Union Post Acute in Union, South Carolina, operates as a nursing home, providing around-the-clock skilled nursing for residents who need continuous clinical oversight. The team is equipped to handle both long-term custodial needs and short-term stays, with licensed nurses monitoring vital signs, managing medications, and coordinating with physicians. The facility also offers respite care, allowing caregivers temporary relief while their loved one receives professional support in a fully staffed medical setting.
Beyond direct nursing, the clinical staff facilitates rehabilitative therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy when prescribed. A care management team helps residents follow post-hospitalization treatment plans, schedule on-site diagnostic services, and arrange transportation to outside specialist appointments. Emergency response systems are in place throughout the building, and care plans are reviewed regularly to adjust to each resident’s changing health status.
Resident accommodations are designed for practicality and safety. Private and semi-private rooms may feature access to landscaped outdoor areas for fresh air, and some units include in-room washer and dryer appliances for personal laundry. For families who wish to celebrate milestones on site, staff can arrange private function spaces. Because layouts and features vary, not every room contains every amenity, and availability depends on current occupancy.
Dining services focus on balanced nutrition. Three daily meals are prepared in the community kitchen, with menus that emphasize homemade entrées and side dishes. A registered dietitian reviews meal plans to align with individual dietary requirements, and healthy snacks are available between meals to support stable blood sugar and caloric intake. As with lodging, specific menu options can vary by season and resident preference.
Residents have access to structured and unstructured activities that support social engagement and personal interests. Clubs and community groups meet on a regular schedule, while arts and crafts sessions give residents a chance to maintain fine motor skills and creativity. Health and wellness programs often take place in the activity center and extend to planned exercise classes. Those who prefer quieter pastimes can visit the library and computer lounge for reading, internet access, or informal research. Scheduled social outings round out the programming, providing supervised trips to local points of interest and helping residents remain connected to the broader community.
