    Friendly staff, concerning clinical care

    I was warmly welcomed by hardworking, friendly staff - orientation (KJ/Marlette/Molly) was organized, engaging and fun, therapy and activities stood out, and it often felt family-like and like a great place to work. However, I'm also aware of serious, recurring care concerns reported by others: long call-bell delays, medication and wound-care issues, bedsores, inconsistent cleanliness and chronic understaffing. I appreciate the staff's dedication but would verify clinical care and management before placing a loved one.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews for Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation is highly mixed but trends toward serious concerns about nursing care quality and facility operations, tempered by repeated, strong praise for the therapy department and certain individual staff members or onboarding processes. Two clear and contrasting patterns emerge: (1) a frequently lauded therapy program (PT/OT/respiratory) and an engaging, supportive orientation/onboarding experience, and (2) chronic operational problems centered on staffing, basic nursing care, cleanliness, safety, and communication that lead many reviewers to explicitly warn others to avoid the facility.

    Care quality and patient safety: A large proportion of reviewers report neglectful nursing care—examples include residents left in urine or stool for hours, failure to bathe or change briefs, bedsores and wounds not treated per physician orders, missed or delayed medications, broken beds/bedrails, and residents falling while waiting for assistance. Several reviewers described falls that resulted in ER visits, allegations of elder abuse or medical malpractice, and at least one report of a resident who died under circumstances family members attribute to neglect. These are not isolated comments: the volume and consistency of similar accounts (bedsores, long call-bell delays, inadequate wound care) indicate systemic problems affecting resident safety and basic care standards.

    Staffing, turnover, and culture: Many reviews cite severe understaffing—some specify extremely high resident-to-CNA ratios (20–25:1)—and frequent staff turnover as root causes for delayed assistance, poor hygiene care, and mistakes. This staffing pressure appears linked to staff burnout and negative attitudes noted by families and some employees. Nonetheless, reviewers repeatedly single out particular CNAs, nurses, therapists, and trainers as compassionate, hardworking, and willing to go above and beyond when staffing permits. The result is a very uneven resident experience driven by who is on duty. Several reviewers allege that management policies prioritize staff retention or convenience over patient needs, and multiple reports claim leadership is unresponsive, unreachable, or provides inconsistent information.

    Therapy, respiratory, and clinical specialty strengths: By contrast with nursing complaints, the therapy department receives consistent high praise. PT/OT staff are frequently called “the best in the area,” credited with meaningful rehabilitation outcomes, and described as a key reason families would recommend the facility for short-term rehab. The facility's subacute respiratory capabilities (trach/vent care and 24/7 respiratory therapist) are noted as strengths in a smaller subset of reviews, indicating that Millennium can provide high-level, specialized care when resources and staff are in place.

    Facilities, cleanliness, and safety hazards: Multiple reviews describe poor cleanliness—dirty bedding, floors not swept, unsanitary bathrooms, and lingering odors. There are also troubling reports about construction/renovation issues: work halted but leaving hanging window frames, exposed wood, and other safety hazards along with alleged safety-code violations. Equipment failures (broken beds, inoperative call buttons) and delayed maintenance reports compound safety concerns. That said, some reviewers describe the building as clean and organized, highlighting again the unevenness of experiences across units and shifts.

    Dining, hospitality, and activities: Dining receives mostly negative feedback—meals described as cold, stale, or “jail-like,” with some reports that residents do not receive assistance to eat. Conversely, activities and hospitality are praised by other reviewers: an active calendar of events, weekly celebrations, and social engagement are mentioned as positive elements by families and staff. This split suggests that while social programming and certain hospitality functions can be well-run, core clinical services and meal quality are less consistent.

    Management, communication, and administration: Communication with families and clinical coordination are frequently criticized. Examples include lost or delayed records, misinformation from social workers or care managers, delayed discharge planning, failure to provide DME, billing errors, and lost personal items. Several reviews contain direct accusations of falsified documentation and manipulation of positive reviews. In contrast, onboarding and HR receive many positive comments—new hires report informative, fun, and organized orientation run by specific trainers—and some reviewers describe approachable leadership and an open, family-like atmosphere. This split indicates managerial strengths in staffing development and HR but weaknesses in clinical oversight, complaint resolution, and transparency with families.

