Inlet Oaks Assisted Living & Memory Care

What can I say the staff is amazing management is so nice and always willing to take time with me whenever I Have a question the resident care coordinator is always available. I seen the bad reviews that A disgruntled employee has put up very un true and very unprofessional

This place is nothing but great first and foremost . The staff is kind , the place is clean , and the residents always look happy . Whoever is making these bad comments about this facility is obviously an upset former employee because every post on here is nothing but good . If you have that much time on your hands to sit all day and make posts back to back , take that same energy down to the unemployment office to find a REAL job . It seems that you have personal issues with the RCC and her daughter , but look who still has there job .. them . Not you . If the facility was this bad as this secret person is making it seem , why havent they already been shut down ? Please stop the posts just because your mad you lost your job , obviously you didnt have what it took to keep your job .

Lovely facility lovely staff

I would not recommend this place to any of my friends or family. This place is not doing good at all. The owner and operations manager were fired by the board of directors for mismanaging the companys finances. The facility is not-for-profit and they were making sure they received their paychecks and bonuses while neglecting to make sure the employees were getting evaluations and raises. The executive director quit and the RN was let go. The new management team (executive director and facility manager) took over in July 2018 and the only thing they changed was the company name. They thought if they changed the company name, that would dissociate them from the bad reputation surrounding the previous management. They promised higher pay for all employees but failed to follow through. Caregivers are still making $9/hr, regardless of experience or having a cna certification. Medtechs make $11/hr. There is no room for advancement. There are no raises, holiday bonuses or evaluations given. No med tech class is offered for caregivers to take and learn how to pass medicine. The executive director and facility manager are in the building once a week. There is no RN in the building. The resident care coordinator is running the building. Management is constantly hiring the rccs family members and friends, which creates favoritism. Issues within the rccs family is brought into the workplace and causing discrepancies amongst the other employees. The kitchen is cutting costs by buying cheaper products and serving 8oz kids cereal packs for breakfast. The census is always low (currently 30 residents/60 total capacity). The census has not been any higher than the 30s since previous management. Before hurricane Florence hit SC, the facility had to evacuate all of the residents to Hope Arbor in Loris. Management promised to pay staff 24 hours pay for every day staff would be working in Loris, even though staff would not be working all day. Management then told everyone that they would only be paid for the hours they actually worked and made it mandatory that all staff had to go to Loris. Management pocketed most of the money the state sent to pay the employees for the mandatory emergency evacuation. Employees went to Loris and slept on the floor in the rooms with the residents. Upon returning to Murrells Inlet after the hurricane, management shortened all of the employees hours worked in Loris. The executive director and facility manager pocketed the money residents families donated for the employees last Christmas. The only positive side of the job is that most of the residents are independent and there are a few good caregivers. I would not have my own grandma living in the facility, not for one million dollars. Subsequently, because of the bad reputation, the facility is having a hard time not only getting new residents in the building, but getting them to stay. Since the new management took over, the receptionist, housekeeper, activity director and many residents have left. I highly recommend that you do not bring your loved one to this facility.
