With programming centered on a resident-directed philosophy, the community encourages activities and events shaped by the interests, preferences, and hobbies of the residents rather than relying solely on standardized programming structures. Respite care and dining services are also offered. Offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care within the same campus, the community supports aging in place.
Its location in Fort Mill offers convenient access to both South Carolina and North Carolina destinations, making the community particularly practical for families connected to the Charlotte metropolitan area. Its larger size also supports a broad range of organized programs, amenities, and social opportunities while still accommodating residents with evolving care needs. The presence of Blake Senior Living in the region also provides reassurance for families already familiar with the operator’s approach to lifestyle-oriented residential care.

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.
Surrounded by breathtaking scenery and offering high-quality care, The Marsh at Carolina Park proves to be the right choice for seniors in Mount Pleasant, SC. Here, residents are assured of enjoying an elevated lifestyle supported by an expert and compassionate team in independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. The community provides natural settings and resort-style amenities to further enhance comfort and relaxation. In addition to top-quality care, residents can also take great pleasure in engaging activities and social events prepared by a professional team.
The golden years are made even more exciting and fulfilling in this exceptional community, where residents are offered exceptional amenities such as well-designed patios, a salon and a barbershop, and more. Here, the residents can truly kick back, relax, and enjoy the slow pace of life.
Rosewood Assisted Living, located at 203 Rue Fontaine in Lafayette, Louisiana, is a 92-bed assisted living and respite care community operated by Senior Solutions Mgmt Group. The single-story facility sits nearly four miles from downtown and brings 31 years of local service to the area. Living spaces consist of private and companion suites featuring full kitchens and private patios, offering a single-level layout designed to facilitate easy mobility for residents.
The campus incorporates landscaped grounds, walking paths, and a central courtyard alongside interior amenities including an arts and crafts room, a TV lounge, a library, and a fitness space. The daily routine blends structured wellness programs, social activities, and on-site therapy sessions within a pet-friendly environment.
The Lafayette neighborhood has a walkability score of 36 out of 100, indicating a car-dependent setting where selected destinations are accessible on foot, but most standard errands require a vehicle.
Prospective residents and family members comparing regional assisted living options can contact the Lafayette business office to verify apartment availability.
Overview of Vineyard Bluffton

With a 108-bed capacity, the community is owned by Vineyard Bluffton Operations LLC and administered by Janaya Frazier.

Restaurant-style dining with a flexible schedule is also provided, along with lifestyle programming. Its larger size also allows for expanded amenity areas and a broader range of organized activities while still supporting personalized care planning for both assisted living and memory care residents.
Located in Bluffton, the community provides convenient access to the healthcare, dining, and recreational resources of the greater Hilton Head and Beaufort County coastal corridor. Its position within one of South Carolina’s most active retirement destinations also appeals to families seeking a residential setting close to both medical services and lifestyle amenities.
With supportive services and a coastal Lowcountry location, Vineyard Bluffton is best for older adults seeking assisted living or memory care in a well-resourced residential community that emphasizes consistent staffing, access to rehabilitation, flexible dining options, and daily engagement opportunities.
Operated by Greenwood AL LLC and part of the Navion Senior Solutions network, Ashley Square is an assisted living community in Greenwood, South Carolina. Brent Moore serves as the administrator. The 44-bed community offers studio and one-bedroom apartments for residents who prefer their own private living space.
Staff is available 24 hours a day to provide personal care and support with everyday needs. Residents receive meals and snacks throughout the day. They can join wellness programs, community events, social gatherings, and group outings. Transportation to medical and other professional appointments is also available to reduce the planning burden for families.
Apartments have accessible bathrooms, illuminated entrances, and emergency response systems for residents’ safety. Weekly housekeeping, laundry, and routine maintenance are included, allowing residents to enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle. The community also welcomes pets, so residents can keep a companion animal.
Ashley Square is in a car-dependent area of Greenwood, so most errands and outings require a vehicle. Families visiting from outside the area may find it helpful to plan for a car or rideshare during their stay.
Retreat at Wellmore of Lexington is a nonprofit nursing home in Lexington, South Carolina, that offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and respite care. Owned by Wellmore of Lexington LLC, as part of the broader Wellmore of Lexington Life Plan campus, this 60-bed community is administered by Marion Griffin Burgess.
Staffing levels consistently exceed South Carolina averages across nearly every major category, starting with registered nurse coverage that averages 50 minutes per resident per day, well above statewide benchmarks. Licensed practical nurse and nurse aide staffing also surpass state averages. Weekend nursing coverage remains particularly strong, with both total nursing hours and weekend RN availability exceeding the South Carolina average. Physical therapy staffing is the only category that falls modestly below benchmark levels, with a difference that is relatively limited compared to its other staffing profile.
On the other hand, quality measure performance presents a more mixed picture, with long-stay emergency department visit rates performing significantly better than the South Carolina average. Short-stay residents also demonstrate strong improvement in self-care ability at discharge. However, several post-acute rehabilitation metrics warrant closer review, including short-stay rehospitalization rates, emergency department utilization, and falls with major injury, which all exceed state averages. Successful return-to-home rates are also slightly below benchmark levels.
Studio to two-bedroom layouts with private bathrooms are offered, along with a variety of shared spaces. Concierge assistance, housekeeping, and weekly laundry service are also available, as well as a 24-hour emergency response system and pet-friendly policies. Since the skilled nursing component is integrated into a full Life Plan campus, residents have access to other levels of care within the same community environment.
Retreat at Wellmore of Lexington appeals to older adults in Lexington County seeking an upscale residential atmosphere, above-average staffing levels, and long-term continuity within a Life Plan community setting. However, interested families are encouraged to carefully consider post-acute rehabilitation services, a strong staffing profile, and premium amenities against the mixed rehabilitation outcome measures when making care decisions.

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 233 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.
