Overview of Magnolias of Santee

Serving older adults throughout Orangeburg County and the Lake Marion region, Magnolias of Santee is a Community Residential Care Facility (CRCF) in Santee, South Carolina, that offers assisted living and memory care. Licensed with 61 beds, this mid-sized community supports a more personalized atmosphere that can help residents and staff build stronger day-to-day familiarity. It also operates under Cedar Communities at Santee LLC, with Kimberly Faye Harrell serving as administrator.

One of the community’s distinguishing features is its secured memory care setting designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Multiple levels of assistance are available to accommodate residents whose support needs may evolve. Programming also focuses on both personal accommodations and engagement within the broader local community, including civic involvement and references to the history and culture of Santee.

With its smaller capacity, Magnolias of Santee appeals to older adults seeking either traditional assisted living services or the added security of a dedicated memory care environment in the Lake Marion area, particularly those who value a more intimate setting where consistent staff interaction and resident familiarity are easier to maintain. For those navigating memory care decisions in a rural South Carolina setting, this community also offers one of the more specialized residential care options within the surrounding market.
