The Marsh at Carolina Park is a three-story senior community in a scenic area near Roper St. Francis and historic downtown Charleston. The place offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care for seniors, and you'll find all sorts of housing options, including studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and companion or private suites, some with patios or balconies, plus independent living cottages with modern kitchens, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and attached garages if you've got a car or like extra storage. The grounds have nice outdoor spaces, walking paths, and spots for relaxing on patios, while inside, you'll find a library, craft area, TV lounge, salon and barber shop, a beauty salon, and areas for games and movies, and even a demonstration kitchen for group meals or activities if you're interested in cooking.
The Marsh allows pets, so residents can bring their cats or dogs along, and they also have recreational spaces like a pool, fitness and wellness center, courts for pickleball and bocce ball, plus activity rooms for crafts or art. Residents get daily support as needed, such as help with bathing, dressing, eating, or taking medicine, and the staff is around at all hours, with emergency call systems and 24/7 nurse coverage. The memory care neighborhood is secure and has trained staff who know how to handle Alzheimer's and dementia needs, with programs to reduce confusion and keep residents comfortable. The community gives each resident a personalized care plan, covering everything from daily activities to medication management, and offers on-site therapy, podiatry, and help with mobility.
Meals are prepared by chefs and served restaurant-style three times a day, with snacks offered, and staff handle things like housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and basic utilities, though telephone, cable, and Wi-Fi are extra. The Marsh has all-inclusive pricing so you won't find extra fees piling up depending on care needs, and they also help with Medicare, Medicaid programs, VA Aid and Attendance benefits, and other group programs like Community Long Term Care and Respite Care for folks needing a shorter stay or transitional care.
There are transportation and parking services if you need to get out and about, and a busy calendar of activities directed by an activities leader, with programs designed for social, mental, and physical wellness; these include things like crafts, music, group outings, games, fitness, and resident-led clubs. Residents can choose from social and recreational activities that aim to keep the mind, body, and soul engaged. The Marsh also wins awards like Best of Senior Living and Best Activities, and is licensed with regular reviews for peace of mind. The cottages and apartments come furnished if you like, with air conditioning, kitchenettes, and accessible bathrooms, and there's always a professional team available to offer help and a welcoming environment. Tours-both on-site and virtual-are available, with brochures and detailed pricing if you want to see daily life or compare unit styles.
Residents get to live in a modern, resort-style setting with access to medical and therapy support, enriching activities, and a safe, pet-friendly place to call home.
