The community is administered by Shannon Minshall and owned by Kauhale Greenville LLC, promoting a pet-friendly environment

The Kauhale Health identity emphasizes a communal and family-oriented philosophy of care. The term “Kauhale,” derived from Hawaiian culture, refers to a village or gathering of homes, reflecting an approach centered on social connection and supportive community living. Additionally, the community’s “ASAP” program also suggests a distinctive operational or resident engagement model that differentiates it from more traditional assisted living communities.

Organized outings, structured daily activities, dining services with dietitian oversight, salon services, and pet-friendly accommodations are among the confirmed services. The inclusion of dietitian-supported dining also benefits residents requiring nutritional monitoring or specialized meal planning beyond standard food service programs.

Overview of Rolling Green Village Assisted Living Facility

Rolling Green Village Assisted Living Facility is a 52-bed nursing home in Greenville, South Carolina, offering skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation services. Operated by the nonprofit Rolling Green Village on a 175-acre campus, the community has been continuously operating for 49 years. The facility accepts Medicare and private pay. CMS rates the facility 4 stars overall, 36.5% above the South Carolina average, driven by an exceptional staffing score. Nurse staffing averages 7 hours and 30 minutes per resident per day, ranking second among 112 South Carolina skilled nursing facilities and nearly double the state average of 4 hours and 5 minutes. That level of direct-care coverage is a meaningful differentiator for residents with complex post-acute needs. The inspection record is mixed. Three inspections since 2022 have produced 5 citations, well below the South Carolina average of 13.7, ranking 11th in the state in citation count. At 1.67 citations per inspection, compared with a state mean of 3.44, the per-visit rate is similarly clean. The facility has carried no fines and no payment denials in the past three years. Two of the five citations involved critical quality-of-care findings from February 2023, both of which were later corrected. A moderate abuse/neglect citation from April 2024 is also corrected. The below-average Health Inspection sub-rating reflects those complaint-driven findings rather than standard inspection performance. The facility provides rehabilitation services and a dedicated Alzheimer’s unit anchoring the care model, supported by on-site speech, physical, and occupational therapy staff. Dining includes multiple venues with a private dining room. With a 19-day average length of stay and a payer mix oriented toward Medicare and private pay, the facility suits short-term post-acute rehabilitation as well as residents seeking memory care within a nonprofit, campus-style continuum in Greenville County.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does South Carolina Medicaid cover memory care?

South Carolina Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
