There are eight facilities in Florence, South Carolina, which provides you with a reasonable number of options. The nursing homes here received a strong city grade of B+. This is even more impressive given the number of nursing homes here. We also assessed the facilities in Myrtle Beach, which received a city grade of B-. While this is a respectable score, Florence appears to be a better bet. On top of this, Florence is one of the twenty five highest rated cities in the state of South Carolina. This statistic is a reminder that this state has a long list of cities with high quality facilities.
As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a great overall grade, but we also wanted to point out that some of its facilities received almost flawless health inspections the past few years. We awarded Florence an impressive grade of A in this category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, we also awarded Florence an A in our long-term care rating. In the other categories we looked at, this place received a grade of B+ for its nursing rating and a C in short-term care.
