Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, offers independent living and assisted living. Memory care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing are on its license too, and it is a continuing care retirement community as well.
Under the nursing home and skilled nursing designations, licensed nursing is available at every hour. Assisted living provides staff for bathing, dressing, and medication, and the private space is left intact. Independent living keeps what the community offers and leaves out daily care. Memory care is where a resident goes once wandering turns into a risk, and staff keep watch there inside a secured space.
Housing includes studios, one private room apiece. The continuing care designation is what ties the levels together. A resident whose needs grow changes level without leaving, and a family planning for change can see the whole path in advance. Respite gives a family a brief stay to use while the regular caregiver is away.
Short Term & Outpatient Rehab covers a temporary recovery or scheduled therapy. Wellness & Life Enrichment and Volunteer Opportunities are two further programs for wellness activities and volunteer service. Medicare covers short-term skilled care once a hospital stay ends, and private pay means the family covers the bill itself.
A 57 for Walk Score falls under somewhat walkable, leaving some errands possible on foot. Pets are permitted as well.
