This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 55% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 6 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.
Carlyle Senior Care of Florence faces severe criticism regarding cleanliness, facility maintenance, and the quality of patient care. While a few reviewers report positive experiences with specific staff members following recent management changes, the majority of feedback highlights alarming issues including poor hygiene, neglect, and inadequate communication with families.

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.
