Chandler Creek Post Acute, in Greer, SC, names three levels: nursing home care, respite, and skilled nursing. The night is staffed the same as the day is. A short stay under respite is bought so a family’s usual caregiver can travel or recover.
A guest staying two weeks gets the same overnight staffing a permanent resident gets. That is most of what a family is actually buying. One hundred thirty-three beds are covered by the license.
Rehabilitation services aim at two different targets: getting back what was lost, or holding on to what is left. Skilled nursing or a short respite stay is what this suits. Medicare can pay for the skilled weeks right after a hospital sends someone home.
Medicaid may help once a long stay outlasts the savings, and with private pay the family writes the cheque. Per resident, the nursing figure is 3 hours and 25 minutes daily. Bryan Tyner administers the home for Greer Community Healthcare.
