Pruitthealth, Swainsboro is dually certified as a skilled nursing and nursing facility. In practice, that means a bed can bill Medicare during the weeks after a hospital admission and Medicaid later, without a resident moving anywhere. Private funds are the third route, for families whose situation fits neither program.
Infusion services, pharmacy, and medical supply are all named programs. So is Home Health, and Hospice & Palliative Care is on that list too, which keeps a lot of separate arrangements under one roof.
Hospice changes the shape of a week. Appointments stop filling the calendar, and what remains is comfort, company, and symptom relief.
Therapy services support recovery or hold a resident’s daily function steady. A salon operates on site, and religious services are part of the program list.
Nurses are on site at hours when a family is asleep in another county. Nursing time lands at 3 hours and 4 minutes per resident each day across 103 beds. Tracey Nelson is the administrator.
