PruittHealth–Walterboro operates as a nursing-home facility, delivering 24-hour skilled nursing care to residents who require ongoing medical oversight. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants follow individualized care plans directed by attending physicians, with services that may include wound management, IV therapy, medication administration, rehabilitative therapies, and coordination with outside specialists and hospitals. The clinical team monitors vital signs, chronic conditions, and post-acute recovery needs to help reduce hospital readmissions and maintain residents’ health stability.
Additional support services reinforce the medical program. Identification cards are used to verify staff and authorized visitors, helping the facility maintain controlled access and resident safety. On-site social services staff coordinate care transitions, arrange medical appointments off campus, and assist residents and families with insurance matters. A full-time activities director works with therapy and nursing teams to integrate therapeutic recreation into daily schedules, promoting mental engagement alongside physical rehabilitation.
Resident accommodations range from private to shared rooms, each furnished with basic bedroom and bathroom fixtures; some but not all rooms include features such as in-room climate controls, upgraded flooring, or garden views. Cable television, Wi-Fi access, and personal call systems are available in many rooms, though availability can differ by unit and room type. Families should confirm which options come with the specific room they are considering.
Meals are prepared under the guidance of a dietitian who coordinates closely with nursing staff to meet physician-ordered diets, including diabetic, renal, and pureed textures. Residents dine in a common dining hall designed for easy wheelchair access, while room-service trays are provided when medically necessary or preferred. Menu substitutions and snack options are offered daily, but specific selections vary, so prospective residents may want to review sample menus during a visit.
The facility schedules Clubs & Communities gatherings that encourage social interaction, cognitive stimulation, and peer support. Programs may be organized around hobbies, current events, or seasonal themes, and participation is voluntary, allowing residents to choose activities that match their interests and energy levels.
