Overview of Windsor House Greenville

Located in one of the Upstate’s established residential areas, Windsor House Greenville is a Community Residential Care Facility (CRCF) in Greenville, South Carolina, providing assisted living services. This 50-bed community is owned by Windsor House Greenville-FHE LLC and administered by Renee Wilson.

Focusing on a practical and accessibility-focused approach to assisted living, the community offers three meals per day with nutritionally mindful dining, engagement-focused activities programming, and supportive services. Rather than positioning itself as a luxury-style provider, the community focuses on straightforward care and value-oriented living options for residents and families seeking dependable support. Its 50-bed scale also supports stronger staff familiarity and a more intimate residential atmosphere than larger communities.

The community’s location along Pelham Road on Greenville’s east side provides residents with access to major healthcare providers including Prisma Health Patewood Medical Campus and Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, as well as shopping, dining, and other community resources throughout the Greenville metro area.

With an established, community-oriented setting focused on accessibility, routine support, and long-term operational stability, Windsor House Greenville appeals to older adults and families seeking a moderately sized assisted living community with a more personal and practical approach to care in the Pelham Road and Verdae areas.

Overview of Kauhale Pettigru

Kauhale Pettigru provides assisted living and memory care in Greenville, SC. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while residents maintain their own apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.

Both care levels are available within one community. For a resident whose needs grow over time, that can allow a move to a different level of care without leaving the community. With 115 beds, Kauhale Pettigru offers a medium sized setting without implying a particular level of staffing or programming.

Residents may keep pets, and salon services provide on site personal grooming. Outings give residents opportunities to take part in activities away from the community, while the ASAP program adds a named program to the services available. Shannon Minshall serves as administrator, and Kauhale Greenville operates the community. This may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living now or memory care as needs change, particularly if remaining in the same community matters.

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.
