The Preston Health Center runs on 6.41 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly two and a half hours more than the typical American nursing home. Weekend coverage dips about 10% from its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 20.5%, less than half the national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record shows five deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $8,018. Its last inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current.

Willow Brooke Court is small, 20 certified beds, and it's run by a nonprofit corporation, which tends to show up in staffing. Nurse hours per resident day land at 3.81, right about at the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage only about 2% thinner than weekdays. That steadiness matters more than the headline number. Staff turnover is 28.1%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Four deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 27, 2025. The low deficiency count and steady staffing are what's actually behind the numbers here.

Brightwater runs leaner on turnover than most homes, 33.7% against a national 45.8%, and its nurse staffing sits well above average at 5.58 hours per resident day. That combination matters more than any single rating, since it suggests the people here tend to stay and there are enough of them. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, worth asking about if a family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 17 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a $7,342 fine and a survey completed April 30, 2025. For-profit LLC ownership. Ask directly how those abuse-related findings were resolved.

White Oak Manor sits in Lancaster with 132 certified beds and a corporate for-profit owner. Staffing runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and turnover is 32.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than at the typical home. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, which is common but still worth asking about. Six deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. The quality measure score is perfect and the staffing score is strong; the health inspection score is the middling one.

Nhc Healthcare - Laurens runs 176 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last health inspection came in March 2025. The current record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, that combination is what weighs down an otherwise strong profile. Staff turnover sits at 18.1%, well under the national 45.8%, so the same caregivers tend to stay. Daily nurse staffing of 3.63 hours per resident is about 6% under the national 3.86, and weekends run roughly 15% lighter than weekdays. The quality and staffing star ratings both hit 5/5; inspections landed at 3/5.

Pruitthealth-Barnwell runs a tight ship on the things that matter most. State inspectors visited in June 2025 and found just two deficiencies, neither of which caused harm or involved abuse, the kind of record that's genuinely uncommon among for-profit corporate homes. Staffing sits right at the national line, 3.84 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends run about 17% leaner than weekdays, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. What stands out is turnover: 27.3% against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, and that continuity usually shows up in how residents are actually cared for.

Rolling Green Village runs on 6.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 68 percent above the national average of 3.86, and it holds five stars each for staffing and health inspections. The trade-off is that weekends drop about 24 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets may depend on which day they need it. Staff turnover sits at 48.8 percent, slightly worse than the national 45.8 percent, and the record shows three deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was in May 2025, and this is a small for-profit home with just 22 beds.

Nhc Healthcare - Sumter runs 138 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: four deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Staffing sits at 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What offsets that is retention: 27.3 percent annual turnover against a national average of 45.8 percent means the aides and nurses here are more likely to still be around next year, which matters more for daily care than almost anything else on paper.

Broad Creek Care Center is small, 25 beds, and it's putting 5.51 nursing hours behind each resident per day, roughly 43% more than the national average. That's a real difference if your family member needs hands-on help, though weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so ask what Sunday afternoon actually looks like. Turnover sits at 47.4%, a touch above the national figure, which means the faces around your parent may keep changing even with the hours on paper. On the record: seven deficiencies, one serious enough to risk harm, two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was January 2026. Corporate-owned, for profit.

Wildewood Downs runs on nursing hours, 5.27 per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating, which sits at the top of CMS's scale. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays, and turnover at 41.2% is a bit better than the national 45.8%, though still means a good share of the faces change year to year. Nine deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus an inspection as recent as January 2026, suggests a home that's been looked at closely and come through cleanly. A for-profit LLC operates it.

Nhc Healthcare - Parklane runs on 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 37.7% against a national 45.8%. Those two numbers explain most of what the federal ratings reflect: 4 out of 5 stars for staffing, 5 out of 5 on health inspections, 4 out of 5 on quality measures. The ten deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the file was last inspected in February 2026, so the picture is current. Weekend coverage does dip about 19% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly.

Nhc Healthcare - Charleston runs leaner on inspection problems than its one-star health inspection rating might suggest at first glance, nine deficiencies on record, only one serious enough to cause harm, and none tied to abuse. Where it stands out is staffing: 5.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with turnover at 32.4% against a national 45.8%. That's a workforce that stays put more than most. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday pace.

Presbyterian Home Of South Carolina-Columbia runs small, just 22 certified beds in Lexington, and it's corporate-owned for profit.

Turnover sits at 65% against a national 45.8%, which means the people delivering that strong coverage keep changing. Seven deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as June 2025.

Presbyterian Home of Sc - Foothills in Easley runs a small 22-bed nonprofit operation with nurse staffing at 6.07 hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 21% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 63.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are cycling through. Nine deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. The most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. Quality and staffing measures score higher than the inspection history does.

Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina-Florence runs small, 25 certified beds, and it's a nonprofit, which often shows up in staffing. Here it does: 5.30 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets managed. Staff turnover sits at 48.8%, a bit above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the workforce changes over in a year. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in August 2025.

Turnover is 45.5%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem here. The inspection record shows five deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse; the most recent survey was April 2026, so the picture is current. Where this home stands out is its 5/5 quality measure rating, meaning charts and clinical outcomes look strong even as the health inspection score (3/5) and that harm-level citation pull the overall picture down.

Linville Court At The Cascades Verdae runs 5.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That's a real drop, though the floor stays high enough that it likely matters less than it would at a leaner home. The current record shows two deficiencies, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated April 2026 and a 5/5 inspection rating behind it. Turnover sits at 50.7%, above the 45.8% national average, which is worth asking about directly, who's actually at the bedside, and how long have they been there. It's a for-profit LLC with 44 beds.

Pruitthealth-Walterboro runs 132 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average. Weekends are the real soft spot: staffing drops about 23% below what the home runs on weekdays, so a Saturday or Sunday shift has noticeably fewer hands than a Tuesday. Turnover is the bright spot at 29.4%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests less churn in who's actually at the bedside. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was January 28, 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score better than staffing does.

Patewood Post Acute runs 120 beds in Greenville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, barely above the 3.86 national average. That thin margin matters more on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover lands at 43.9%, which is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the problem here. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025.

White Oak Manor-York runs a tight ship on inspections, earning the top federal rating there, with its most recent survey completed in May 2025 and six total deficiencies on record, two of which rose to the harm level, though none involved abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, roughly 2% under the national figure, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, a gap worth asking about directly. Staff turnover of 35.9% actually beats the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. For-profit corporate ownership and a mid-range quality measure score round out a home that looks solid on paper but leans on fewer hands than average.
