Longwood Plantation-FHE, LLC

Longwood Plantation-FHE, LLC sits on a 10-acre campus in Orangeburg, South Carolina and they've set things up to support seniors at many different stages of life, so there are independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, board and care homes, continuing care, and adult day care services, so folks can find a place that fits what they need, and the staff give help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and medication, while meals and personal care are part of daily life, and folks who need memory care-if they're dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementias-can benefit from Magnolia Place Memory Care, a smaller area closely focused on reducing confusion and wandering, with a home-like feel that's calm, steady, pretty quiet, and close-knit. The suites feel homey and elegant at the same time, with private baths, and shared spaces like the dining hall, sunroom, and living room are set up so you can get where you need to go if you use a wheelchair or walker, and the whole place is pet-friendly, too, so folks can keep their animal friends with them if that's what they want. Staff stay on hand all day and night-helping out, keeping the place clean, making sure laundry is done, and making sure everyone's medications are taken the way they should be, and internet and cable are available for folks who want them, so you can stay connected. The grounds are meant to feel like home, not an institution, and there's an effort to create a family-like atmosphere that supports independence but steps in with help if someone needs it; in addition, the activities program encourages people to spend time with each other and keep up with hobbies. There's a focus on keeping things simple, safe, and attentive, and folks who move there often find the staff have been there a good while, so there's some consistency, which can be important as people get older and want to stick with what feels familiar. The community has accessibility features, resources for long-term care planning, and they try to guide families through decisions about care or insurance, so it's set up for people who want options and might need more help as time passes; the place has a solid, middle-of-the-road rating, and while every place has its ups and downs, Longwood Plantation does try to give folks a clean, comfortable, and supportive place to live at 1687 Longwood Rd NE in Orangeburg.
