Sprenger Health Care Bluffton

My husband has been at Sprenger Health Care Bluffton for 2 weeks now. It is a nice and clean place in a nice location. The health staff is a little stressed because there aren't enough of them, but the nurses are great. The coordinator is really good. The food isn't too bad. They're very diligent about the food. They're very interested in their residents' tolerability of certain foods and their diet in general. The doctors are good. If you have an issue, they will call the doctor, and the doctor always calls back. Overall, it's a good place. They're all private rooms, at least for the rehabilitation part. They have their own private bathroom. They have a refrigerator, and there's plenty of drawer space and closet space. They just had a trio recently playing music there. They do bingo, church services, watermelon socials, and ice pop socials. Everybody is welcome to participate, even the family members. They have common areas like a little chapel, a courtyard, and a beautiful dining area.

Sprenger Health Care Bluffton is very clean, bright, and welcoming. The facility has a lot of amenities. They have a very nice therapy room as well as a little bar and eating area. They have cocktails at three. My brother-in-law says the food is very good so he seems to be very happy there and all of the staff is very accommodating. Everyone has a single room. They don't have to share with anyone. There's a refrigerator, a television, a lot of storage for his clothing, and a bathroom and showers that are wheelchair-accessible. Everything is clean. They even washed his clothes. They have wide halls enough for people to walk as well as those with wheelchairs. They have several sitting areas where families can gather. They give a weekly sheet of activities. The girl that we worked with, the director of admissions, worked hard to help us get all the necessary paperwork done to her so that he could be accepted.

We moved dad into the memory unit of Sprenger Health Care Bluffton. The facility is new, I think about a year old, so it's relatively clean and well-appointed. There are three different levels of care, assisted living, nursing, and then memory care. Once my father was put in the nursing facility, it took about three or four weeks and we realized that was not the right unit for him. He was falling and I think the level of care was not what he needed. I was determined that he should be in the memory care unit, and he's getting good care there now. We're very happy. I feel like the nurses care about his well-being. I think especially right now with the pandemic, there's certainly a shortage of caregivers in facilities like this one. You can tell the people who care and the people who don't care as much when they're stressed with extra workloads and so forth. There's also a physical therapy unit with physical therapists and so forth. And I'm very happy with the care that my father received from those people. There's a doctor on staff and all in all, I think that he's receiving good care. I believe most of the rooms are approximately the same size. They all have a bed, their bathroom, with television, phone, and nice cabinets to store not only your clothes but other personal belongings. My father's room was nicely done. It had a nice paint job. The units are all approximately the same size, but they're appointed slightly differently, depending on whether you need assisted living, or nursing, or memory care. I know that there's another gentleman who's there for assisted living, and he has more of what you would kind of consider a residential look as opposed to my father who's in the memory care who has more of a kind of a clinical, even though there are the feng shui colors, and it's very warm and inviting. It's a little more of a hospital look. Some entertainers come on a scheduled basis. Some play musical instruments, and there's a schedule of events that comes out every day for residents there. I can't say that we've taken advantage of it. I think my dad is in a more advanced stage of the care that he needs, so he would not benefit from entertainment, but there is entertainment there. There's even a bar in the main reception area where you do feel like you are kind of socially active there. Snacks are served and even some drinks if you qualify to have a drink. Overall, it's a happy place, as happy as a nursing facility can be. In addition to the physical therapy type of care that keeps people active, some entertainment comes into the facility.
