Kershaw Health

Day to Day

Laundry

We provide full linen services, with the exception of personal clothing. Residents or family should pick up soiled clothing and deliver changes of clothing on a regular basis. All clothing should be labeled. Due to limited space, we encourage residents to store no more than one week’s supply of clothing.

Smoking

KershawHealth Medical Center is a smokefree facility. All new residents to the center must agree to abide by a no-smoking policy.

Telephones

Telephones are available in private areas on both floors and include devices for the hearing impaired. Private, in-room telephone service may be obtained through the local phone company.

Valuables

While residents have the right of respect for personal property while in our care, we ask that they not bring valuables into the center. We cannot accept responsibility for missing items.

Activities

We provide a variety of activities under the direction of a full-time activities director. Activities are designed to meet a wide range of social, recreational and religious experiences. Exercise, crafts, gardening, games, Bible study, outside events, such as shopping excursions, trips to the movies or for video rental, visits to the zoo, and dining out with family and friends are just a few of the activities available for residents. Group programs and entertainment are planned, and we encourage personal hobbies and interests. Devotional services are provided each Sunday and every Tuesday morning. Bible studies are held each week.

Meals

Residents are encouraged to take their meals in the dining room, where lunch and supper are served daily. In-room meals are available for those unable to use the dining room. Our long term care staff is available to feed residents. Family members of residents are also encouraged and welcome to assist their loved ones with meals and snacks. Nutritional supplements are available as ordered by physicians.
