PruittHealth-Barnwell operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering 24-hour nursing care that covers wound management, medication administration, and monitoring of chronic conditions. The center’s in-house physical therapy program supports residents recovering from surgery, injury, or prolonged illness, with licensed therapists developing individualized treatment plans aimed at improving mobility and reducing pain. Close coordination between nurses, therapists, and attending physicians helps ensure that medical orders are followed and that each resident’s progress is regularly reviewed.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the facility maintains support systems tailored to daily living needs. Certified nursing assistants provide routine help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, while care coordinators arrange lab work, diagnostic imaging, and specialist appointments when required. Short-term rehabilitation stays and long-term custodial care are both available, allowing residents to transition seamlessly between levels of service as their health status changes. Family conferences and care-plan meetings keep everyone informed about goals, progress, and any necessary adjustments.
Resident accommodations include a choice of private or shared rooms, with some layouts featuring access to landscaped outdoor areas and others outfitted with large flatscreen televisions. Not every room contains every listed feature, but housekeeping and laundry services are standard. The goal is to provide a clean, orderly environment that supports recovery and daily comfort without unnecessary clutter.
Three nutritionally balanced meals are served each day in a communal dining space, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to meet clinical requirements such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets. Snacks are available between meals, and staff members assist residents who need help cutting food or maintaining proper intake. The emphasis is on predictable mealtimes, clear portion control, and adherence to physician-ordered dietary guidelines.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts scheduled games, crafts, and group exercise sessions, as well as a library and computer lounge stocked with books and internet-enabled workstations. Staff supervise programming, help residents use devices, and arrange seasonal events that encourage social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
