No change of ownership on CMS record since January 1, 2016, when the records begin.

Position within SC

No citations on file — none of the 187 certified nursing homes in SC has fewer. Compared within SC rather than nationally because which state a facility is in explains about 30% of the variation in citation counts between facilities, while bed count explains under 1%. State survey agencies differ far more than the buildings do. How this is calculated

When is the next survey likely?

Well past the typical window (August 2025 to April 2026), and past the point by which nine in ten SC facilities have been surveyed. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was July 2024. Facilities in SC are typically surveyed 13–21 months after the last one (median 15), measured over 286 consecutive surveys in the last two years of CMS records.

A range the record supports, not a prediction of a date. State agencies vary widely — from about 11 months in Pennsylvania to three years in Maryland. How the window is measured
