Patewood Post-Acute sits at 2 Griffith Road in Greenville, SC, and the facility has had recent renovations to make things more comfortable and easier for people to get around, with wide hallways and updated rooms. Folks here can get short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, and even hospice care for those who need comfort at the end of life. A lot of care comes from skilled nurses, including RNs, LVNs, and CNAs, who are there 24 hours a day. Physicians, therapists, and social services join in too, making sure every resident has a team looking after them. People recover with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and you'll see a big therapy gym with new equipment, all under the care of licensed experts.
There's help with dressing, bathing, eating, and other daily living needs, plus special programs for wounds, with wound care nurses around for things like pressure ulcers or diabetic wounds. Safety and infection control stay in focus, with PPE like N95 masks and a dedicated infection prevention nurse watching out for everyone, especially with patients who have high-acuity or infectious diseases. The building is kept clean by a housekeeping crew, and you'll notice good maintenance since staff fix things, take care of the grounds, and handle repairs as they come up.
Everyone talks about the inviting common areas, which include a garden room, spacious courtyards, a club room, a movie theater, a chapel, and a lunchroom with art on the walls, all encouraging visits and gathering with neighbors. Staff bring out activities and social events to help folks stay active and connected. The dietary team serves up meals and snacks tailored to what each resident can eat, and people often say the food's good and the environment stays clean and cheerful.
Orientation happens quickly when new folks arrive-there are representatives from Dietary, Activities, Therapy, and Discharge Planning who meet each new patient within the first 24 hours to help settle in. Support runs strong with a business office that helps with finances or paperwork, a front desk open on weekdays, and admission support available at any time. Patewood Post-Acute runs under a leadership team known for its focus on staff and patient care, and they keep adapting to staffing shortages by working with local nursing schools and offering good wages to draw in the right people.
The whole place operates with a vision to be the top skilled nursing facility in the community, but they focus on developing a nurturing, supportive environment that feels like a true transition between hospital and home. There's always a personal touch, with plans set up for every resident to help them regain independence and address not just physical needs but also social, spiritual, and emotional ones. Tour options include a virtual video and photo walkthrough, so families can look inside before visiting. Russell Evatt leads as the administrator.
