Overview
Mission
The purpose of the seabrook is to provide facilities to meet the special needs of the elderly through suitable housing, by offering social and recreational services and by the maintenance of a skilled nursing facility.
What it reported doing in 2025
Fraser health care is a medicare certified 33 bed all private room skilled nursing facility within the seabrook. It provides private pay services to resident members of the seabrook at reduced per diem rates and rates to the general public. The per diem rates are lower than the daily cost of operation and may be subsidized by the seabrook through the seabrook foundation. This helps extend seniors resources and keeps residents from accessing medicaid. Hospice and respite care are available to the community through fraser health care as well. Fraser health care provides free clinical space for nursing students from university of sc beaufort nursing school to help further their educational goals. Over 15 volunteers have providedover 2,000 hours of service to the patients of fraser health care. A state licensed home health program provides free services such as blood pressure and vital sign checks, professional nurse home visits and processing of insurance forms for long term health insurance. Other services are available below the comparable rates in the community such as medication management, home health aide services, lab work, dressing changes and injections. As part of our not for profit mission the seabrook supports skilled nursing patients, on a case by case basis, who through no fault of their own have exhausted their funds as long as the support does not adversely impact the financial operation of the seabrook. 2025 - fraser patient days, private, member 2,833 private, non-member 4,245 medicare 2,119 total 9,197
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
