Prisma Health Lila Doyle

Offering resident-centered health care is an important part of our approach to residents’ care and guides our day-to-day culture. Our resident-focused environment combines traditional nursing, rehabilitation services and holistic approaches for care and wellness. Lila Doyle employs a team of highly qualified medical professionals, including a full-time dedicated physician and medical director, other physicians, registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists.

Our residents have full access to healthcare resources such as physicians and other medical experts, and services such as laboratory, radiology, ambulance and emergency. With our location on the Oconee Memorial Hospital campus, our residents receive prompt health care both day and night.

Lila Doyle adheres to the standards established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control. Exercise and rehabilitation sessions are scheduled appropriately, with prevention and safety in mind, so residents retain mobility and maintain their independence for as long as possible.

Long-term care at Lila Doyle means taking the time to provide for all of a resident’s needs.

This approach includes combining valuable medical care with special programs and amenities to enhance a resident’s quality of life. Occupational, physical and speech therapists are available in addition to care from physicians and registered and licensed nurses.

We offer special programs, such as our Namaste Care program for residents with advanced dementia and other cognitive deficits. The program, which involves soothing music, calming videos and hand and foot massages provided in a serene environment, has made a noticeable difference in the lives of many of the residents enrolled in the program.

Our long-term care residents receive:

• 24-hour skilled nursing care
• Rehabilitation therapy as indicated
• Individualized care plans

Rehabilitation encourages healing

The short-term rehabilitation program at Lila Doyle specializes in treating the unique needs of people who are in transition between the hospital and home. People who have experienced significant changes in their lives, such as strokes, neurologic disorders, joint replacements and fractures are among those who benefit from Lila Doyle’s rehabilitation services.

Our rehabilitation center is also a place for those who have experienced exacerbations of a chronic illness, such as respiratory disorders or arthritis, and those who become debilitated because of a long hospitalization.

Lila Doyle’s short-term rehabilitation program uses a comprehensive, interdisciplinary team approach that places the patient at the center of the treatment plan. We invite and appreciate family involvement throughout the patient’s stay at Lila Doyle. Our goal is to help our patients achieve their highest possible level of physical, social and emotional independence.

The goal of our physical, occupational and speech therapists is to return patients to their homes where they can function as independently as possible. We work closely with family members, physicians and home health to ensure a smooth transition after discharge.

Recreational services at Lila Doyle can bring joy to life through companionship, activities and laughter.

Our recreational programs and events are based on residents’ interests and include:

• Residents’ Council (all residents or patients are invited to provide input about all aspects of their stay at Lila Doyle; group meets monthly)

Lila Doyle, a part of Prisma Health Oconee Memorial Hospital, is owned and operated by Prisma Health. In addition to being home to residents requiring long-term care, we are a rehabilitation center with a full complement of therapy services for those needing short-term placement following a hospitalization because of surgery or illness.

We’re located on the site of the original Oconee Memorial Hospital, which opened in 1939. In the 1930s, a group of concerned citizens raised funds to build a community hospital. Dr. William Doyle and his wife, Lila, donated 15 acres of farmland for this purpose. At their deaths, they donated the remainder of their 150-acre farm to the hospital, along with cash assets. To honor them, our facility was named for Mrs. Doyle.

Per federal and state guidance, we will continue to follow all recommendations to ensure that residents, family members and team members remain safe throughout their visit.
