Mountainview Nursing Home: Immediate Jeopardy - SC
The complaint inspection, completed in November 2025, flagged breakdowns across several overlapping safety functions: elopement prevention, door alarm response, door alarm checks, and what the report called "choke alarms." Inspectors also cited deficiencies in fire drills and monitoring of changes in resident condition. The violations affected a small number of residents, but the immediate jeopardy designation signals that inspectors believed the risk of serious harm, or death, was real and present at the time they arrived.
The breadth of the breakdown is notable. Each of those systems, door alarms that alert staff when a resident approaches an exit, routine checks to confirm those alarms are functioning, and drills that prepare staff to respond, is designed to catch what the others miss. When all of them fail at once, a resident who wanders toward an exit may encounter no working alarm, no staff trained to respond, and no functioning backstop.
The facility submitted a corrective plan requiring weekly audits of each failure area, followed by monthly monitoring for three months, with results reported to its quality committee. The date of compliance listed in the report is November 5, 2025, two days before the inspection itself was recorded, a sequencing that the report does not explain.
What the report does not say is whether any resident walked out. It does not say whether anyone was hurt. The immediate jeopardy finding means inspectors concluded the conditions were serious enough that harm was likely. Whether it had already happened is a question the document leaves open.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
