Senior Care in South Carolina — Independent Report Cards
342 nursing homes, home-health agencies, hospices and assisted-living communities in South Carolina — 330 graded from public regulatory data. We take $0 from any facility we grade.
How these grades work. Every grade is computed from a fixed public rubric — safety inspections, staffing, clinical outcomes, enforcement actions and financial stability — using government data. No facility can pay to change its grade or placement. Providers with under 30% rubric coverage are shown as "Listed" with no letter grade rather than pretending thin data is comparable.
