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?
The window is open now: February 2026 to October 2026. This facility’s last Life Safety survey was January 2025. 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
A clean record — put the badge on your website
3 Life Safety surveys in the CMS window, no citations. The badge below is drawn from the CMS file each month and links to this page, so it stays true on its own: it says what the public record says, nothing more. It is offered only while the record has no citations, at least two surveys, and a survey in the last 24 months.

Physical environment (health survey)
1 physical-environment citation on the health survey — nothing on the Life Safety survey itself. Cited by the health surveyors under Appendix PP, not the Life Safety Code surveyor: equipment in safe operating condition, the call system, bed rails, pest control, hazards, the environment. Counted separately from the 0 Life Safety citations above. The Physical Environment Index
- F-0584 Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
How that compares
