Operated by the South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs under the administration of Christopher Palmer, Palmetto Patriots Home is a skilled nursing facility in Gaffney, South Carolina. The 104-bed home serves veterans and their families who need nursing care and rehabilitation services.

Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse aides, and activity therapists work together around the clock to support residents.

Rehabilitation services are a major part of the home’s care program. Licensed therapists provide therapy based on each resident’s needs. Recreational and therapeutic activities are also available for recovery, participation, and daily engagement. An on-site pharmacy is staffed by a full-time licensed pharmacist to ensure medications are managed safely and efficiently.
