The single-story building is arranged around a sun-filled courtyard and shared common spaces, which suits residents who prefer a smaller, more contained community without stairs or elevators to manage. Respite care is available as well, so the community can serve families who need short-term coverage while a caregiver travels or recovers. A hospital campus sits less than half a mile away, and the surrounding area puts parks, lakes, dining, and shopping within a short drive.

Housing options include studio and one-bedroom apartments, with companion living for residents who want to share a space.

The Woodlands at Furman

1500 Trailhead Ct, Greenville, SC 29617
Overview of The Woodlands at Furman

The Woodlands at Furman is located on Trailhead Court in Greenville, South Carolina, about 7.4 miles from the downtown area. It’s structured as a “life plan community,” which means it houses nursing care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care all under one roof. From a planning perspective, I find that kind of setup quite efficient; it’s designed to help you avoid the logistical and emotional stress of moving to a new campus if your care needs happen to evolve later on.

The community is in a mid-rise building, and they offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans. That’s a wider range of layouts than you usually find in standard skilled nursing facilities, which suggests they’re oriented toward long-term residency rather than just short-term rehab, though they do have rehabilitation services on-site if you need them.

The daily staffing numbers break down to 1 hour and 26 minutes of RN care, 53 minutes of LPN/LVN support, and 3 hours and 14 minutes from nurse aides per resident. The neighborhood itself is very car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 10. You won’t find much within easy walking distance, so visiting family or running errands will definitely require a car.

A major logistical point to factor into your financial planning: The Woodlands at Furman is not a CMS-certified provider for Medicare or Medicaid. They are private-pay only. If you were counting on those government programs to cover costs, you’ll need to look at other options or verify their status directly before making any commitments.

Ultimately, this is a campus designed for someone who wants to plant roots in one place through multiple stages of life, from active living to more intensive support, without having to relocate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in South Carolina

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 230 assisted living facilities in South Carolina. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in South Carolina?

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 South Carolina, 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 South Carolina?

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.
