How non-profit homes in South Carolina compare
This group set against every nursing home in South Carolina, from the current CMS release.
L.m.c.- Extended Care runs 352 certified beds in Lexington, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day, not below it, but with weekend coverage running about 12 percent lighter than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover of 41.4 percent is lower than the national 45.8 percent, so the workforce is somewhat more stable than most. Against that, the current record carries 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $30,021; the most recent inspection was in July 2025.
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.
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.
Martha Franks Baptist Retirement Center sits in Laurens, and the numbers tell a mixed story worth sorting through. Nurse staffing runs 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and weekend coverage holds up reasonably well even if it dips about 13% below weekdays. Staff turnover at 41.1% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so people aren't fleeing. Where it gets harder: 11 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $12,735 fine. The last inspection was September 2025. Good daily care hours, but a compliance record that needs a close look.
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.
