White Oak Manor Newberry

White Oak Manor Newberry, sitting over at 2555 Kinard Street in Newberry, South Carolina, is a private, family-owned senior living community that's part of the White Oak network, and folks there can find assisted living, independent living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, and a large 146-bed skilled nursing center all under one roof, which means if someone needs help just with daily things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicines, or if they're looking for full nursing home care with therapies and medical supervision, staff cover all that with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants available around the clock, supervised by a physician, and the place meets federal standards for Medicare and Medicaid, so veterans can also use VA benefits like Aid and Attendance to help pay for care. People who need extra help because of memory problems like Alzheimer's can get care in a safe area that's designed to help with confusion and wandering, and they put a focus on both social and physical well-being, so there are always games, arts, religious services, outings, and other ways for residents to join in if they feel like it, and meal services offer healthy food. The staff at White Oak Manor Newberry are often described as kind and joyful, creating a welcoming environment for residents and their families and, with help from senior living advisors on site, it gets easier for families to understand what options are best. There are private studio room layouts for people who live there, and while it's only the third highest rated senior living community out of three in town and has an average score of 7 out of 10, it still holds a 5-star nursing home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and is often mentioned for good activities and overall recognition. Things like dental, podiatry, eye care, mobile x-rays, laundry, transportation, a library, and hair salon services are available too, and folks can join family or resident councils if they want. Therapies run seven days a week and support is wide-ranging, including orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, stroke, back injury, wound care, amputee recovery, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, diathermy therapy, dysphagia, speech language for memory and cognition, as well as prosthetics and orthotics training, with special focus on making discharge and transitions safe if care needs to change. Administrator Melissa Gilliam oversees the place, and the website has more information for those wanting details.
