavily on when you visit. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 62.2% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the aides and nurses caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Seventeen deficiencies appear on the current record with none at harm level, but five are abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2026.

Golden Age Operations runs 44 beds in Inman, and its staffing is the first thing to notice: 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, about 11 percent under the national average, with weekends running roughly 9 percent thinner than weekdays. A 60.5 percent annual turnover rate, against a national 45.8 percent, means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often, which matters for anyone with dementia or who needs consistent hands. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus $10,364 in fines. Its last inspection was recent, February 2026, so the record isn't stale.

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.

The Heritage at Lowman has 152 certified beds and runs on a nonprofit corporate model, and its nurse staffing averages 4.11 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average. That cushion thins on weekends, though, when coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 46.3%, basically even with the national rate, so continuity isn't the standout concern here. What is: a two-star health inspection rating and a one-star quality measure rating, with 24 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Two fines totaling $14,664 have been levied, and the most recent inspection came in December 2025.

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.

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.

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.

Pocotaligo River runs a nonprofit home in Manning with 88 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86. That helps explain a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. But weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look different from a Tuesday. The inspection record is thinner: 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $17,537 and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national average.
