White Oak Manor Lancaster sits over on Craig Manor Road in Lancaster, South Carolina, and folks know it as a family-owned community where people 55 and older find a range of care, whether they're needing just a bit of help or a lot more support with daily activities like bathing and medication. This place gives you choices with independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, memory care, home care, respite care, and even care homes-so there's something for most every stage of aging, and the care team includes Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants on site around the clock, which can be a real comfort when someone's health or needs change suddenly or gradually over time. The community is set up with a skilled nursing center that holds 132 beds, so it can provide both long-term nursing care and short-term rehab services for those recovering from illness, surgery, or a stay in the hospital, and the rehabilitation includes things like physical, speech, and occupational therapy, with sessions available every day of the week, while they also cover more specialized therapies like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, prosthetics and orthotics training, and even patterned electrical neuromuscular stimulation, which might help those dealing with hard-to-treat mobility or nerve issues.
For people living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, this community includes an Alzheimer's Unit with over 15 beds and offers specialized dementia care and memory programs designed to help keep folks safe from wandering and lower confusion, all in a dedicated space built just for that purpose. Meals here are planned by chefs and meal planners and focus on both taste and nutrition, and the staff, who have a reputation for being joyful, kind, and helpful, try to create a warm, nurturing space, while engaging activities are planned to help residents keep up their social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being, so there's a sense that even those who need extra help are still part of a community-folks talk about a friendly atmosphere that comes through especially when you stop by for a tour, because you can meet the staff and residents and ask about daily life. It's a place that also supports families with caregiving resources and even advice about long-term care insurance, and when it comes to care planning, the staff work with each resident's doctor to make individual care plans, including safe transitions for discharge if someone's going home, and they offer home evaluations and caregiver education too. Amenities include podiatry, dental, and ophthalmologic services, as well as diet and pharmacy consultations, and they cover a whole list of rehab services like stroke, orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, back injury, amputee care, and general recovery after illness or surgery. White Oak Manor Lancaster, which also operates retirement apartments and independent living options, is run by administrator Jeff Skinner, and it has a memory care environment, meal services, and therapy on site, earning a 4.5-star rating from two reviews. People can schedule a tour to walk the grounds, meet the team, see the rooms and facilities, and get a sense, in person, of what daily life could be like for themselves or a loved one.
