PruittHealth - Bamberg

PruittHealth - Bamberg sits at 439 North Street in Bamberg, South Carolina, and has 88 certified beds for seniors needing skilled nursing care, and the place offers 24-hour nursing with physician supervision, so there's always help around for bathing, dressing, eating, and other daily activities, and folks will find both private and semi-private rooms depending on their needs. The staff is experienced and provides skilled nursing services, and while the nurse turnover rate is 39.5%, which is lower than the state average, the average nurse hours per resident per day sits at 3.47, coming up a little short compared to the state average of 3.8. The facility includes special features and newer technologies meant to help residents, but it has some drawbacks, like eighteen total deficiencies found in inspection reports, including care planning not always being complete, some absence of a working call system in bathrooms and bathing areas, and a violation of federal infection control standards, though so far, no actual harm has been reported, only the potential for more than minimal harm. The community covers health, hospice, and medical services and stretches into outpatient rehabilitation and short-term rehab, an activity program to keep folks engaged, and support through Home First, pharmacy, therapy, infusion, and medical supply services. PruittHealth has operated the facility since 2008, with Neil Pruitt and other owners involved in management, and Evalyne Aseno is the current administrator. They aim to offer compassionate healthcare and try to focus on the comfort and peace of mind of residents and families, but it's worth keeping in mind what the inspections have found when considering the care provided here.
