Providence Home Care of South Carolina, a Greenville-based healthcare services provider, is expanding its Greenville County presence due to increased demand for in-home and in-facility care. The company's $2.9 million investment in its corporate headquarters is expected to create 167 new jobs over the next decade.

Providence Home Care of SC provides skilled nursing and personal care and transportation services to Medicare and Medicaid recipients in the state of South Carolina. The company is expanding its mission statewide to include skilled nursing to clients in the private sector, and the company will soon be certified to provide additional behavioral healthcare services to Medicare and Medicaid clients. Providence also intends to add medication management and medical supply sales to its offerings.

Providence Home Care is located at Millport Circle in Greenville, with a current staff of around 28 administrative, sales and healthcare professionals. The new positions will be located in the Greenville headquarters.

"Providence Home Care of SC would like to express our sincere gratitude to Governor Nikki Haley and the South Carolina team, which have helped our company continue to grow and succeed,” said Johnathan Sumter, president of Providence Home Care of SC.

"We couldn't be more excited to celebrate yet another expansion as Providence Home Care of SC invests an additional $2.9 million and creates 167 new jobs in the Upstate. This expansion demonstrates once again that South Carolina continues to be a place where businesses can not only grow but also find success year after year,” said Governor Nikki Haley said.

"This decision by Providence Home Care to expand its operations and headquarters here in Greenville County validates this region's focus on providing a robust and vibrant business climate, world-class healthcare services, and a superb quality of life that attracts and appeals to both individuals and companies. We salute their job creation and economic investment in this community,” Richard (Dick) Wilkerson, Chairman of the Greenville Area Development Corporation added.
