Myrtle Beach Manor runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.90 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so the floor isn't as steady as the average suggests.
The trouble is what inspections turned up. Eleven deficiencies sit on the current record, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home three times for $27,834 total. The last inspection was November 20, 2025, so the picture is recent.
Strong daily staffing hasn't translated into clean surveys here. Families should ask specifically what those three harm-level findings involved and how they've been corrected.

Lexington Country Place runs 111 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits essentially at the national mark, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That balance is thinner than it looks, though, because weekend coverage drops roughly 6% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 56.8% compared with 45.8% nationally. Inspectors visited recently, in April 2025, and found 10 deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related. The state inspection and quality-measure ratings both land at 3 out of 5, while staffing scores 2. If you're weighing this one, ask how they hold nurse coverage steady on Saturdays and Sundays and how they keep experienced aides from walking out the door.