    Notable patterns and recommendations: The most significant pattern is the dichotomy between excellent therapy/rehab services and inconsistent or poor nursing/homecare services. Prospective residents and families should weigh the facility’s strong rehabilitation and respiratory capabilities against repeated reports of understaffing, missed basic care, safety hazards, and poor communication. For short-term rehabilitation patients whose primary need is therapy and who can tolerate some risk, Millennium’s therapy team may provide good outcomes. For long-term placement, patients with high nursing care needs, or vulnerable residents dependent on consistent hygiene, wound care, medication administration, and fall prevention, the quantity and severity of negative reports are concerning.

    Actionable areas for the facility (as suggested by reviewers): urgently address staffing levels and scheduling to reduce call-bell delays; improve clinical oversight for wound care and medication administration; resolve outstanding safety hazards from stalled renovations and ensure compliance with safety codes; strengthen laundry, housekeeping, and dietary services; and increase transparency and responsiveness to families, including better discharge planning and honest communication. Simultaneously, preserve and support the high-performing therapy teams and the strong orientation/HR practices that reviewers consistently praise.

    In summary, Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation presents a mixed picture: a facility with notable strengths in therapy, respiratory care, and staff training contrasted with systemic problems in nursing care, staffing, cleanliness, and safety for some residents. The variance in experiences is large—some families report excellent, attentive care and rehabilitation success while others report neglect, injury, or worse. Families should visit in person, ask specific questions about staffing ratios on the intended unit and shift, inspect cleanliness and safety conditions, review recent inspection reports for code violations, and seek concrete assurances about wound care, fall prevention, medication administration, and discharge planning before deciding on placement.

    About Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation

    Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation sits over on 2416 Sunset Blvd. in West Columbia, South Carolina, and it's a skilled nursing home facility with 132 licensed beds, offering both private and semi-private rooms, so there's some choice for folks when it comes to where they'll stay, and the place tends to have about 117 residents on any given day, which makes it a pretty busy spot run by Adam Willits as manager with Mr. Drew McQuillen leading the management team; the ownership belongs entirely to Hopewell Healthcare, Inc., and The Ensign Group is also affiliated. People come here for a range of needs, including short-term post-acute rehab and long-term skilled nursing care, and the place meets federal Medicare and Medicaid requirements, so coverage options may fit many situations.

    The team offers 4.21 nursing hours per resident, which is more than the state average, and the staff count hovers around 150 employees, but there's a higher turnover rate for nurses, about 57.3%, compared to the state's 48.3%, so faces may change a bit over time. Residents receive round-the-clock nursing supervision by licensed professionals, and physicians oversee medical aspects, with hospital-like medical care on site, drug storage, and dispensing handled in-house. Some citations in recent inspections show areas the facility's working on, like providing enough food and fluids, keeping areas free from hazards and making sure care matches up with doctor's orders and resident preferences, plus there've been some infection-related deficiencies documented, so those are important things to look up before choosing.

    Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation provides in-house therapy services, including state-of-the-art and hands-on approaches, and personalized care plans are made together with families and healthcare providers, with the focus really on post-acute rehab to help folks regain strength and mobility, whether after a hospital stay or during their longer term care needs. There's a packed activity calendar, with all sorts of programs from morning through evening, including excursions to help residents stay engaged and active and a range of activities to suit various interests. Amenities go beyond medical care, including housekeeping, laundry, and nutritious, satisfying menus, with well-appointed accommodations and beautifully landscaped grounds that aim to make it feel comfortable, though it's still a healthcare setting at its core.

    The facility supports Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity standards, gets an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and has a map plus directions on their website for easier access for visitors. The environment aims to be welcoming and supportive, with staff dedicated to giving patient-focused, comprehensive rehabilitative care according to each resident's needs and doctor's goals. People needing assistance with daily living activities-like bathing, dressing, and eating-will find support here. Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation puts a lot of effort into post-hospital recovery and long-term care, and the aim is always to make the journey as safe, comfortable, and steady as possible, even as the facility addresses and works through any cited deficiencies to maintain quality for its residents.
