Overview of South Bay at Mount Pleasant

South Bay at Mount Pleasant offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Mount Pleasant, SC. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident who may be at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Several care levels on one campus can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since changing to a different level of care does not require leaving the community. Respite care can also suit a family seeking short-term support while a primary caregiver is away or recovering.

Pricing starts at $7,000, giving families an initial figure to use when budgeting for care. A salon and barber let residents arrange grooming services within the community, while the pool and wellness classes provide settings for exercise and recreation.

Rehabilitation services are also available through the community, giving residents access to therapy services on site. A resident who may need increasing support over time, or a family seeking a short stay during a caregiver’s absence or recovery, may find the range of care options relevant.
