Providing assisted living and memory care, Forest Lake Manor is a Community Residential Care Facility (CRCF) in Columbia, South Carolina, with 60 licensed beds. Administered by Doretha L. Dennis with the ownership of Forest Lake Manor LLC, the community is dedicated to individuals requiring help with daily living as well as those experiencing cognitive decline.
24-hour staffing and emergency response systems are also provided, along with dining services that include three restaurant-style meals daily. Notably, communal dining or in-room meal service is available, which benefits residents who prefer greater privacy or who have mobility limitations that make dining room participation more difficult.

The neighborhood setting also appeals to families seeking a more residential atmosphere while still maintaining access to urban services and healthcare infrastructure.
With dedicated memory care services, flexible dining accommodations, and a neighborhood location, Forest Lake Manor may be a good fit for older adults in Columbia and the Midlands region seeking assisted living or memory care support within a community-oriented residential setting.
