These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 56% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 7 findings, above the SC average of 3.7. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Anchor Post Acute receives highly polarized feedback, with families frequently praising the facility's physical cleanliness and the effectiveness of the physical and occupational therapy teams. However, a significant number of reviewers report severe concerns regarding understaffing, poor communication, and neglectful nursing care, particularly regarding hygiene, medication management, and responsiveness to call lights.

Key Review Excerpts
“The OTs and PTs were extremely helpful in getting me mobile again. Took their time to show me how to maneuver stairs and issues I faced in rural environment.”
“The CNA’s do not care about you. Your light will be on for hours, they come in ask you what you need, turn your light off and ignore you.”
“My grandmother has had to be at Anchor twice now. The only major complaint she has had is that she’s ready to come home. The atmosphere is very subtle with, of course, the occasional hollering for escape from a few patients.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 3 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
