available from our dedicated staff.
Nursing

Nursing Assistants are available 24 hours a day to meet
your medical and personal needs. Assistance with dressing,
grooming, bathing, eating, and medication administration,
as well as a host of other specialized services, are available

Skilled Care
Service
The minimum of a three day recent hospital stay, as well
as having at least one skilled care service need, such
as daily therapy, is necessary to be eligible for skilled
care services. Those qualifying for skilled care services
can benefit by having Medicare and/or their private health
insurance pay for all or part of the cost of their stay
in our facility, for up to 100 days. Qualifying for Skilled
Care Service is on a case by case basis so please call
us with any questions and we can visit with you in detail.
Therapy Services
Therapy services are available at Laurens Care Center
from qualified professionals including physical therapy,
occupational therapy, and restorative therapy. A team
approach is used in developing a personalized plan for
each individual as they work toward reaching their highest
level of independent living.
Laurens
Care Center NU-Step.
Laurens Care Center was fortunate to receive a Grant from
the Pocahontas County Foundation to help purchase The
Nu-Step with all the modern features for our care center
to be used by the people of Pocahontas County and Laurens
Care Center. Seniors or people recuperating from surgery
can use the Nu-Step in the evenings and weekends. It is
located in our therapy room. This machine is easy to get
into as the power drive in the middle is low so one does
not have to raise their feet over a large hump to get
on. It has variable strength and speed settings. It is
especially nice for seniors and the work load can easily
be set from very light to heavy.
The Laurens Care Center raised over $1,600 from staff
bake sales and rummage sales to get started on the project.
Then we were fortunate to be able to apply for a grant
from the Pocahontas County Foundation for the remaining
$5,000. We are grateful to the foundation for their help
and we see that the money has been very wisely used.
Dietary Services
The Dietary Department uses their skills each day to provide
three well balanced meals. Snacks and an assortment of
beverages are available any time of the day. Our delicious
home-style meals are prepared in our own kitchen and served
in our spacious dining areas. Special dietary needs are
easily accommodated and prepared in accordance with your
physician's orders and under the supervision of our Licensed
Dietitian.
Social Services
The Social Service Department has a well educated and
trained staff to meet the social needs of our residents
and their families. We can assist you with placement questions,
financial concerns, adjustment needs, discharge plans
and other items, to formulate a smooth and comfortable
transition while staying with us.
Transportation
Transportation to your medical appointments are provided
by us at no extra cost. Our specially equipped van does
accommodate wheelchairs and family is welcome to ride
along to any local appointment.
Hospice Service
Laurens Care Center can aid in arranging Hospice Service
for our residents in need of this special care and attention.
For persons facing the end of life, our staff will work
with a team of specialized Hospice professionals so a
person can maintain the highest quality of life, while
residing with us. We work with two Hospice agencies
that you can choose from and we are glad to assist with
reviewing these options.
Laundry Service
Our Laundry Service operates 5 days a week, so your essential
and personal items are picked up, washed and returned
to you very quickly.
