Senior care in Greenville

How much licensed senior care is there in Greenville?

The City of Greenville had about 75,310 residents in Census Bureau estimates for July 1, 2025, and the S.C. Department of Public Health lists 20 senior-serving community residential care facilities and 12 nursing homes with Greenville mailing addresses.

Does a Greenville address mean inside city limits?

No. DPH's roster records each facility's postal city, and a Greenville mailing address covers large unincorporated areas such as Berea, Wade Hampton and the Woodruff Road corridor as well as the city itself.

The city grew from 71,139 in the 2020 estimates base to 75,310 in 2025, while the county around it grew faster still. For care decisions the mailing address matters less than the drive for the family members who will visit most, which is why the area pages below group facilities by ZIP code.

Which hospitals serve Greenville seniors?

DPH's roster lists general acute-care campuses in Greenville run by Prisma Health (Greenville Memorial and Patewood) and Bon Secours St. Francis (Downtown and Eastside), plus Encompass Health's rehabilitation hospital, and most rehab and nursing home referrals start with a discharge from one of them.

• Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Greenville (40 licensed beds)

• St. Francis-Downtown (295 licensed beds)
• St. Francis-Eastside (93 licensed beds)
