    NursingHomeIQ Analysis

    Summary

    Records show this facility is a Special Focus Facility with high staff turnover, an abuse icon designation, and recent immediate jeopardy inspection findings.

    Detailed Analysis

    Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) indicates that this facility has significant performance challenges across multiple domains. The facility carries the 'Abuse Icon,' a public designation highlighting records of resident abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Furthermore, the facility is designated as a Special Focus Facility, meaning it has a documented pattern of poor care and is subject to increased federal oversight. Recent health inspection records show a rise in findings, increasing from 10 to 14 in the most recent cycle. These findings included immediate jeopardy citations related to infection control, feeding tube management, and respiratory care.

    Staffing data reveals structural instability in the workforce. The total nursing turnover rate of 78.8% is among the highest in the region, meaning residents frequently interact with new staff members. Additionally, 21.1% of all nursing care is provided by outside agency or contract staff, including 35.4% of all registered nurse hours. While the facility provides 3.68 hours of total nursing care per resident per day—near the state average of 3.86—the weekend staffing levels drop to 3.29 hours, indicating a decrease in available care during Saturdays and Sundays. The facility was also assessed a federal fine of $41,015 in April 2025. Compared to other facilities in the Yad Healthcare chain, which averages a 1.8-star rating, this location's data profile reflects lower performance metrics in quality measures and health inspections.

    Key Findings

    The facility is designated as a Special Focus Facility, a federal status indicating a history of serious quality issues and more frequent oversight.

    Total nursing staff turnover is 78.8%, which is significantly higher than the South Carolina state average of 47%.

    Four inspection findings reached a 'Severity J' level, indicating situations that caused or were likely to cause immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.

    Performance Trends (24 months)

    This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

    Staffing Deep Dive

    Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
