Cascades Verdae

10 Fountainview Terrace, Greenville, SC 29607
Overview of Cascades Verdae

Cascades Verdae sits at 10 Fountainview Terrace in Greenville, South Carolina, in a car-dependent part of the city where a Walk Score of 9 means essentially no walkable access to services. What makes this address worth noting is what’s happening inside the building rather than outside it. This is a 92-bed nursing facility running at 85% occupancy, with an average length of stay of 56 days. That stay length is the operational signal here: Cascades Verdae is built around short-term post-acute recovery, not long-term residence.

The staffing figures are among the more telling pieces of information available on the community. Total nursing care runs 6 hours and 9 minutes per resident per day, including 3 hours and 9 minutes of nurse aide time, 1 hour and 27 minutes of LPN/LVN coverage, and 56 minutes of RN time. The facility carries rehabilitation services, short-term rehab, respite care, and 24-hour staffing on its service list. Medicare and private pay are both accepted.

The amenity set is genuinely unusual for a nursing home. An indoor heated therapy pool, salon and spa services, concierge service, restaurant-style dining, complimentary continental breakfasts, and pet-friendly accommodations together describe a physical environment that prioritizes comfort alongside clinical function.

For someone leaving a hospital who has a choice in where they recover, that combination of solid staffing hours, a post-acute service model, and resort-adjacent amenities in Greenville are features worth taking seriously.

Overview of The Blake at Hollingsworth Park

The Blake at Hollingsworth Park is an assisted living and memory care community in the Verdae area of Greenville, South Carolina, sitting along Woodruff Road about four miles from the city center. It is operated by Blake At Hollingsworth Park LLC and administered by Amy Howard. The setting mixes a residential neighborhood feel with easy access to a busy commercial corridor, which makes errands and visits straightforward for family living in the area.

The community is a two-story building with 114 beds, placing it among the larger assisted living options in Greenville. Residents choose from one bedroom and two bedroom floor plans, and pets are welcome. A larger community like this one often means more common spaces and a fuller schedule of organized programming than a small residential home can offer.

Memory care is a defined part of what The Blake does, with a dedicated Alzheimer’s unit and secure suites built for residents living with dementia. Those suites use personalized floor plans along with security and monitoring technology, so residents can move about with a measure of independence while staff keep watch. Wellness programs are tailored to individual residents, which suits families weighing how care might adjust over time.

Daily life is supported by hospitality services including a concierge and laundry assistance, along with transportation services for appointments and outings. Fitness and recreation programming rounds out the week for residents who want to stay active. The neighborhood scores 35 out of 100 for walkability, so a few nearby services are reachable on foot while most trips will involve a short drive or the community’s transportation.

Overview of The Springs at Simpsonville

The Springs at Simpsonville is a senior living community on East Curtis Street in Simpsonville, South Carolina, offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care in a single setting. The community is operated by Curtis Group LLC and led by administrator Leigha M. Freeman. It is an 89 bed, single story building with private rooms throughout, which keeps daily movement simple for residents who use a walker or wheelchair and makes the building easier for staff to cover.

Having three levels of care under one roof matters for families thinking past the first year. A resident who moves in needing light assistance can shift toward more supportive care, or into memory care, without leaving a familiar building or starting over with new staff. The memory care side is a dedicated wing built around specialized programming rather than a few rooms set aside within general assisted living, which tends to mean a calmer environment and staff who work with cognitive change every day.

Medical support is handled largely on site. In house physician services and therapy reduce the number of outside appointments a resident has to travel to, and transportation services cover the trips that do come up. Prisma Health Hillcrest Hospital sits a little over a mile away, which is worth knowing when an urgent need arises. Fitness and recreation programming rounds out the week for residents who want structure to their days.

The setting is close in, about three tenths of a mile from Simpsonville’s city center, with a walkability score of 52 out of 100. That puts some errands within walking distance while a car still handles most trips, a practical middle ground for visiting family. Greenville is a short drive away for relatives coming from the wider metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Greenville, SC

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in South Carolina?

Assisted living in South Carolina supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in South Carolina?

Assisted living in South Carolina is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does South Carolina Medicaid cover assisted living?

South Carolina Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including South Carolina) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 23 assisted living facilities in Greenville, SC. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Greenville, SC?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Greenville, SC, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Greenville, SC?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
