NHC HEALTHCARE - CLINTON

I came to NHC CLINTON SC 29325 on August 5, 2025. Let me 1ST START by saying ROACHES CRAWLING UP CURTAIN between ME & ROOMMATE & AROUND & UNDER BED. ROACHES IN BATHROOM EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON LIGHT the CNA, ROBIN, killing 2 or 3 at a time even as they crawled over top of her feet while assisting me in bath, DEAD ROACH JUICES ON FLOOR all night. LITTLE BLACK BUGS CRAWLING IN BETWEEN FOLDED BLANKET. And it seemed that once I STARTED COMPLAINING I BECAME a PROBLEM Very UNPROFESSIONAL NURSES & CNA'S. SO, from the 1st night of arrival I started experiencing a problem from the night nurse CHRISTY about my medicine that I'd been waiting over 3 hours for. My family member called and from that point CHRISTY somewhat changed a LITTLE but it seems like it set off some sort of CODE later where ALL BUT 2 NURSES after her were so UNPROFESSIONAL. One of the CNA'S, MARIA, seemed to have an issue speaking english & or understanding english. All the NURSES after that seemed to come into my room with an attitude or no personality including CHERYL, AMANDA, ALEXIS & CRYSTAL, who i would have given 5 stars until her 2nd night as my nurse when an issue regarding one of my medications came up. ONLY, ONLY AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE PATIENT ADVOCATE DID THINGS START TO CHANGE starting with NURSE CHERYL and NURSE CRYSTAL ONLY. I was LEFT SITTING ON THE TOILET for over 25 MINUTES, and at TIMES HAD TO WAIT 10-20 minutes to GET ASSISTANCE going to the bathroom because they have been SHORT STAFFED every day SINCE I'VE ARRIVED. Upon arrival & a few days here I wasn't able to eat or drink anything, so a lot of the meals were returned. However, once I was able to take in a little, NONE OF THE MENU ITEMS I chose have I gotten. 15 minutes AFTER SERVING you THEY COME TO PICK UP THE TRAYS, not even giving you time to eat, like you're supposed to RUSH. ON A POSITIVE NOTE: I'VE RECEIVED TRULY PROFFESSIONAL SERVICES FROM THE "ENTIRE" THERAPY DEPARTMENT, TWO (2) NURSES, Nurse TOPEKA & Nurse AUDREY AND THREE (3) CNA'S Ms SAM, Ms Kaitlyn & Ms Theresa FROM MY 1ST ENCOUNTER WITH THEM TO PRESENT. I am STILL HERE waiting to leave & Celebrate this my life bc i AM ALIVE & they TOLD ME THEY DON'T know how, OH!, BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD.

10/29/2025 (part 2) I left NHC on Sept 5, 2025 and I'd like to post my final views for NHC. After they finally sent my roommate to the hospital because she had so much congestion, rattling so bad, she died that night. I heard the nurse actually say that it didnt matter what they gave her for it, nothing worked. As bad as the rattling in her chest was from the time I got there, WHY DIDNT they SEND her to the HOSPITAL SOONER. I got there on 8/5/2025 and they didn't send her until the end of August. (God rest her soul). ALSO, I never got much rest bc she was always trying to get out of bed to the point that I was always ringing the nurse in the middle of the night when I'd hear her moving around and without a doubt, they always came in and had to put her back in bed, sometimes she'd even be out of the bed trying to get in her wheel chair. I stood in the doorway of my room screaming for HELP on another occassion WHEN I WITNESSED a patient on the floor in front of my door one night with NO NURSES NOR CNA'S anywhere to be found, NEITHER AT THE NURSES STATION or in the opposite direction. The Nurse popped up from nowhere as well as 2 CNA'S. They must have been in one of the rooms bc they just popped up. The NURSE questioned (out loud) "who is this, she's not on this side, how did she get here at which point 1 of the CNA'S said yes she is on this side and the nurse asked where, what room and the other CNA says her room #," which was right next door to my room. WHY IS IT THAT THE NURSE DOESN’T KNOW WHO HER PATIENTS ARE. Then the NURSE SAYS, "WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WRITE THIS ONE UP AND Y'ALL GONNA HAVE TO HELP ME GET HER UP OFF THE FLOOR". SO, if I DIDN'T WITNESS this, WOULD THEY HAVE WRITTEN IT UP? On another note they tried to send me home before I was even ready & I don't know if it's because I kept witnessing things there or not but they were not happy with me. ALL of the nightmare stories I'd heard about of nursing homes were confirmed during this 30 day stay at NHC. PLEASE, be vigilant in checking on your loved ones. Part1I just wanted to add this experience with Nurse ALEXIS & an OBSERVATION of another patient. Things seemed to be getting better however, the PERFUME CNA MARIA was wearing was causing me a terrible headache and nausea. I told NURSE ALEXIS who I'd just met for the 1st time so she sent a different CNA in. All was fine until NURSE ALEXIS came into the room saying I needed to get the TB TEST. She had a needle in her hand with some type of fluid in it and when I inquired about it she said this is the way and ONLY WAY to get the TB TEST to which I contested. I JUST had one here at NHC Clinton last week with the only device I've ever known for TB TEST. NURSE ALEXIS INSISTED THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY AND SHE WOULD LET HER MANAGER KNOW THAT I REFUSED IT WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE & UNTRUE. THE DIME SIZE device with the Prongs on the back is all I'VE EVER known used for a TB TEST.After ASKING for the PATIENT ADVOCATE she came in wanting to APPOLIZE which I found to be INSINCERE!!. SHE WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! I DONT KNOW TODAY WHAT WAS IN THAT NEEDLE AND TO BE TOLD ITS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A TB TEST MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE HERE AT NHC CLINTON 29325. What could have been a good day was turned in a bad, stressful & painful day because of NURSE ALEXIS. It's something how they CATER to some patients and leave others. I've watched my roommate suffer for the 10 days I've been here, CONGESTED and AFRAID SHE WOULD CHOKE TO DEATH. For the 1st time since I've been here, finally on FRIDAY, they gave her a breathing treatment, otherwise she always seems to be SO CONGESTED DRUGGED, sitting up front with her head back in a wheel chair all day long. How is it that the very people who studied, paid all that money for school (unless they got a degree online) and took an OATH are so UNPROFESSIONAL that they CANT even CELEBRATE a life SAVED and RESTORED by GOD when you are sent to get their help & CARE needed to start FRESH FROM these very SAME PEOPLE. THINK TWICE B4 SENDING YOUR LOVED ONE TO THIS AND THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES!!!!

@lora glasglow Maybe instead of staying at a facility that clearly cannot meet your unattainable standards, there is a thing called AMA. You can clearly spend time writing reviews on a facility so you can clearly discharge yourself. Also, when you write your next review make sure you use spell check! A kindergartner can write better. Thanks so much!

Mother was here for 7 months she was on B wing and was taken very good care of everyone on B wing was the best have no complaints and the therapist staff was the best doing there best for mother I think them all

My grandmother was here for several years before she passed a few years ago. They took great care of her and treated her like their own family. My family was in and out of the facility often and we have zero complaints. My father is a current resident and has been there since my mom passed away in 2021 and he is receiving the same, exceptional care. Every person is valued and every worker shows empathy and kindness to their residents. They have both been on A wing but I am sure that both sides are the same with great caregivers.
