    Compassionate staff, severe systemic failures

    I'm grateful to the many nurses, CNAs and therapists who were compassionate, patient-centered, and helped my sister improve - parts of the building and grounds are attractive and some halls (Hall 2) were clearly well run. But I also saw serious, recurring problems: filthy and broken bathrooms, feeding neglect, residents left in urine/stool, delayed call responses, lost/misplaced belongings and prostheses, rude/unprofessional front-desk staff, and chronic understaffing that creates infection and bed-sore risks. My experience is mixed: there are heroic, caring staff here, but until cleanliness, staffing, and administration are fixed I can't fully trust this facility.

    About PruittHealth - Walterboro

    PruittHealth - Walterboro sits at 401 Witsell Street, offering nursing and rehabilitation services inside a for-profit setting with 132 certified beds and about 118 residents a day, so you'll find both private rooms, each with a hospital bed, adjustable table, nightstand, window air conditioner and wall art, and shared rooms fitted out with privacy curtains, dressers, comfortable chairs, window blinds, and hospital beds, and the place includes a rehab gym stocked with therapy equipment, exercise machines, and parallel bars, while the beauty salon on site has a hair washing station, sink, and mirror. Residents get access to amenities like an activities director, card and game rooms, a courtyard, housekeeping, laundry, a library, and beauty/barber shop, and staff help with medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, plus long-term and short-term care, so anyone recovering after a hospital stay or needing ongoing skilled nursing has options, and the facility lists offerings for assisted living, senior care, respite, and short-term rehabilitative programs like those in The Preston Health Center, which has 62 beds and carries Medicare certification.

    The place has a daily nurse staffing hour per resident rate of 2.96, which falls under the state average of 3.8, but its nurse turnover rate is better than state numbers at 33.7% rather than 48.3%, and it's managed by Neil Pruitt since 2007, with ownership mostly tied to United Health Services of South Carolina, Inc. and indirect owners like J Paige Pruitt Trust and Neil L Pruitt Jr Trust, and the organization maintains an online presence and offers a payment portal for skilled nursing. You'll see regular infection control and care inspections on record, as there are 26 documented deficiencies, including two for infections and several related to food and nutrition, participation in planning, and care for incontinent residents, though most caused minor or no harm. The building has window blinds for privacy, experienced nursing staff on call, progressive rehab programs, and specialized services like home health, infusion, pharmacy, medical supplies, and therapy, and families can visit their loved ones with visitation allowed. The administration under Blake Rhoden aims for compassionate care, aiming to keep families informed about their loved one's progress, while keeping day-to-day needs covered with property management and housekeeping, and although there's no sweeping list of special programs, the basics for dignified, safe living and specialized care are all present.
