Our read on The Lodge At Wellmore- Tega Cay

The Lodge at Wellmore in Tega Cay runs 4.74 nursing hours per resident per day, about 23% above the national average of 3.86, and its staffing and quality measure ratings both come in at 5 out of 5. Staff turnover sits at 29.5%, well below the national 45.8%, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The catch is the inspection record: seven deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus three fines totaling $35,403, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Strong daily care numbers and a thin margin for error on compliance can both be true.
