Gregory's Community Care 6 Howell House sits at 2409 Fork Shoals Road in Piedmont, South Carolina, and you'll find it's a smaller assisted living home that serves up to 10 seniors at a time, which keeps things feeling close-knit and home-like where everybody seems to know each other. Folks can pick from shared rooms, studios, or even a 1-bedroom if they want a little more privacy, and all the rooms come furnished. The staff handles meals, housekeeping, laundry, and even medication, and meals account for things like diabetes or allergies, with snacks out and cafe options too, so nobody goes hungry. You'll see visiting nurses and medical professionals come by, and skilled nursing care is available for those who need extra attention, and if someone's living with memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's, there's a focus on memory care too. Assistance with basics like bathing, dressing, and transferring is available, and if someone needs help with things like Parkinson's care, weight management, or getting in and out of bed, that gets taken care of as well.
The facility stays pretty lively, with daily activities, games, and community events-including arts and crafts, movie nights in the theater room, and even a greenhouse if you like plants-so seniors can keep busy at their own pace. There's a chapel for those who want it, a barber and beauty shop, and the place welcomes pets, so folks can keep furry companions for comfort. There's Wi-Fi and cable in the rooms, and emergency systems for peace of mind. Staff handles transportation for medical appointments and errands, and the building offers walking paths and a garden for fresh air. The care is individualized based on each person's needs, including options for respite care if someone just needs a short stay, and the home works to support as much independence as possible while making sure help is always close by. Being a part of the Gregory's Community Care network means they follow certain standards, and the house really works to make everyone feel connected while staying safe and comfortable as they age.
