Fairforest Grove Senior Living
Fairforest Grove Senior Living offers assisted living and memory care in Columbia, SC. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and taking medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time.
The community has 66 beds and offers studio housing, giving each resident a single private living space. A salon provides on site grooming services, while the outdoor courtyard gives residents a place to spend time outside. A Walk Score of 41 places the area in a car dependent category, so most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for routine outings. April Byrd serves as administrator, and Sh1 Fairforest Opco operates the community.
