This state-run facility maintains higher-than-average nursing staffing levels but carries a 1-star overall rating due to multiple high-severity inspection findings, a history of federal fines, and a CMS-issued abuse icon.
The data for this facility reflects a profile of high clinical care hours contrasted by significant regulatory challenges. Records show a 1-star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, driven primarily by health inspection findings. The facility has been flagged with an abuse icon, and recent inspection history includes four findings at the 'J' severity level, which indicates immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety. These findings included failures to protect residents from abuse and neglect. Furthermore, the facility has incurred $228,989 in federal fines and a 16-day denial of payment from Medicare over the last two years.
In terms of staffing, the data indicates a mixed environment. The facility provides 5.68 hours of total nursing care per resident per day, which is higher than the South Carolina state average of 3.86 hours. This includes 1.11 hours of care from registered nurses per resident day. However, total nursing hours decrease by 16% on weekends, and the facility relies on contract staff for 40.5% of its registered nurse hours. Additionally, the facility has reported the departure of two administrators within the most recent reporting period, a metric often associated with leadership instability. While quality measures for long-stay residents are rated at 4 out of 5 stars, the repeated high-severity inspection findings and the presence of the abuse icon represent significant deviations from state and national safety benchmarks.
The facility is currently flagged with the CMS abuse icon, indicating a history of abuse-related inspection findings.
Recent inspections recorded a high-severity finding (Severity J), which signifies immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.
While total nursing care hours of 5.68 per resident per day exceed the state average of 3.86, there is a 16% reduction in nursing care provided during weekends.
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 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.
