    Filthy, unsafe facility despite care

    I placed a loved one here because they offer housing for people who can't care for themselves and the doctors and nurse practitioners provide holistic care, and a few staff are helpful. But the facility is dilapidated and filthy - dirty bathrooms and unsafe for walkers - and staff are often absent or neglectful; I've seen residents wander off and even fight with no intervention. Overall, despite some good medical support, it feels unsafe and unacceptable, and oversight (DHEC) seems ineffective.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the provided reviews is sharply mixed, with a clear split between reports praising the facility's interpersonal care and reports raising serious safety, cleanliness, and oversight concerns. Several reviewers describe a family-oriented atmosphere, helpful staff, and comprehensive medical attention from doctors and nurse practitioners, stating that some residents thrive in the setting. At the same time, other reviewers describe conditions that they consider unsafe and neglectful, pointing to filthy bathrooms, a dilapidated building, and instances where staff are absent or fail to intervene in dangerous situations.

    Care quality and staff: Reviews present contrasting portrayals of caregiving. Positive comments emphasize a supportive, family-like culture and holistic clinical involvement — specifically, doctors and nurse practitioners who provide care beyond basic custodial support. Some families explicitly say residents thrive under that model. Conversely, multiple severe negative reports indicate neglectful behavior by staff, instances in which staff were not present in the building, and failures to intervene when residents were in danger or harming one another. These opposing accounts suggest inconsistent staffing performance or significant variability in the resident experience depending on time, unit, or individual staff members.

    Facility condition and safety: Several reviews call out substantial physical and safety problems. Specific complaints include filthy common areas and bathrooms and a generally dilapidated facility environment. Safety-related allegations are prominent: residents reportedly wandering away (an elopement risk), situations described as unsafe for residents who use walkers, and episodes of resident-on-resident violence where staff did not intervene. Taken together, these comments raise concerns about maintenance, environmental hazards, adequate supervision, and fall/ambulation safety protocols.

    Management, oversight, and regulatory issues: At least one review directly questions regulatory follow-through, stating that the state agency (DHEC) is not adequately addressing problems. Reports of staff absenteeism and failure to intervene during dangerous incidents point to potential management and oversight gaps. The coexistence of positive and negative caregiver reports may indicate uneven leadership, inconsistent policy enforcement, or variability in staffing levels and training.

    Services not mentioned and population served: Reviewers note that the facility provides housing for residents who cannot care for themselves, indicating a custodial and long-term residential role. There are explicit reports of holistic medical care by clinicians. However, the reviews do not provide specific information about dining quality, recreational activities, therapy programs, or medication management practices, so no firm conclusions can be drawn about those service areas from the provided summaries.

    Notable patterns and overall impression: The most significant pattern is the polarization of experiences—some families report a nurturing, medically attentive environment where residents thrive, while others report severe hygiene, safety, and supervision failings that could jeopardize resident well-being. The negative reports are concrete and specific (dirty bathrooms, elopement, untreated fights, staff absence), which raises red flags about resident safety and regulatory compliance. At the same time, positive reports about helpful staff and clinical care indicate that there are meaningful strengths; these may be localized or dependent on particular staff, shifts, or units.

    In summary, the facility appears to provide necessary housing and can deliver compassionate, clinician-supported care for some residents, but there are repeated and serious safety, cleanliness, and oversight complaints that warrant investigation. Prospective residents and families should weigh both the positive accounts of family-oriented care and holistic medical involvement against the documented risks in facility maintenance, supervision, and regulatory compliance. Where possible, visitors should observe staffing levels, cleanliness, and safety practices directly and ask management about incident reports, staff training, supervision policies, and any recent regulatory findings before making placement decisions.
