Overview of Union Post Acute

Union Post Acute is a nursing home in Union, South Carolina, providing 24-hour skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term support services. The community is owned by Union Community Healthcare LLC and administered by Christopher Patrie with an 88-bed capacity.

Services include post-acute rehabilitation, short-term recovery programming, licensed nursing support, certified nursing assistants, and continuous 24-hour staffing coverage. Focusing on post-hospital recovery and rehabilitation services, the community is a potential option for those transitioning from acute medical care who require continued skilled nursing oversight and therapy support.

Located in Union County in the Upstate South Carolina region, the community serves a smaller local market where skilled nursing and rehabilitation options may be more limited than in larger metropolitan areas. Its mid-sized 88-bed capacity also provides a balance between personalized attention and the clinical resources needed to support rehabilitation and long-term nursing care programs.

Union Post Acute is well-suited for older adults in Union County and surrounding Upstate communities who require skilled nursing services, post-acute rehabilitation, or long-term care following hospitalization or illness.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +7% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 24m per day ▼ 38% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 47m per day ▼ 22% State avg: 1h 0m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 0m per day ▼ 10% State avg: 2h 13m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 52m per day ▼ 15% State avg: 3h 22m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 5m per day ▲ 7% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 16m per day ▼ 36% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 29m per day
