Life Care Center Of Columbia has been cited for a total of 50 deficiencies since we began saving each survey. We believe it is worthwhile to show how things are and were. Some improve and some get worse. Rather than a snapshot, we take s longer view than most. A longer view, we believe, paints a better and more worthwhile picture. We start from them most recent and go back as you scroll down.

Tip: Surveys happen throughout the year and you may want to check with the location or here to see if more recent data is available for Life Care Center Of Columbia.

Since we bagan longer term (multi year tracking, numbers will naturally be higher than 3 (or so surverys).
There are 198 nursing homes in South Carolina with a total of 5,787 deficiencies resulting in an average of 29.23 deficiencies per nursing home.

Additionally, A through F means no actual harm has happened.
