Local nursing home misses report deadline

The Seneca Health and Rehabilitation Center was among 10 South Carolina nursing homes fined by the state for missing a reporting deadline.  South Carolina DHEC documents show that the facility near Seneca paid a $250 civil penalty to satisfy the state health agency for the failure to submit a weekly visitation report by the mandatory deadline.  Failure to submit such reports, according to DHEC, violates the department’s October 7, 2020 public health order that requires all nursing homes and community residential care facilities to send a weekly report on their visitation status.
