Overview of The Bridge at Charleston

The Bridge at Charleston is an assisted living community in Charleston, South Carolina, where residents can get help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and medication while continuing to live in their own apartment. The community has 100 beds.

Studio apartments place the living and sleeping areas in one private unit, while one-bedroom apartments offer a separate bedroom. Pets are allowed, so this may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living support but does not want to give up an animal companion. Katheryn G. Daugherty is the administrator, and Charleston Retirement Investors operates the community.
