L.M.C.- Extended Care
815 Old Cherokee Road, Lexington, SC 29072
L.M.C.- Extended Care holds a 3-star overall rating, a number complicated by staffing that outpaces the national average while other key measures lag. However, the facility reports 41% nursing turnover, a rate better than the national average, suggesting staff may stay longer, but residents are falling more often with major injuries.
Presbyterian Home Of South Carolina-Columbia
700 Davega Drive, Lexington, SC 29073
Presbyterian Home Of South Carolina-Columbia holds a 2-star overall rating, with its health inspection score matching that low mark, creating a significant tension with its 4-star ratings in staffing and quality measures. Your mother can press the call button at 2 AM and have confidence someone is coming, with registered nurse coverage 1.45 hours per resident daily, far exceeding the national average and meaning complex changes get caught quickly.
Retreat at Wellmore of Lexington
200 Wellmore Drive, Lexington, SC 29072
The Retreat at Wellmore of Lexington has strong health inspection scores and a good overall 4-star rating, but that masks a troubling gap between reported staffing and resident outcomes. While the facility *reports* 4-star staffing, you can press the call button and someone will come, the actual numbers for RN hours per resident are slightly below the national average, a gap that matters.
NHC Healthcare - Lexington
2993 Sunset Blvd, West Columbia, SC 29169
NHC Healthcare - Lexington brings a 4.0-star CMS rating, above-average staffing (4.0/5), high quality measure scores (5.0/5), 0.60 RN hours per resident daily, and no federal fines on record.
Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation
2416 Sunset Boulevard, West Columbia, SC 29169
Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation shows a significant disconnect between its strong resident outcomes on quality measures and its critically low scores in health inspections and staffing. However, registered nurse hours are less than half the recommended amount, and the bedsore rate is more than triple the national average because residents aren't turned over frequently enough.

300 Agape Drive, West Columbia, SC 29169
Opus Post Acute Rehabilitation carries a 3-star federal rating, but digging deeper reveals a facility where care quality feels inconsistent. They prescribe antipsychotics at a rate well below national averages, but this is countered by a higher-than-average use of sedatives and sleep medications, suggesting a shift in how symptoms are managed rather than reduced medication use.
Still Hopes Episcopal Retirement Community
1 Still Hopes Drive, West Columbia, SC 29169
