Sc Episcopal Home At Still Hopes (CRCF) sits in West Columbia, South Carolina, and offers a mix of living options like private studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, suites, and even shared rooms, so folks can pick what suits them best, and they've set it up with safety pull cords, panic buttons, and ADA-compliant bathrooms. The campus holds several types of places to live, including cottages, HopeWell Apartments, Concierge Suites, Supportive Living, Assisted Living, Memory Support, and Nursing Care options, with Rose Gardens being the spot set up just for folks needing memory care-especially helpful for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and they restrict wandering with locked doors and alarms for peace of mind.
Folks who need a hand with daily things like bathing, getting dressed, handling incontinence, and taking medicine get steady help here, and the staff includes licensed nurses who are around day and night and trained caregivers always close by, with care plans shaped to what each person needs, and there's on-site rehabilitation like physical therapy, along with help for residents dealing with diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Meals at Still Hopes come three times a day and get cooked up with homemade touches, with menus switched around for special diets like high blood pressure, swallowing troubles, and diabetes, and there's even a pureed food menu for folks who need that sort of thing.
The place keeps things lively with things like group birthday parties, daily social and fitness programs, movie nights, crafts, off-site trips, and special events, plus there's a computer center, library, reading room for quiet, card games and bingo, and programs like music or pet therapy, Bible study, painting, and even computer classes if someone wants to learn. The Wellness Center helps keep folks moving, and there's a gym, fitness section, and safe garden trails outside for strolling or relaxing; Rose Gardens, the memory care section, has secure gardens and outings so memory care residents can safely enjoy nature.
People get cleaning and housekeeping for their rooms or apartments, plus full linen and laundry services with washers and dryers ready to use, and there's a salon, barber, a jacuzzi and steam room, and special concierge support for scheduling things or running small errands. The place allows pets, but there are some rules to check on based on the specific section someone's in, and the whole community has strong safety features all across the grounds. They'll also help with getting to church, medical appointments, or even the store. Internet, cable, utilities come with the place, and there are high-definition TVs and basic technology set up.
For those needing memory care, there's a strong program that schedules meals, activities, and medications carefully, and a small group of residents in Rose Gardens (up to 6) helps keep attention personal and hands-on, so everyone gets what they need without getting lost in a crowd.
The main location's licensed for up to 48 senior residents in the Community Residential Care Facility part, and across the full campus, there's nursing care, assisted living, home care, and rehabilitation-though for Medicare services, the campus itself isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but the skilled nursing center rates 4 stars out of 5 for care. Local agencies, like the Department of Aging, do regular checks and surveys, and with so many living options and activities, the place aims to make senior living safe, comfortable, and full of things to do, but laid back enough so people can just enjoy their days without too much fuss.
