Carlyle Senior Care of Kingstree

Carlyle Senior Care Of Kingstree sits at 401 Nelson Blvd. in Kingstree, South Carolina, and has 96 certified beds in a setting that feels home-like, with both private and semi-private rooms, options for room decorating, and regular group and individual activities that include movies, magazines, church services, and beauty and barber visits, so residents can stay active and connected in ways that suit them. Residents get medication management, physician, pharmacy, dental, vision, and podiatry services as needed, with reviews by pharmacists and trained staff giving out and monitoring medicines. There's support for both short stays after an illness or injury and longer term care, with skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and restorative care always available. Nutritional counseling comes from registered dietitians, who create individualized diet plans and therapeutic arrangements, so every resident gets three meals a day plus snacks tailored to their needs. The staff builds personalized plans of care meant to uphold each resident's dignity, and there's a full calendar of social and recreational activities along with housekeeping, laundry, and flexible bathing schedules to try and make daily life comfortable. The facility specializes in memory care for those with cognitive challenges, and family members can get training and support, too. Licensed staff provide 24-hour care, but recent inspection reports listed five deficiencies, including three earlier this year, citing issues like pain management and pressure ulcer care, so some challenges remain despite ongoing care efforts. Carlyle Senior Care Of Kingstree operates as a for-profit company owned by New Day Health Ventures, LLC, with Richard Cranford and Braxton W Barnette as indirect owners, and Candice Slavinski as administrator, and it's affiliated with Carlyle Senior Care and the South Carolina Health Care Association. The facility keeps nurse coverage at about 3.60 hours per resident per day with a nurse turnover rate of 42.0 percent, and as with most places, staff and management details change, but the focus stays on providing care for seniors in a nurturing place.
