Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (61% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 months.
Operated by The Cypress Club Inc under the administration of Monique McRae, Preston Health Center is a skilled nursing home on Birdsong Way in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The facility provides post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families flexibility in covering both short-term recovery stays and extended care. The 77-bed home has an occupancy rate of 88%, reflecting steady demand for its services.
One of the facility’s key strengths is its staffing level. Residents receive an average of 7 hours and 26 minutes of nursing care each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and LPNs make up the care team. The level of support helps residents recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay. Most stay an average of 60 days, which aligns with the facility’s focus on short-term rehabilitation and recovery.
The facility’s rehabilitation program, known as The Preston Difference, is a major part of the community’s clinical identity. The program mainly helps residents return to their previous level of function and, when possible, return home. Private and semi-private rooms are available. Meals are prepared on site by the culinary team at The Cypress. The Preston Spa is also available and provides a bathing area for residents’ dignity and safety.
State inspections have reviewed the facility over the years. A recent annual inspection found no health deficiencies and no complaints. Earlier inspections found gaps in medication management, food storage, refuse disposal, and staff training. These are important parts of daily operations in a nursing home. Inspection records show the facility has worked to address those areas over time.
Families considering short-term rehabilitation should take a tour of the facility to get an idea of the staffing ratios physical spaces, and how clinical teams talk about their approach to recovery and transition planning.
Preston Health Center is legally operated by The Cypress Club Inc, and administered by Monique Mcrae.
