The Springs at Simpsonville is a senior living community on East Curtis Street in Simpsonville, South Carolina, offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care in a single setting. The community is operated by Curtis Group LLC and led by administrator Leigha M. Freeman. It is an 89 bed, single story building with private rooms throughout, which keeps daily movement simple for residents who use a walker or wheelchair and makes the building easier for staff to cover.

Having three levels of care under one roof matters for families thinking past the first year. A resident who moves in needing light assistance can shift toward more supportive care, or into memory care, without leaving a familiar building or starting over with new staff. The memory care side is a dedicated wing built around specialized programming rather than a few rooms set aside within general assisted living, which tends to mean a calmer environment and staff who work with cognitive change every day.

Medical support is handled largely on site. In house physician services and therapy reduce the number of outside appointments a resident has to travel to, and transportation services cover the trips that do come up. Prisma Health Hillcrest Hospital sits a little over a mile away, which is worth knowing when an urgent need arises. Fitness and recreation programming rounds out the week for residents who want structure to their days.

The setting is close in, about three tenths of a mile from Simpsonville’s city center, with a walkability score of 52 out of 100. That puts some errands within walking distance while a car still handles most trips, a practical middle ground for visiting family. Greenville is a short drive away for relatives coming from the wider metro area.

Overview of The Village at Summerville

The Village at Summerville offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, nursing home and skilled nursing care within a continuing care retirement community in Summerville, SC. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover.

The nursing home and skilled nursing options provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. With multiple care levels in one community, a resident whose needs grow can move to a different level without leaving the community or starting over socially, so the setting may be a good fit for someone who wants care options that can accommodate changing needs.

The community has 48 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents get to know each other. One-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom housing options can accommodate an individual or people moving together.

Total nurse staffing is 4h 14m per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nurse time allocated per resident. The area has a Walk Score of 45, a car-dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for errands.

Payment options are Medicare and private pay. Medicare covers short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence, while private pay means the family pays directly.
