C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Columbia, South Carolina, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 425074. 252-bed facility. Government - State. Part of the South Carolina Department Of Mental Health chain. The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.
C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 55 years (certification date on file: 1970-09-25). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.
Local market context (Richland County): C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone operates in Richland County alongside 13 other Medicare-certified SNFs in our South Carolina cohort sample. Multi-facility counties create direct cohort comparison pressure — hospital discharge planners typically run side-by-side Care Compare lookups before placement decisions.
CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.
Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★☆ (4 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.
Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.
Abuse Icon present: CMS has applied the Abuse Icon to C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone's Care Compare listing. The icon flags facilities cited for substantiated abuse, neglect, exploitation, or misappropriation findings under the F600-series Long-Term Care Resident Rights and Abuse / Neglect F-tags within the most recent two survey cycles, where citations met the scope-and-severity threshold defined in CMS Care Compare's Five-Star Quality Rating Methodology. The icon stays in place until the facility completes a full survey cycle with no further qualifying citations.
Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 5. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. In its most recent reporting cycle, C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone received 3 CMS fines totaling $228,989. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-05-15. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.
C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone has no infection-control citations (F-tag 880 family) in the most recent CMS survey window. The infection-control regulation at 42 CFR 483.80 requires a written infection prevention and control program (IPCP) and an antibiotic stewardship program; absence of recent citations does not imply absence of IPCP findings on earlier surveys.
CMS health survey weighted score: 102.25. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.
Payment denials for new admissions in the most recent CMS reporting window: 1. Denial-of-payment-for-new-admissions (DPNA) is one of the enforcement remedies CMS uses under 42 CFR 488.417. It is typically imposed when a facility has been cited at scope and severity levels of F or higher and fails to substantially comply by the date specified in the certification notice.
Total enforcement penalties assessed in the most recent reporting window: $4. This figure aggregates Civil Money Penalties (CMPs), DPNA-equivalent revenue impacts, and other monetary remedies under 42 CFR Part 488 Subpart F.
C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone already meets the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2027 timeline under 89 FR 40876 (RN 1.003 HPRD vs the 0.55 floor; nurse-aide 2.875 HPRD vs the 2.45 floor). The constraint going forward is sustaining these levels under turnover pressure.
Total nurse staffing: 5.215 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 1.73 hours above the 3.48 total HPRD floor that the CMS Minimum Staffing Standards rule (89 FR 40876, May 2024) phases in for non-rural facilities by May 2027.
Staffing mix: RN 1.003 HPRD, LPN 1.337 HPRD, CNA 2.875 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2027 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.
Weekend RN staffing: 0.461 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.
Administrator turnover events in the most recent reporting window: 2. Multiple administrator changes in a 12-month window is associated with substantial leadership-discontinuity risk during the next standard survey.
C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center Fewell And Stone is operated as part of South Carolina Department Of Mental Health, a chain operating 5 Medicare-certified facilities (CMS chain identifier 839).

Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.
The facility is classified by CMS as urban (within a metropolitan statistical area). Urban SNFs typically face higher acuity post-acute admissions, more competitive labor markets, and stricter local-jurisdiction infection control requirements layered on top of federal CoPs.
