Carrigg Manor I has been helping older adults since 1970 and sits at 7125 Main Hwy in Bamberg, SC. It's a small retirement home that's licensed for six residents and runs as a sole proprietorship with Ms. Virginia Cannig as the owner. The staff, about 12 people, offer assisted living, memory care, hospice care, and respite care, always aiming to match services to what each person needs. Residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, and moving in and out of bed, and the caregivers can assist with hygiene, getting into and out of the shower, and clothing if needed. Home-cooked meals are served every day, and staff can prepare special diets for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
The building has several comforts like a reading room, outdoor spaces, possible access to a Jacuzzi or wellness room, a parlor for haircuts or grooming, and areas for games. There's a chapel for religious services and ceremonies, and Carrigg Manor I connects with Bamberg County Memory Gardens for burial, with a funeral home and memorial garden for final arrangements. Residents can enjoy planned activities-like music or animal therapy, tabletop games, outdoor relaxation, art, and workout programs-meant to keep everyone engaged. There are social nights, movies, and help arranging transportation to medical appointments, errands, or other places. A mobile barber or hairdresser comes in for hair care. Staff work to help everyone stay as independent as possible while still feeling comfortable and safe. The facility has never become BBB accredited but has stayed in business for over fifty years, offering steady care in a homelike setting.
