About Port Royal

Port Royal is proud to be one of the region’s only true Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), offering both Assisted Living and Nursing Home care on one campus. This model allows residents to age in place with comfort, consistency, and peace of mind—eliminating the stress of relocating as care needs change. 

The Assisted Living community features 45 private suites, 24/7 assistance, individualized care plans, and access to on-site therapy, dietary guidance from a licensed dietitian, and regular visits from a primary care physician and nurse practitioner. Amenities include a secured courtyard, putting green, library, salon, café, and a lively bar and pub area that seats up to 60 guests, including 10 stools at the main bar. A playground for visiting grandchildren adds a special touch, helping foster meaningful connections across generations. 

Other Benefits of Sprenger Health Care

Sprenger Health Care Port Royal is also a contracted provider with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs through the VA Community Care Network (VCA). Through this partnership, eligible veterans can receive fully covered skilled nursing, rehabilitative, long-term, or respite care when authorized by the VA. The on-site team works closely with VA case managers to coordinate services and ensure veterans receive high-quality care close to home. 

The community’s continued excellence is further reflected in its deficiency-free annual surveys from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for two consecutive years, a 5-star overall CMS rating, and a Top 10 state ranking for quality measures. These accomplishments showcase the team’s steadfast commitment to superior care, compliance, and compassion.
