Nurse hours

Staff turnover
45%
Serious cites
0

Ridgeway Manor runs on 2.87 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and its weekend staffing barely dips from weekday levels, so the thin coverage isn't a weekend problem, it's the baseline. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 30 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, plus four tied to abuse. A one-out-of-five inspection rating with the most recent survey dated April 2026 gives you a picture of a building that has repeatedly fallen short on the fundamentals. Staff turnover, at 44.6%, is essentially at the national rate.

Serious cites

Magnolia Manor in Rock Hill is a for-profit home with 106 certified beds, and the numbers that stand out most are on the inspection side. Twenty deficiencies sit on its current record, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and four tied to abuse. Federal fines total $128,214 across five penalties. Nurse staffing runs about 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 11 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover, at 39 percent, is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The last inspection was in December 2025, so the record is recent, not stale.

White Oak Estates runs 88 certified beds in Spartanburg under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, with weekends about 9% thinner than its own weekdays. Annual staff turnover is 57.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your family member are changing more often than at the typical home. The current inspection record carries 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $8,827 fine. The last inspection was March 5, 2026, so that record is recent.

Iva Post-Acute is a 60-bed for-profit home in Anderson County, and the numbers tell a split story. On paper, the care quality looks strong, a 5/5 quality measure rating and a 4/5 on health inspections, with the most recent inspection in September 2025 finding 11 deficiencies, none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse. The catch is staffing. At 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, this home runs roughly 24% below the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 57.8% against a national rate of 45.8%. A limited liability company owns it. Good inspection results matter, but they can't fully offset thin, churning staffing.

Staff turnover
57%
Serious cites

Angel Oak runs lean on the floor: 3.25 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage. That shortfall matters more when you look at turnover, 57.3% of staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. Inspectors last visited in February 2026 and found eight deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $13,520 fine on record. The recent inspection and quality scores look decent on paper, but staffing is where the trouble shows.

Linley Park Post Acute runs thin on nursing hours: 3.23 per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 63.4 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The for-profit, limited-liability owner has kept a clean inspection record lately, 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a survey from December 2025, and quality measures score well. What a family should weigh is whether adequate clinical outcomes can hold up when the staffing line is the weakest part of the file.

Edisto Post Acute runs on thin staffing. At 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The CMS staffing rating reflects that at 1 out of 5. Turnover is the bigger tell: 60.9% of nursing staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means caregivers rarely stay long enough to learn your mother's routines. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was recent, September 2025. Quality measures score well, but that reflects charted outcomes, not the hands available to deliver them.

Oakbrook runs lean on nursing hours, 3.13 per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends get thinner still, with about 13% less coverage than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 63.9% against a national rate near 46%, meaning nearly two out of three caregivers are leaving each year, which usually shows up as unfamiliar faces and unfinished routines. The inspection record backs that up: 13 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $22,564 in fines across three separate penalties, with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. Its most recent survey was in May 2026, so the findings are current, not stale.

Carlyle Senior Care of Florence runs 88 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters when you're thinking about who's answering a call light on a Sunday. Annual turnover is 59.8% against a national 45.8%, so the faces change often. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was March 26, 2026, so the picture is recent.

Anchor Post Acute runs 3.42 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekdays, that's the staffing picture behind its one-star CMS staffing rating. Annual turnover sits at 67.8% when the national figure is 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers left last year. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was September 2025. A for-profit LLC operates the 120-bed home, with one fine of $9,428 on record. Its four-star quality measure score stands out against everything else here.

Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation runs 132 beds in West Columbia under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, but the weekend schedule drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 59.4% against a national 45.8%, which is a lot of churn for a building this size. The health inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $4,271; the most recent inspection was March 2026. CMS rates the quality measures 5 out of 5 and staffing just 1, so ask how care actually holds up on Saturdays.

Carlyle Senior Care of Blackville runs 85 certified beds under corporate, for-profit ownership, and the numbers worth knowing start with its inspection record: 16 deficiencies on file, 3 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus 2 tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $58,881 have followed. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover at 43.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection was March 31, 2026.

Mountainview runs a nonprofit operation with 132 beds, and its 4.55 nurse hours per resident day sit about 18% above the national average, that part is genuinely good. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 80.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are largely new and cycling through. On inspections, the record is harder to defend: 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, three fines totaling $15,324, and a November 2024 inspection that rated 2 out of 5 stars for health and just 1 for quality measures. Strong staffing numbers alone don't offset that pattern.

Riverside Health And Rehab runs 160 certified beds in Charleston under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.72 hours per resident day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 46.2%, essentially tracking the national figure, so the shortfall isn't about constant churn; it's about how few hands are scheduled. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $27,788. The most recent inspection was April 21, 2026. Staffing star rating lands at 1 out of 5.

River Falls Post Acute runs 44 beds in Marietta under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the concern sits. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 59.5% is nearly 14 points above the national rate, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are frequently new. Inspections look better: a 4/5 health inspection rating, last survey in April 2026, 9 deficiencies with one at harm level and none abuse-related, plus a single $8,824 fine. The quality measures also rate 4/5. The gap between how care is documented and how consistently it's staffed is what pulls the overall picture down.

Magnolia Manor - Greenwood runs on 3.25 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 25 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $13,075 and a one-star health inspection rating. Staff turnover sits at 47.9%, slightly above the national 45.8%. This is a for-profit limited liability company, 88 beds, last inspected June 2025.

Brookview runs on 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, 4 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 3 tied to abuse, and $42,599 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 49%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. The last inspection was January 8, 2026, meaning the record is current, not old news. This is a for-profit LLC with 132 certified beds, and the pattern across staffing, turnover, and serious deficiencies is consistent rather than a one-time slip.

Sumter East runs 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover sits at 44.2%, close to the national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are on deck. The inspection record is harder to look past: 32 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $33,097, with the last inspection in March 2026. For a 176-bed for-profit run by an LLC, the staffing and inspection numbers together tell you where the risk sits.

Peachtree Centre runs a 151-bed for-profit operation in Gaffney, and the staffing numbers are the first thing a family should sit with. At 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit and when backup is hardest to call in. Turnover sits at 64.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers are new to the building each year. Eighteen deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which matters, but the most recent inspection was May 2026.

St Andrews Operator runs 108 certified beds in Columbia under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its F grade are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 79.3% is nearly double the national rate, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The current record carries 40 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus $52,910 in fines. Its last inspection was July 2025, so the picture is recent.
