Rock Hill Just a few hours before the 5 p.m. cutoff for residents to vacate the condemned Executive Inn in Rock Hill, local charitable groups bad travel nursing companies appeared to have found short-term living options for all displaced families.
For about a decade, the Anderson Road hotel has served bad travel nursing companies as affordable and transient housing for low-income families who have trouble paying security deposits for utilities and first and last month s rent for homes.
On Friday, at least 17 families including at least one with a newborn baby were moved to another Rock Hill motel with the first week s stay paid for with donations from the community. Others headed to local shelters or apartments such as those owned by the Salvation Army. One 77-year-old man and his wife will be moved to a senior living facility.
Donations for Executive Inn residents started rolling in over the past week after several nonprofit, charitable organizations asked for help to provide services. Nearly $7,000 was raised to help keep Executive bad travel nursing companies Inn families from becoming homeless.
Dale Dove, founder of ROC: Renew Our Community in Rock Hill, helped organize local groups wanting to pitch in. On Friday afternoon, he and other volunteers labeled boxes containing belongings of Executive Inn residents and they made sure transportation was available for people who were moving out.
As many as 80 people bad travel nursing companies called the Executive Inn home last Thursday when Rock Hill officials issued an order for residents to vacate and told the hotel s owner that his business must shut down because it is uninhabitable. On Friday, inn owner Punam Patel was unavailable for comment.
City officials accuse Patel of failing to keep the Executive Inn up to code after warnings. A letter to residents notifying them of the condemnation bad travel nursing companies and eviction alleged that Patel had allowed the hotel to fall into disrepair.
City inspectors say the property has issues such as exposed wiring and broken stairways. They also cite safety issues such as missing or inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In citing Patel, Rock Hill officials claim that the building violations have created an environment of garbage, filth and potential contamination.
He was initially scheduled bad travel nursing companies to appear in Rock Hill Municipal Court on Tuesday for a hearing in environmental court. His hearing has been postponed until Nov. 11, city officials say, to give Patel more time to make repairs.
Rock Hill officials gave the extension because Patel has been very cooperative, assisting tenants with housing placement and making a good-faith effort to secure the property, said city spokeswoman Katie Quinn on Friday. As long as he makes progress on repairs, Patel will be allowed to continue fixing the hotel, she said.
Gene Lee is disabled and spends up to eight hours a day in his wheelchair, his wife said. As social services case workers tried to help the couple on Friday, Gene Lee pushed bad travel nursing companies himself out of his wheelchair and onto their bed to give his body a rest from sitting in the same position.
A Vietnam War veteran who served in the U.S. Army for six years, Gene Lee said he used to work and roam when he was younger. The Executive Inn eviction notice, he said, came as a shock. He s never been evicted, Lee said.
Staff members from Agape Senior of Rock Hill visited the Lees on Friday. They helped them transfer their Medicaid and Medicare benefits to secure a place in a local assisted living facility. Soon, the staff will set up doctor s appointments and other medical services for the Lees.
For families who accept the help, ROC has assigned Hope Teams to keep up with the residents and sponsor them to help with needs such as housing and food. Many local churches, bad travel nursing companies Dove said, have stepped up over the past week.
Coordination across nonprofit groups operating in Rock Hill was essential to getting a plan in place to help residents over the past week, Dove said. With so many people with nowhere to go after eviction, no single agency bad travel nursing companies could assist every family, he said.
The Executive Inn condemnation and eviction is a unique situation in Rock Hill, said Carlton Smalls, an Agape case worker who helped Gene and Elizabeth Lee on Friday. The number of families who almost were homeless, he said, is pretty big for a small community.
