In-home urgent care in Charleston, without the waiting room

A critical care nurse comes to your house, usually the same day.

When you are sick enough to need someone today but not sick enough for an emergency room, Charleston leaves you with a bad set of choices. Sit in an urgent care lobby for three hours, or wait it out and hope. Holy City Healthcare Consultants gives you a third option: a Critical Care Registered Nurse comes to your house, assesses you properly, and treats you there.

Your nurse arrives with diagnostics, works with a provider by telehealth for anything that needs a prescription, and handles it in your living room. Seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

Patient recovering at home during an in-home urgent care visit in Charleston, SC

What we treat at home

Non-emergency illness and injury, handled properly in your house rather than triaged in a lobby.

Colds, flu and infections

Fever, sore throat, sinus and respiratory infections, urinary symptoms and the seasonal illnesses that put a household out of action for a week.

Dehydration and IV fluids

Fluids run at home when you cannot keep anything down, which is the most common reason people end up in an emergency room they did not need.

Wounds and skin

Wound assessment and care, dressing changes, rashes and skin issues, and minor injuries that need a clinician to look at them.

Stomach and GI symptoms

Nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal upset, with anti-nausea medication and fluids available on the visit.

Vaccines, labs and flu shots

Flu shots, immunizations, lab draws and results, all done at your kitchen table rather than across three appointments.

Refills and pain management

Medication refills, pain management for non-emergency issues, and smoking cessation support when you want it.

How a same-day visit works

You call, we tell you a real window, a nurse arrives.

There is no triage queue and no ticket number. You call or text, we ask what is going on, and we tell you the soonest we can actually be there rather than an optimistic guess.

The nurse who arrives is critical care trained, which matters most for the thing everyone worries about: recognizing when this is not an urgent care problem at all. If you need a hospital, you will be told plainly.

When to call us, and when to call 911

Knowing the difference is the most useful thing on this page.

In-home urgent care covers a lot, and it saves people a great deal of time and money. It does not cover everything, and pretending otherwise would be dangerous.

Call 911 immediately for chest pain or pressure, stroke symptoms such as face drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech, severe difficulty breathing, heavy bleeding, a serious head injury, or any loss of consciousness. Do not call us first and wait.

FamiliesFamilies with children who catch everything going around, and parents who cannot spend an afternoon in a waiting room.
Older adultsOlder adults, for whom a crowded urgent care lobby is both exhausting and a genuine infection risk.
After surgery, or immunocompromisedAnyone recovering from surgery, immunocompromised, or with limited mobility.
People who put things offPeople who would otherwise put it off, which is how a treatable infection becomes an emergency room visit.
Not a fitAnything life threatening. Emergency rooms exist for a reason and we will send you to one when that is the right call.

How fast can someone actually get here?

Same day is usually possible and next day almost always is. The honest answer depends on the day and where you are. Call 843.730.2790 and we will give you a real window instead of a marketing promise.

For a non-emergency, almost always, and it is a fraction of the time. Pricing is quoted before we schedule so you know the number in advance. Call and we will tell you what your visit would cost.

Full assessment with bedside diagnostics, IV fluids, injectable and oral medication, wound care, lab draws, vaccines and flu shots. Prescriptions come through a nurse practitioner by telehealth during the visit.

Ask us when you call and we will tell you plainly what applies to your situation rather than guessing here.

Then we tell you, and we help you get there. Our nurses are critical care trained, so recognizing the line between an urgent care problem and an emergency is the part of the job they are best at.

Call and describe the situation and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right choice or whether a pediatric setting is safer for that particular problem.

Yes. We run occupational health visits and employee screening on site, which avoids sending staff off site for half a day. Call and ask for the employer program.

Seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Whole Health Management members have 24/7 access.
