Overview of Care with Love Care with Love is a five-resident assisted living home in North Charleston’s Nafair II neighborhood, the kind of small place where staff know residents by name and schedule rotates tightly rather than sprawling. The single-story building sits at 3408 Lenape Street in a moderately walkable area (Walk Score 66), where residents and visitors can handle most basic errands on foot.
The facility centers its operation on personal care and medical oversight. Twenty-four-hour nursing staff includes registered nurses and certified nursing assistants who manage medications, assist with daily living, and coordinate rehabilitation for residents in recovery from surgery or injury. In-house meals follow home-style preparation rather than institutional service, and the activity roster includes a beauty salon, common gathering spaces, and regular off-site outings. It’s the kind of environment suited to people who want consistent, present caregiving without the larger campus feel.
Medicare covers assisted living here, a significant detail for beneficiaries whose insurance includes that benefit. Administrative staff keeps office hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but caregiving and facility operations continue around the clock.
When South Carolina’s state health department inspects the facility, documentation and compliance dominate the examination: fire drill records, TB risk assessment currency, medication logging, resident photo documentation. Care with Love’s deficiency count in these areas ran substantially below the state average for similar communities, a pattern suggesting stronger-than-typical attention to recordkeeping and regulatory detail. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions surfaced in available inspection records.
Geography matters for some families: the facility lies 3.3 miles from downtown North Charleston. And it’s just over two miles from University Medical Associates, hospital proximity that could factor into decisions about access to emergency or specialty care.
This is a deliberately small community, the kind that succeeds or fails on the quality of its caregiving and the steadiness of its oversight; metrics where Care with Love shows credible evidence.
