Iva Post Acute sits at 406 W. Broad St in Iva, South Carolina, and serves people who need help after surgery, illness, or injury, offering both rehabilitation and long-term care, and with 60 licensed beds and an average of 57 residents each day, the place is about the size you'd expect in a small town, and while they say their main focus is on comfort and making things feel home-like-letting folks bring personal items, encouraging family visits, and all that-they've also got services for skilled nursing, activities, social support, and therapies meant to help people get their strength and independence back. The team, led by Lydia Miller, works with residents on individualized care plans, which means the staff figures out what each person needs to recover or live as well as possible, and usually that's done with input from lots of professionals, so there's a kind of team approach to it.
Now, there are a few things folks ought to know-inspection reports show a total of 8 deficiencies, including one related to infections and some serious Quality of Life and Care issues, like trouble providing safe dialysis care and using feeding tubes when residents didn't need them or didn't agree to them, plus a Resident Rights problem about letting people know about Medicaid or Medicare coverage and possible costs. The nurse turnover rate is high at 70.4%, and the average nurse works just under 3 hours per resident per day, which is something people might want to think about if they're looking for steady caregivers. Ownership goes through Palmetto Community Healthcare, LLC, holding all of it, but indirectly there's a connection to Pacs Group, Inc. and some other companies and individuals like Mark Hancock and Jason Murray, though nobody's given details on how staff or management's run the place day-to-day. The facility does its best to help people stay as comfortable as possible, provides different levels of care depending on what's needed, and maintains a homey setting, and for some, that's the most important part. Amenities and services offer daily help and keep folks active when possible, but the inspection history and staffing situation are worth considering if you're looking at Iva Post Acute for yourself or someone you care about.
