Foothills Assisted Living
Serving older adults throughout Oconee County and the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills region, Foothills Assisted Living is a Community Residential Care Facility in West Union, South Carolina, that offers assisted living and memory care. Owned by Cite Health Management Services Inc. and administered by Kymberly Nichols, the community operates with a 76-bed capacity. Its affiliation with a regional healthcare management organization also provides additional operational and clinical oversight in an area where specialized senior care resources are comparatively limited.
Rehabilitation support, licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants on staff, and 24-hour care coverage are offered, which is valuable in a rural setting where access to healthcare services and therapy programs is more limited outside of residential care communities. Memory care support is also available for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Programming also focuses primarily on accommodations, assistance with daily living, and healthcare support rather than resort-style amenities or lifestyle-centered offerings. Its location also offers a more rural and nature-oriented setting while still providing structured care and nursing availability.
Prioritizing healthcare staffing, access to rehabilitation, and practical support services over luxury amenities, Foothills Assisted Living is a strong fit for older adults in West Union, Walhalla, Westminster, and nearby Oconee County who require assisted living support, memory care services, or access to rehabilitation within a clinically focused environment.
