Life Care Center Of Charleston runs 148 certified beds in North Charleston, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 12 percent below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 42.7 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the concern isn't retention so much as how thin the floor gets on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus $24,247 in fines across two penalties. Clinical quality measures score well, but the January 2026 inspection history and below-average daily staffing carry more weight than that.

White Oak Manor in Spartanburg runs 60 beds under corporate ownership, and the direct-care hours are genuinely above average, about 10% more nurse time per resident than the typical American nursing home. Turnover is the trouble spot: 52.7% of staff leave each year, well past the national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was March 2026, and CMS gives four stars for both health inspections and staffing, three for quality measures. Strong daily hours, real churn underneath.

Nhc Healthcare - Bluffton runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.44 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 44.1%, roughly in line with the national figure, so the workforce is fairly stable even if the floor is leaner. Inspections are a real strength: four stars, 10 deficiencies on record with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was January 30, 2026, so the picture is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 120 beds. Families weighing this one should look hardest at weekend coverage and ask how the abuse citation was resolved.

Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina in Summerville runs a 48-bed nonprofit home where the nursing hours are the story: 5.62 per resident day, roughly 46 percent above the national average, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at 4 out of 5. The record is clean where it counts, just two deficiencies and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, with an inspection as recent as August 2025. The two soft spots are worth knowing. Weekend staffing drops about 16 percent below weekday levels, so ask what weekends actually look like. And turnover is 52.4 percent, above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning plenty of aides are still learning the building.

Sprenger Health Care of Port Royal runs 65 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is 45.3%, essentially matching the national figure, so the instability here isn't unusual for the industry. What stands out is the inspection record: six deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a single $14,069 fine, with the most recent inspection dated March 12, 2026. Quality and staffing measures score well on paper, but that inspection history is the part worth asking about directly.

Rock Hill Post Acute Care Center runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its recent inspection record is genuinely solid: seven deficiencies on file, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 47.1% edges past the national figure of 45.8%, which matters most on weekends when fewer familiar hands are on the floor. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current.

Compass Post Acute Rehabilitation in Conway runs about 3.34 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops another 15 percent below its own weekday levels. That thinner weekend coverage is worth asking about directly, especially if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44.9 percent, essentially matching the national rate, so staffing stability isn't the standout problem here, raw hours are. The inspection record is cleaner than most: three deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent survey in April 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing is the weakest of the three federal ratings.

Manna Post Acute runs 130 beds in Pickens under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the genuine bright spot: 22% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2026, so the picture is recent. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are more middle-of-the-road.

Nhc Healthcare - Garden City runs 148 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 39.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $4,147. A recent inspection and 4/5 ratings on both health inspections and quality measures round out a record that's solid on safety and weaker on daily staffing depth.

Nhc Healthcare - Clinton runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size. At 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the days families visit most are the days with the least help on hand. Staff turnover of 54.2% is nearly nine points above the national figure, which means aides and nurses cycle through faster than residents can get used to them. The record itself is cleaner: five deficiencies, none causing harm, none tied to abuse, and a recent inspection. Quality scores look strong, but those depend on the people who keep leaving.

Nhc Healthcare - Greenville runs 132 beds in Greer under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: three deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in September 2025. Staffing is where the picture narrows. At 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift looks different from a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 41.7% is better than the national figure, meaning the crew is comparatively stable. The tradeoff is thinner daily coverage rather than regulatory trouble.

Morrell Nursing Center sits right at the national average for total nurse staffing, 3.87 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide, though weekends run about 17% thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 27%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The 154-bed for-profit home holds a 4/5 inspection rating with five deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was recent. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating, which reflects resident-level clinical data rather than the hands-on care picture.

Nhc Healthcare - Mauldin runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.73 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends tell a bigger story: coverage drops about 16% below the home's own weekday levels, which is when problems tend to surface. Turnover lands at 42.9%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $7,313. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current. State surveyors rated health inspections 2 out of 5, lower than the staffing and quality scores.

Lakes At Litchfield runs a small house, 24 certified beds in Pawleys Island, and staffs it well above what most homes manage, at 5.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's the number doing the most work here. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below its own weekday level, though, and turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are cycling through. The inspection record is clean at the harm level with four total deficiencies, one tied to abuse. A recent March 2026 inspection and strong survey history offset the quality-measure score, which lands mid-range.

Loris Rehab and Nursing Center runs a for-profit, 88-bed operation in Horry County, and its staffing is the strongest part of the story: 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level. Inspections look clean lately, a 5-out-of-5 health inspection rating, six deficiencies on record, none causing harm or involving abuse, and a February 2026 visit. The weaker signal is quality measures at 2 out of 5, which is worth asking about directly.

Honorage Nursing Center runs leaner on nurse hours than most homes, 3.46 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, about 18% below its own weekday coverage. The tradeoff looks deliberate: staff turnover sits at 38.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are more likely to still be there next year. Six deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and a July 2025 inspection that's recent enough to trust. Corporate-owned and for-profit, so watch the staffing line when you visit; a 5-star inspection history buys goodwill, but thin weekend coverage is the thing families actually feel.

Ridgeway's Pruitthealth runs 150 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 19% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families often visit. Turnover at 41.2% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. The current inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. A 2/5 inspection rating against a 4/5 staffing rating means the care hours look stronger on paper than the survey history does. That gap, not any single number, is what shapes the grade here.

Pruitthealth-North Augusta runs 132 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 19% below its own weekday coverage, so the gap families notice most may be Saturday and Sunday. Turnover is the brighter spot: 36.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than is typical. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Last surveyed April 2025, so the picture is current.

Nhc Healthcare - North Augusta runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, about 3.49 hours per resident per day against a national figure near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 18% below what the building staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters if your family tends to visit Saturday and Sunday. On the plus side, turnover sits at 37.4%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national rate, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Ten deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and a March 2026 inspection keep the regulatory picture fairly clean.

Life Care Center of Columbia runs about 3.46 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 16 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters most when families visit and when problems tend to surface. Annual turnover sits at 54.8 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. The current inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, on a two-out-of-five health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at four stars, but that reflects care processes, not the inspection findings themselves.
