What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5

The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.

Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · May 1, 2026 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.

Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.

Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.

Corrected: May 20, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · May 1, 2026 · F-0684 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.

Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.

Corrected: May 20, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 25, 2026 · F-0627

The facility did not make sure a transfer or discharge met the resident's needs and preferences, or did not properly prepare the resident to leave safely.

Why it matters: A rushed or poorly planned move can leave a resident somewhere that can't meet their needs.

Corrected: Mar 18, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Oct 23, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.

Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.

Corrected: Nov 15, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Oct 23, 2024 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.

Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.

Corrected: Nov 15, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

Measure	This facility	South Carolina avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	3.07	4.08	3.95	bottom 4% in South Carolina; bottom 16% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.41	0.67	0.69	bottom 25% in South Carolina; bottom 24% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	2.79	3.55	3.50	bottom 11% in South Carolina; bottom 20% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.16	0.41	0.48	bottom 6% in South Carolina; bottom 6% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	52.2	45.9	45.8	bottom 32% in South Carolina; bottom 31% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	50.0	42.1	42.9	bottom 38% in South Carolina; bottom 39% in the U.S.

Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 2.85, RN 0.38, weekend 2.58. Staffing rating: 1/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
