St James Place sits at 800 Affirmation Blvd on James Island southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, tucked away in a quiet spot about half a mile from shopping and not far from the beach, and the place draws on Southern charm with gardens, patios, and broad lawns, giving folks a spot to sit outside and visit or just watch the birds. The community provides 61 one-bedroom apartments spread out in four-unit buildings, each one designed for privacy, and it supports residents who are 62 and up, including veterans, those with pets, and folks who prefer non-smoking areas. St James Place offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and home care, all under one roof, which means that people can move between types of care if their needs change. Every resident can access help with daily chores, get support from on-site teams and visiting professionals, and use a custom life plan so ongoing care is easier. Amenities include laundry on site, a fitness center, activity lounge, communal lounges, a gazebo, lake, WiFi and cable TV, pet policies, gardens, secure entrances, plenty of parking, and even a food pantry and annual worship service, and there are scheduled events, bingo nights, social games, and organized trips out into the city or to local attractions. For people who want more, St James Place has a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), access to memory support for folks living with dementia, and short-term rehab, plus nursing care for those who need it for longer stretches. The community provides information, videos, and articles right on their site, plus easy options for residents and families to contact the team, save listings, view a map, or explore other local places if they'd like. Residents can enjoy a personalized, home-like setting, whether they're living in senior apartments, getting home healthcare, or choosing a residential care home setup. With a staff trained for both daily support and medical care, St James Place aims to balance security, comfort, and choice without being far from the city or losing the peaceful feeling folks want in their retirement.

Rude staff, neglect, rushed eviction
I appreciated kind, helpful staff like manager Anna and social worker Sonja and liked parts of the community. However my overall experience was strongly negative: the office manager was rude and authoritarian, a fall went unnoticed for two days and led to the ICU, the eviction/paperwork felt rushed and possibly fraudulent, and staff were unsympathetic after my grandmother's death. I can't recommend this place - find another facility.
