Brian Center Nursing Care/St. Andrews

I was admitted to this facility on a recent weekday afternoon. Spoke with no one in admin after that. Didn't see a nurse or medical staff of any kind other than the two nurses that gave out the pills. CNAs would bring food and leave it, you'd see them in a bit to pick up empty plates and every so often to change a patient's brief unless they ignored the call lights. Never answered for me. Never offered to help you clean up or bathe...it was horrible. Please don't kill your elders with this facility! Thanks to Annie for being the only smiling face in the place!

My father recently was admitted there after a hospital stay. He was 93 but very alert. I cant say enough good things about this facility. Ive worked in skilled care so I am familiar with what is to be expected. This facility might not have the beautiful Ethan Allen looking furnishing but it has whats more important, caring staff. My father was at the end stage of his life and only lived seven days there, but in that time they cared very compassionately for him. All the staff looked like they genuinely enjoyed their job. The admission process with Rose was very efficient and she was very knowledgeable. Noel was the admission coordinator and she was super helpful and welcoming to me and glad to have my father be admitted. In my fathers last few hours, the nurse Mary was so warm hearted to me. She offered my family coffee or snacks as we sat by my fathers bedside. The CNAs assigned to him made sure he was clean and comfortable. This facility has had some struggles , like many nursing homes with staff shortages and trying to satisfy DHEC but they are making a strong come back to provide excellent care. Its home like and the focus is on resident care. Their activities therapy person Annie is a true angel. She loves her job and it shows how she loves the residents. I will be returning to take my golden doodle to do pet therapy as they are very pet friendly. No place will be perfect, but I would recommend Brian. My fathers last days were the best as could be with the staff caring so much for him and so compassionate to us, his family.

Very Negligent, my grandpa was fine he was moving to the stage where we was going to be able to go home but due to them not moving him he got an infection in his back and ended up dying. If you dont want your elderly to die DONT SEND THEM THERE. It was messy and uncoordinated they need to be shut down. Please dont let what happened to my grandpa happen to yours. They wouldnt even let us to take pictures and made my grandpas wife sign where we couldnt take pictures, so i cant show any pictures.

My mother has been here for less than 48 hours, and had to be re admitted into the hospital. I received a call this morning stating that she was found on the floor during morning rounds. My mother told me that she was on the ground ALL night (several hours), until the nurse came in after 7am. That means no one is checking on the patients. Her face and eye is swollen and her body temperature was 95 degrees when she got to the emergency room. Her blood pressure was 200/89. She could have died. This place needs to be shut down. This is gross negligence period.
