Overview of The Springs at Simpsonville

The Springs at Simpsonville sits at 214 E Curtis St in the East Curtis Street neighborhood of Simpsonville, South Carolina, offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof. Curtis Group LLC operates the community, and Leigha M. Freeman serves as administrator. It’s an 89-bed, single-story building with private rooms throughout.

The Walk Score comes in at 52 out of 100, moderately walkable, so some errands are doable on foot and a mix of nearby amenities sits within reach, even if a car still handles a lot of the load. In-house physician services and therapy mean residents don’t have to leave the property for a meaningful share of their medical care. There’s also a dedicated memory care wing, built specifically around specialized programs and support for residents who need that kind of attention, rather than folding memory care into general assisted living space. Transportation services handle getting residents where they need to go, and fitness and recreation programming gives people a reason to stay active without leaving the community.

Three care types, on-site physician and therapy access, and a dedicated memory care wing: that combination points to a community built to hold a resident through a real range of needs, from general assisted living support to more specialized memory care, without requiring a move somewhere else.

Overview of Oaks at Daniel Island

Oaks at Daniel Island occupies a single-story building in Charleston’s Daniel Island neighborhood, at 320 Seven Farms Drive. Constance Reger serves as administrator. The operator is Revela at Daniel Island LLC. The neighborhood walks at a 53, moderately accessible, with some errands manageable on foot and more requiring a short trip.

Seventy-six beds across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, each with walk-in showers and individual temperature controls, make up the residential footprint. The single-floor layout removes the navigation burden of stairs and elevators for residents managing mobility changes.

The named care program is Person-Directed Care, which is a specific philosophical commitment rather than a generic service descriptor. It signals that care decisions are supposed to follow the resident’s preferences, not the facility’s convenience. Respite stays are available for families navigating a transitional period or testing the fit before a longer commitment.

Restaurant-style dining, a library, and a courtyard are confirmed on-site. Health and wellness assessments and therapy services are offered. Housekeeping, linen, and laundry are included. Pets are welcome.

This is a mid-sized assisted living community structured for residents who want apartment-style living with a care model that centers their own preferences, in a walkable Charleston neighborhood without the complexity of a multi-story building.

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.
