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.

Fraser Health Center runs on 5.38 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 39% above the national average, and it's 5-for-5 on CMS's staffing measure. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 28.6%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care at a 33-bed nonprofit. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2025; quality measures rate 4 out of 5. The weaker spot is the 3-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though the low severity of those findings suggests they were mostly paperwork and process issues rather than anything that hurt a resident.

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.

Bishop Gadsden runs 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real gap, not a rounding difference, it means more hands on deck per resident than most homes in the country. Staff turnover sits at 33.9% against a national average of 45.8%, so workers tend to stick around longer here than elsewhere. Weekends run about 10% lighter than weekdays, which is worth knowing if you'll be visiting then. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in April 2025. As a nonprofit, there's no owner extracting profit from the operation.

Nurse staffing at The Arboretum runs 5.75 hours per resident per day, roughly half again what the typical American nursing home provides, and that holds up on weekends, which dip only about 8% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 37.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection came in November 2025, so nothing in the record is stale. The current file shows three deficiencies, none at the level of harm or jeopardy, though two involve abuse. That combination, steady hands on deck, relatively low turnover, recent scrutiny, is what drives the numbers behind its grade, with the abuse citations the piece worth asking about directly.

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.

Spartanburg Hospital For Restorative Care runs just 25 certified beds, and its staffing reflects that small, hospital-linked setup: 6.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 47.8%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, worth asking about if consistency matters to you. The inspection record is otherwise clean: one deficiency total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on November 19, 2025. Government ownership, five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Greenwood Transitional Rehabilitation Unit runs on unusually heavy staffing for its size, 6.34 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 64% more hands-on time. Weekend coverage dips only about 6% below its weekday level, so the difference between a Tuesday and a Saturday here is modest. The home was inspected recently, in June 2025, and came away with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, though one of its four citations is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. With 12 certified beds under corporate ownership, it's small enough that you can reasonably expect to know who's on shift.

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.

Still Hopes Episcopal Retirement Community runs 22 certified beds in West Columbia, and the nurse staffing number stands out: 7.61 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 21% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the floor is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays even though the overall level stays high. The inspection record is clean where it counts, four deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in June 2025. A nonprofit corporation operates it, and both the health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at five stars.

C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center, the state-run home in Columbia, runs its nursing hours well above what most homes manage, about 66% more direct nurse time per resident than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover roughly a quarter lower than typical. That's real. But look at the inspection record and a different picture shows up: six deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, plus nearly $60,000 in fines and a health inspection rating near the bottom. The last full look was April 2025. The quality and staffing scores don't cancel out what inspectors found.

White Oak Manor-Newberry runs 140 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. Weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover is the standout: 28.3% against a national average near 46%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay. The current record shows five deficiencies with none at harm level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth a direct question. Inspectors last visited in April 2025, and all three CMS star categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at four out of five.

Veterans Victory House runs 220 certified beds as a state-run home, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it: a 5-star health inspection rating with just four deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or involving abuse. Staffing tells a more mixed story. At 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 14% lighter than its own weekdays. The tradeoff is retention, 34.6% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than elsewhere. The last inspection was May 2026.

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.

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.

Kershaw Health Karesh Long Term Care sits at 132 certified beds in Camden, run by the county rather than a chain. The staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover is 28.8% against a 45.8% national average, which suggests people stay. But weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, and the inspection record carries five deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus one $19,460 fine. The last inspection was September 2025. Good daily coverage, thinner weekends, and a harm-level citation are the real story here.

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.
