Penalties

- Jul 25, 2024 · Federal fine$16,801
Federal fines follow the most serious or repeated problems. A payment denial stops Medicare and Medicaid paying for new admissions — in practice, a pause on new admissions; residents already there are not affected by it.

What you can do
Questions to ask on a tour, from this record
- Inspectors found residents were harmed on Feb 20, 2025 (Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents). What changed afterwards, and who is responsible for it now?
- The home was penalised on Feb 20, 2025. What was the problem, and is it fixed?
- The ownership changed recently. What has the new owner changed — staff, management, services?
- May I see your most recent inspection report? (Nursing homes must keep it where residents and visitors can read it.)
- How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
If your family member already lives here
Raise concerns with the administrator or director of nursing first, in writing if they're serious. If that doesn't resolve them, the free, independent Long-Term Care Ombudsman can help: Catawba Area Agency on Aging, 803-329-9670. You can also file a complaint with the SC Department of Public Health at 1-800-922-6735. If someone is in danger now, call 911.
