Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several options when arranging coverage for recovery stays following surgery, hospitalization, or illness.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 96% because there’s steady demand for rehabilitation services.

Nurse aides contribute 2 hours and 4 minutes, while LPN/LVN staff provide 35 minutes. Those staffing levels support daily oversight and hands-on assistance during recovery.

As a newly opened facility, Complete Care at Oak Ridge completed its first annual state recertification survey with no deficiencies. Earlier findings were resolved before that review. The facility is in a car-dependent area of Charleston, so most visitors will need transportation. However, there’s parking and access for residents and visiting family members.
