Kershawhealth Karesh Long Term Care and Rehab provides long-term care, short-stay rehabilitation, memory care, and respite care in Camden, South Carolina. Kershaw Health, a county governmental health system, operates the 132-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community, which has served Kershaw County for more than 50 years. The facility moved to a purpose-built location on Lindsay Lane in February 2023 and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The facility holds a 3-star overall CMS rating. Staffing is the standout strength: total nursing hours average 4 hours and 35 minutes per resident per day, which is 12% above the South Carolina average of 4 hours and 5 minutes, placing it 21st out of 112 SNFs statewide. Weekend staffing also performs well, averaging 3 hours and 42 minutes per day, which exceeds the state average of 3 hours and 18 minutes. Health Inspection and Quality Measure ratings both trail the state average, which accounts for the overall 3-star standing rather than a staffing shortfall.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 77.1%, below the South Carolina average of 82.1%, and the facility typically has availability. The average length of stay of 154 days reflects a mix of long-term residents and post-acute cases.
Rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are offered alongside a programming calendar that includes horticulture, arts and crafts, group outings, and religious and cultural observances.
The community is best suited for residents who need consistent, high-contact nursing support within a county health system setting, particularly those prioritizing staffing depth for long-term care or post-acute rehabilitation in Kershaw County.
Kershawhealth Karesh Long Term Care and Rehab is legally operated by Kershaw Health, and administrated by Michael Scott Neal.
