Hallmark Healthcare Center

Hallmark Healthcare Center sits at 255 Midland Parkway in Summerville, SC and is managed by Kellie Jellyman, and you find a range of healthcare and senior services under one roof, including skilled nursing, assisted living, support for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and palliative care when that's needed, with a licensed capacity for 88 certified beds, so it's not too big, not too small, and the staff-who go by names like "nursing care associates"-set up programs and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with the nurse turnover rate at 42.5% and an average of 3.12 nurse hours per resident per day, which has its challenges, but the team still delivers care for all kinds of personal and medical needs, covering short-term recovery and longer stays too, and they even have specific programs for stroke rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, and cardiac rehab, using newer treatment techniques and always trying to follow a patient-centered approach, meaning each resident gets a plan built around their health and comfort. Hallmark Healthcare Center offers amenities and conveniences that focus on comfort, trying to make the environment feel inviting for people who stay there, and they say the facility supports everyone equally, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, orientation, age, or disability status, and that includes people with AIDS, HIV, or related conditions. Now, inspections have found some problems in the past, with 17 documented deficiencies-including issues with drug storage and labeling, equipment safety, and infection control, specifically with two infection-related deficiencies-which are serious areas that they've had to address, and every three years inspectors check for complaints and make sure infection-control rules are being followed, so those reports are always worth looking at if you're worried about compliance. Hallmark's staff uses distinct program names and specialized terms for many of their services, and the healthcare center is affiliated with Fundamental Healthcare, which helps guide care standards and policies. People looking for care can use their facility finder tool online, and their programs aim to help seniors improve their quality of life, with staff that many recognize for long-term dedication. The focus is on providing care that fits the individual, keeping services clear and simple, and making sure support covers both health and everyday comfort for all residents.
