Faith Healthcare Center sits at 617 W. Marion Street in Florence, SC, where it offers skilled nursing care and several other services for seniors who might need help after a hospital stay, illness, or surgery, and the place has 104 certified beds with around 96 people usually living there each day, so it's busy and there's always something going on, and the community welcomes everyone regardless of background or condition, including those living with HIV or AIDS, and folks can find short-term rehab, memory care, independent and assisted living, and access to home care, home health, hospice, and support services, so it's got a little bit for everyone. In terms of rooms, the living spaces come furnished with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, and telephones, and there are common areas like a community room, business room, arts room, library, activity spaces, game room, fitness room, spa/sauna/wellness area, and there's even a movie theater, so residents don't have to worry about what to do with their free time, plus there's Wi-Fi and housekeeping to help keep things comfortable. You'll find landscaped gardens and walking paths outside, and scheduled activities, movie nights, and resident-led events keep things moving along every day, while family support, move-in help, and transportation services make transitions easier. Meals are provided and they're ready to handle different diets, like diabetes or allergies, but there have been issues reported about nutrition and food storage in the past, though no one was actually harmed from these problems, but potential was there for someone to get hurt if things didn't improve, and they've got a nurse turnover rate a bit higher than the state average, with fewer nurse hours per resident than you'd find in many places, though there's still 12 to 16-hour nursing coverage and a 24-hour call system if anyone needs help.
Now, like any place of this size, some things haven't gone perfectly-inspectors found violations about resident rights and infection control, including not always letting folks manage their own medications or meeting everyone's preferences, and there was an infection control deficiency noted in an inspection from February 2025, so that's something people should be aware of, because health and rights do matter. The place is run by Fundamental Healthcare and calls itself a non-profit, and the team says they're aiming for patient-centered care, with support from both resident and family councils to talk about problems and try to make things better. There are COVID-19 policies requiring visitors to wear face coverings, complete temperature checks and health screenings, and sign in, with indoor visits decided partly by government rules, vaccination rates, and virus activity in the area, and community updates also go out on a Facebook page. People can pay with Medicare or Medicaid, and there's help available for things like getting dressed, bathing, and handling medicines. There's a focus on skilled nursing, but also intermediate care for folks who can't do everything themselves, and support for going home again is part of their rehab program. There's always room for improvement, especially in infection control and respecting resident choices, but the basics are covered here, and most core services for seniors are provided in a straightforward way, so it's a place that tries to cover all the most needed care and support, though issues have happened and are something to keep in mind when considering it.
