Nhc Healthcare - Greenville

The staff was very friendly and nice to the family. They took an interest in what the family desired. Some of the aides were not the best. They dropped my grandma a few times. They also were upset with her at times and not very caring. The place was always clean and orderly.

NHC Greenville (Greer) appears just like any other skilled nursing facility when you walk in the door. The staff that greets you is friendly and helpful enough. There do appear to be adequate security doors in place for patients who may be prone to wander. The facility seems rather cold, impersonal, and darkly decorated. One of the first rooms you see when entering is the dining room, and the food appears and smells much less than desirable. As with most nursing homes there is very much the smell of diapers in the hallway. The nursing staff seems a bit scraggly and unprofessional. Each name tag either identified the nursing staff as an LPN or CNA, no RN's. Some of the staff seemed to be genuinely interested and concerned for the patients while others did not. The therapy room staff does appear professional, concerned for the patents, and competent. There is a big difference in attention and resources for the medicare wing verses the other 3 payment source wings. There seem to be a few activities a day for patients, but most residents were simply laying in bed watching tv. Overall this facility is not impressive, but I have also seen worse. In looking for a place for a loved one to receive skilled nursing care, the location of this facility is wonderful for frequent visits and easy access to most of town. You do have to remember that this is a skilled nursing facility and the patients there require such care that it isn't going to feel the same as an assisted living or other lesser level of care where the patients are more independent, aware, mobile, etc.
