Nursing Homes in Florence, SC.

Faith Healthcare Center

617 West Marion Street, Florence, SC 29501

Decent. Faith Healthcare Center brings low staff turnover (36%) — Palmelle trust score 19/100. There are 1 federal fine(s) on record — no date context, so worth asking about directly. Worth asking: Registered nurse hours are 0.32 per resident per day — below the recommended minimum of 0.75 hours. RNs are responsible for clinical assessments and oversight. Low RN coverage is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and missed diagnoses. Worth asking: Long-stay antianxiety / sleep medication rate is 31%. This category often shifts up when antipsychotic prescribing is restricted — different drug class, same effect on the resident. Worth asking the facility's prescribing rate for both classes side by side. Worth asking: Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 12.2% — well above the national median of about 7%. Pressure ulcers form when staff don't reposition residents every two hours. This is a staffing-and-attention signal as much as a clinical one. Worth asking what the repositioning schedule looks like. Worth asking: Unplanned weight loss rate is 11.3% — above the national median of about 6%. In long-stay facilities this is almost always a feeding-assistance failure: residents who need help eating aren't getting it, especially at dinner when staffing thins. Worth asking how dinner-hour staffing compares to lunch. Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 0.5% — well below the national median. Call lights are getting answered fast and aides are present during transfer-heavy hours. This is a hard number to keep low.

There are 1 federal fine(s) on record — no date context, so worth asking about directly. Worth asking: This facility has received 1 federal fine(s) but still shows a 4.0-star overall rating. Federal penalties are serious — they indicate violations found during inspections. A high rating alongside recent penalties warrants extra scrutiny. Worth asking: Long-stay antianxiety / sleep medication rate is 26%. This category often shifts up when antipsychotic prescribing is restricted — different drug class, same effect on the resident. Worth asking the facility's prescribing rate for both classes side by side.

Heritage Home Of Florence Inc

515 South Warley Street, Florence, SC 29501

Decent. Heritage Home Of Florence Inc brings above-average staffing (4.0/5), and no federal fines on record — Palmelle trust score 34/100.

High staffing ratings with poor resident outcomes suggest the staffing numbers may not reflect the quality of care residents actually receive. Worth asking: Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 12.9% — well above the national median of about 7%. Pressure ulcers form when staff don't reposition residents every two hours. This is a staffing-and-attention signal as much as a clinical one. Worth asking what the repositioning schedule looks like. Worth asking: Unplanned weight loss rate is 11.0% — above the national median of about 6%. In long-stay facilities this is almost always a feeding-assistance failure: residents who need help eating aren't getting it, especially at dinner when staffing thins. Worth asking how dinner-hour staffing compares to lunch. Worth asking: Mobility-decline rate is 23.9% — meaning that share of long-stay residents lost ability to move between measurements (above the national median of about 17%). High decline suggests no PT/OT program or no daily walking — residents are being allowed to become bed-bound. Worth asking what the rehab and activities calendar actually looks like. Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 0.3% — well below the national median. Call lights are getting answered fast and aides are present during transfer-heavy hours. This is a hard number to keep low.

711 South Dargan Street, Florence, SC 29506

Mixed. Southland Health Care Center has 1 federal fine(s) on record and a Palmelle trust score of 53/100. We don't have date context on those fines, so ask when they visit. Worth asking: Long-stay antipsychotic rate is just 5% — well below the national median of about 14%. This facility is treating behavior and dementia symptoms with engagement, environmental design, and personalized routines instead of prescriptions. That's hard to do and rare to find.

Worth asking what specific behaviors the medication is targeting and what non-medication options were tried first.

Decent. Lake City Scranton Healthcare Center brings a 4.0-star CMS rating, strong inspection scores (4.0/5), high quality measure scores (4.0/5), low staff turnover (34%), and no federal fines on record — Palmelle trust score 64/100. Worth asking: Registered nurse hours are 0.32 per resident per day — below the recommended minimum of 0.75 hours. RNs are responsible for clinical assessments and oversight. Low RN coverage is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and missed diagnoses. Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 5.6% — above the national median of about 3%. A spike usually means call lights aren't getting answered fast enough or the facility is short on aides during transfer-heavy hours like mealtimes. Worth asking how long the call-light response window is during evening shifts. Worth asking: Unplanned weight loss rate is 11.2% — above the national median of about 6%. In long-stay facilities this is almost always a feeding-assistance failure: residents who need help eating aren't getting it, especially at dinner when staffing thins. Worth asking how dinner-hour staffing compares to lunch. Worth asking: Long-stay depressive-symptoms rate is 36.4% — above the national median of about 10%. Often indicates residents are alone in rooms with no activities program or social engagement. Pairs with mobility decline. Worth asking how many group activities residents actually attend per week. Worth asking: Annual nursing staff turnover is 34% — well below the industry average of 50-60%. The same caregivers are coming back week after week, which means residents see familiar faces who know their preferences and history. Continuity of care is one of the biggest invisible quality signals.
