How To Find A Nursing Home In South Carolina For A Loved One?

One of the best resources and starting places is the Medicare website. There you can search for providers by type (i.e. nursing homes) and even narrow it down to a specific geographical location. When you go to the website look for the Providers & Services drop-down menu on the top right.

Then click on the find care providers, where you will then have the option to type in your desired location, provider type, and even keywords. Most families prefer to have their loved one at a location close to family for ease of visitations, so we recommend you start with the name of the city/town and provider type and then click on the search button.

Once you click on the search button the next page will display all nursing homes within 25 miles of the location you chose. You can change the mileage from 5 miles to 200 miles, but 25 miles is usually a good place to start. You will see all the names of the nursing homes within your preferred distance, the address for each, and overall rating based on a 5-star system. By default, the nursing homes are listed in order closest to the location. At this point you can then filter by overall rating, other ratings, number of certified beds, or view all filters.

Once the list of providers populates you can then click on a particular provider to further inquire into the providers ratings and other important details. The ratings include overall rating, as well as health inspections ratings, staffing ratings, and quality measures ratings.
