Diana & Clarence Residential provides care for seniors in a small, shared home, focusing on people who need daily help like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and the place is licensed for up to six residents under South Carolina's Department of Social Services, with staff available day and night to give personal, gentle care, so everyone gets attention based on their needs, and there's support for bathing, grooming, incontinence, and sometimes even medical help like insulin injections or two-person transfers, depending on staff qualifications. Residents have a choice of private or semi-private rooms in a home-like setting, and both meals and snacks are homemade daily, with options to suit people with diabetes or high blood pressure, and if someone wants, the staff can arrange for special diets, outside stylists, and even speech therapy thanks to visiting professionals. The facility uses high-tech wander guards and has secured doors to help keep everyone safe, especially those who might be at risk for wandering because of memory problems, and there's a Memory Care program for those who need extra help with memory loss, along with hospice and respite care for others who need those services.
There's Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, and staff can help set up senior-friendly phones and hearing aid resources, plus there are options for complimentary transportation and parking if residents drive, and when someone can't drive, transportation is arranged for doctor visits, errands, or religious services. Some rooms have full tubs, and the house is made for easy movement whether someone walks on their own or with assistance, while security systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert add to the peace of mind. For entertainment and wellness, there are activities like board games, movie nights, fitness and music programs, craft time, pet therapy, outside trips, and even spaces for gardening or relaxing in the hot tub or sauna, and every now and then you'll find reading rooms, community gatherings, or a barber and beauty shop if someone wants a haircut. The staff plan activities on- and off-site, including devotionals, and help with medication, health needs, and sometimes exercise routines, depending on how much someone wants to participate.
Care is mostly for those who want to be in a tight-knit, safe home with no more than six people, and pricing for assisted living begins around $3,000 a month, though that can change if the resident has special needs, picks a bigger room, or wants more amenities, and payment can be made privately or through certain insurance or Veterans Aid and Attendance programs, depending on eligibility. Diana & Clarence Brown operate the home, and the licensing matches state standards for safety and personal care, so families know the environment is monitored and regulated for the residents' well-being.
