Summary generated from this facility's CMS inspection, staffing, and enforcement records. Every statement is derived directly from federal data — nothing is estimated or invented.
Most families pick a facility under time pressure — research on hospital discharges finds proximity and immediate availability drive the decision far more than quality ratings do. But once someone moves in, what families say matters most changes: national ombudsman complaint data puts slow responses to requests for help among the top concerns, and satisfaction studies consistently point to staff attitude and communication, food, activities, and residents' autonomy as what separates a good experience from a bad one.
You can't tour those things in an afternoon, but this page holds useful proxies for them:
Based on federal long-term-care ombudsman complaint categories and peer-reviewed family-satisfaction research. How we measure quality
These rates come from clinical assessments (the federal Minimum Data Set) that nursing homes are required to submit for every resident, covering long-stay residents over the most recent reporting period. Lower rates are better for every measure shown here. Use them to ask pointed questions on a tour — for example, how the facility prevents falls or limits antipsychotic use.
Residents who experienced a fall with major injury
Residents with pressure ulcers (bed sores)
Residents who received an antipsychotic medication
Residents who were physically restrained
Residents who lost too much weight
Residents with a urinary tract infection
Residents with a catheter inserted and left in their bladder
Residents with new or worsened bowel or bladder incontinence
Residents who have symptoms of depression
Residents whose need for help with daily activities increased
Residents whose ability to walk independently worsened
Source: CMS quality measures, as of July 2026. Rates reflect resident populations that differ between facilities, so compare them alongside staffing and inspection results rather than in isolation.
Staffing levels are one of the strongest predictors of nursing home quality. These figures are reported by the facility to CMS through payroll records, as hours of care available per resident per day.
Weekend nursing coverage drops about 25% versus a typical weekday at this facility.

Being made to leave — an involuntary discharge or eviction — is the single most common complaint families bring to long-term-care ombudsmen nationwide.
In the last 3 years of inspections, this facility was cited 1 time under federal transfer and discharge requirements — rules covering involuntary transfers or discharges, required notices, and safe transfer planning (most recent: 2023-09-20). For context, the average across all nursing homes in SC is 0.12 such citations per facility over the same period — most have none. The inspection details below have specifics. On a tour, it's fair to ask how many involuntary discharges the facility initiated in the past year and under what circumstances.
