    Unsafe filthy facility, uncaring staff

    I had a family member here and was appalled. Staff were unresponsive-phones/voicemail ignored-and often uncaring, refusing basic care and even yelling at residents. Meals were cold and reduced to PB&J, advertised services and activities were missing, and communication/management was terrible. The facility was unsafe and filthy: feces and urine-soaked mattresses, buckets catching rain, signs of rodents/bugs, trip hazards, tiny closet-like rooms, and residents sometimes locked in. Families were unwelcome-I believe this place should be closed.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the review summaries is strongly negative, with multiple reviewers reporting serious and repeated concerns about care quality, cleanliness, safety, staffing, and management. A consistent theme is neglect: residents are described as not being cared for in a timely or appropriate manner, basic personal care being refused, and medication lists not being kept up to date. Several reviewers describe staff as uncaring, unprofessional, or even abusive (including staff screaming at residents), and many note poor communication with families and difficulty reaching the facility by phone.

    Health and safety hazards are prominent in the complaints. Reports include bodily waste (feces) present on floors, soiled mattresses with urine and missing sheets or mattress pads, rodent (rat) infestation, and bed bugs. Structural issues and maintenance failures are also reported, such as leaking roofs requiring buckets to catch rainwater, trip hazards, non-flush floors, and threshold problems — all of which pose direct safety risks for residents. These conditions, when coupled with claims that rooms are "closet-like," create a picture of a facility that is both physically neglected and inadequate for providing safe, dignified care.

    Dining and daily living supports are also flagged as problematic. Multiple summaries cite cold meals and a severely limited menu (examples include peanut butter and jelly sandwiches served for supper), as well as the absence of advertised amenities such as a beauty salon. Reviewers also reported a lack of observed activities or programming for residents, which contributes to a sense of isolation and poor quality of life. Additionally, basic supplies such as toilet paper were reported to be unavailable in some instances.

    Staffing and management issues are recurrent. Reported long staff shifts (13–15 hours), unresponsiveness to family concerns, misrepresentation by staff, and poor Covid visitation management suggest systemic staffing and administrative failures. Several reviewers stated that families were not welcomed, that residents were locked in rooms, and that phone and voicemail systems were unreliable — all of which point to breakdowns in both policies and daily operations. The combination of understaffing or overworked staff and allegations of indifference or hostility toward residents is cited repeatedly.

    Taken together, the reviews indicate serious, multi-faceted problems at the facility that cover cleanliness, pest control, resident safety, nutrition, staff behavior, communication, and basic operational competence. While a couple of neutral-to-positive logistical notes appear (the facility is in a quiet rural area and is near town and stores), these do not offset the numerous and severe complaints about resident care and safety. The pattern of issues described — including infection and pest concerns, untreated bodily waste, inadequate personal hygiene and bedding, lack of timely medical/medication management, and pervasive communication failures — suggests systemic problems that reviewers believe warrant immediate remediation or regulatory attention.

    About Seneca Residential Care Center

    Seneca Residential Care Center, which also goes by Manor Care, Inc., has served seniors since November 17, 1989 at 126 Tokeena Rd in Seneca, South Carolina, and has gone by several names over the years, but most folks around here know it for its steady presence in old age care, offering many different services for adults at different life stages. The place offers a cozy, medium-sized setup, trying to balance independent living and plenty of help depending on what a resident needs, hosting folks who are still getting around just fine and others who might need more hands-on attention, including memory care, incontinence care, hospice, and even respite care if families need a hand for a short time. Every plan's a little different depending on the person, with help for day-to-day things like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, transfers, and personal care, and there's always someone ready for 24-hour supervision or support, even for two-person transfers or non-ambulatory residents. The staff organizes three fresh-cooked meals every day and watches out for health and diet, accommodating medical diets for diabetes or allergies, and an on-site hairdresser stops in for personal needs while the old restaurant-style dining room keeps residents from feeling boxed in, giving folks a chance to sit, eat, and visit as long as they'd like.

    Rooms come in different setups-private or shared, sometimes as suites with a kitchenette, Wi-Fi, cable, and a phone-so people really can choose what suits them best, and the atmosphere leans toward homey and active with board games, music therapy, daily community events, a library, walks outdoors, a fitness area, and movies too, and vibrant garden paths and a book room right alongside a handy stylist or salon. Exercise and mental wellness programs keep things lively, while transportation gets residents out to doctor's visits, religious activities, or even a quick errand if needed. It's all wheelchair-accessible, and seniors with mobility challenges can get the extra help they require. Families and prospective residents can schedule a tour to meet the staff and see the spaces, which always helps with making a decision.

    The business side's run by Mr. Randy Hammers and is registered with South Carolina's Department of Social Services, with licensing, bonding, and insurance according to state rules, and though the place holds an A+ BBB rating, it's not accredited with them. Payment options include private funds, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance, and the starting price for assisted living is about $3,000 a month, though program changes can affect rates or services now and then. Seneca Residential Care Center tries to shape its care around residents' needs, with structured plans for both physical and emotional support, quick help when it's needed, independence whenever possible, and amenities so seniors won't feel too far from home comforts, though in the end, no place is perfect, but for its size and range of services, it's always busy making sure the essentials are covered for older adults in the Seneca area.
