PruittHealth - Orangeburg

PruittHealth - Orangeburg is a nursing and rehabilitation center with 88 certified beds, and it's been serving people in the area for more than 50 years, offering a mix of skilled nursing services, short-term rehab, long-term care, memory and dementia care, and specialized programs like Home First and Therapy Services, with care in physical, occupational, and speech therapy and even treatments like IV therapy, pain management, and wound care, and you'll see they have things like an activities director, beauty and barber shop, a card and game room, a fitness center with rehab equipment for seniors, and a dining area with wooden tables and chairs, plus private rooms set up with a single bed, wooden furniture, and warm lighting, and there's a resident lounge, laundry and housekeeping for comfort, and a patio outside with a picnic table and umbrella for soaking up sun and fresh air. The staff provides advanced nursing care and keeps families updated on how residents are doing, and for over fifty years the focus has been on helping patients recover and return home when possible, or be comfortable if staying long-term, and while they do have a reputation for high-quality, compassionate care, it's important to know that the center had 20 inspection deficiencies on the last report, including issues with pharmacy labeling and storage, food that wasn't always kept at safe temperatures or handled according to standards, and violations in infection control rules, with several of those deficiencies affecting many people and marked at a serious level, and they're owned directly by United Health Services Of South Carolina Inc., managed by PruittHealth Inc. since 2008, and there are several trusts in their ownership. Their nurse turnover rate is at 43.9%, which is a bit lower than the state average, and nurse staffing works out to 3.39 nurse hours per resident each day, a bit below the state standard of 3.8 nurse hours. PruittHealth - Orangeburg also has a Skilled Nursing Payment Portal for billing, provides visitation for families, and offers extra health and therapy services including Hospice & Palliative Care, Senior & Assisted Living, and Personal Care, all while holding recognition like the American Health Care Association Bronze Quality Award, though, as with anywhere, it's worth paying attention to both the positive side of services and the problems that have come up in state inspections.
