Overview of Martha Franks Baptist Retirement Community Martha Franks Baptist Retirement Community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care, respite care, nursing home care and skilled nursing in Laurens, SC. Independent living provides private living with community services rather than daily care, while assisted living helps with tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Home care is also available for support where a person lives, and respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. With several care levels available, the community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to remain in the same community as care requirements change. The community has 82 beds.
Residents can attend religious services in the chapel, use the beauty and barber shop, and dine on Southern style meals. Rehabilitation services are available for residents who need therapeutic support, while the bistro offers another on site dining setting. Medicare, Medicaid and private pay are accepted, giving families options that include coverage for short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid support when savings may not cover a long stay, or direct payment. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 43 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned per resident. Robert Sprouse serves as administrator, and the community is operated by South Carolina Baptist Ministries For The Aging.
