Anchor Post-Acute sits at 550 Eastgate Drive in Aiken, South Carolina, close to Spencer Drive and East Gate Drive, and serves as a skilled nursing facility focused on both short-term rehab and long-term care, so you see a lot of care teams working together with doctors, therapists, nurses, and aides, all talking with social services to set up a plan for each person who comes in and make sure everyone gets what they need, whether it's help recovering after a hospital stay or dealing with ongoing health problems. There's 24-hour skilled nursing care, and they've got a big rehab gym with licensed therapists guiding physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies, and people use those services alongside fitness programs, always with an aim to get folks back to their best independence if possible, or just keep them comfortable and safe if long-term support's needed. Outpatient therapy is there too, for those who don't stay overnight. Specialized care is available for things like tracheotomy, colostomy, diabetes, stroke recovery, wounds, and heart problems, and they handle medication help, wound care, catheter care, and IV antibiotics, and if someone needs hospice services or mental health counseling, that's available as well.
Residents can get help whenever needed with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, and making sure their diets are just right, especially when there are allergies or medical restrictions, since they do nutritional counseling and prepare meals carefully. Rooms come as shared or private, with options for two-bedroom apartments or smaller, furnished suites, and there are kitchenettes and private bathrooms built into many rooms, while common areas and spacious courtyards are open for relaxing or visits. The building has air conditioning, internet, phone, cable, and other comforts, and security's thorough, between locked areas, a 24-hour system, and emergency call buttons to keep people from getting lost or into trouble. There's always staff around- registered nurses, LPNs, certified nursing assistants- and they keep track of staffing hours to be sure there's coverage day and night, plus medical and transportation help for doctor visits or errands.
Anchor Post-Acute is recognized for high-quality facility inspections and earned an A+ grade with very few problems noted, and they keep close attention to care by working hand-in-hand with hospital and skilled care partners, so folks get skilled rehab with licensed experts and tailored daily routines. There's a resident council and family council to give everyone a voice, and if English isn't a first language they might have someone who speaks your language. Services include pharmacy, dentistry, labs, X-rays, pain management, podiatry, and recreational therapy, and they list their practitioners in a regularly updated directory, checking credentials and keeping ties with independently operated facilities and PACS Services that support the teams on-site. The focus is always on safety, good care, and gradual recovery or comfort, depending on what the resident's goals are, and while the office hours aren't posted, staff are quick to help and keep things running smoothly for all who live there.
