Brightwater Assisted Living offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing in Myrtle Beach, SC. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living supports daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while the Short-Term Rehab program supports temporary recovery needs. With several care levels in one community, Brightwater Assisted Living may be a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. The community has 56 beds, placing it in the smaller-community range where staff and residents may get to know each other.
Total nurse staffing is 5h 28m per resident per day, representing the total daily hands-on nurse time per resident.
