Bethea Baptist Healthcare Center

Darlington, SC · Darlington County

CMS 3/588 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.82 /day
Staff turnover
45%
Serious cites
0

Bethea Baptist runs on about 3.82 nurse hours per resident per day, a hair under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing. That thin margin is why its staffing rating sits at the low end even though turnover, at 45.2%, is right at the national average. The health inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated April 2026. Quality measures score at the top of the scale. Ownership is church-affiliated nonprofit, which often means steadier hands than a chain. The picture here is a home that's clinically solid but stretched on direct care hours, especially on weekends.

Morrell Nursing Center

Hartsville, SC · Darlington County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
27%

0

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.

Oakhaven Nursing Center

Nurse hours

Oakhaven's numbers tell a mixed story, and the mix matters. Staffing sits just above the national average at 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, and a 30.9% turnover rate is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, that kind of stability usually means residents see familiar faces. But weekend staffing drops about 23% below weekday levels, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. The health inspection record is clean: one deficiency, none at harm level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was December 2025. The weaker spot is quality measures, which sit well below the inspection and staffing ratings.

Medford Nursing Center

Medford Nursing Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its last inspection in March 2026 turned up five deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse. Staffing fades on weekends, dropping roughly a fifth below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 50.5% versus 45.8% nationally, so the faces change fairly often. The quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 is the weak spot, and it's worth asking what specifically drives that number. A for-profit corporation owns the 88-bed building. The staffing and inspection record look steady; the clinical quality measures and retention are where the questions are.
