Overview of The Pines at Florence Assisted Living & Memory Care

The Pines at Florence Assisted Living & Memory Care, in Florence, SC, offers assisted living and memory care. It takes respite stays as well. An assisted living resident keeps a private apartment, with staff helping at medication times and with dressing and bathing.

Memory care here is a secure, watched-over setting meant for wandering risk. Respite fits a person who mainly needs supervision while the family caregiver travels or recovers. Because assisted living and memory care share the community, rising needs can be handled in place.

Michael Alvarez serves as administrator for SC Senior 4 LLC, the operator. Housing across its 82 beds takes three forms, studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom, and the two-bedroom lets two people move in together or gives someone room for a companion. Residents may live with their pets.
