Carriage House of Sumter stands as an assisted living and memory care facility at 431 N Main St in Sumter, SC, where folks aged 55 or older can get help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication. The place has staff available around the clock and nurses on-site for emergencies and regular needs, along with visiting therapists and a doctor on call, and people can get diabetic support and bowel and bladder care, so residents with higher medical needs aren't left out. People can choose from different room setups, like private or shared spaces, and there are studio and one-bedroom apartments, all with air conditioning, kitchenettes, cable TV, furnishings, and high-speed internet, plus private baths and fully accessible showers or tubs for anyone who needs them.
Meals here are planned by a chef and offer a mix of dining choices, like restaurant-style and all-day options, with diets for allergies and diabetes available for those who need them and a nice dining area where it's easier to enjoy a good meal without the fuss of cooking or cleaning up. There are onsite and offsite activities to keep people engaged, including arts, music, movie nights, devotional services, a fitness program, and community events run by the residents themselves, and these take place in comfortable common areas like lounges, a game room, library, activity spaces, a fitness room, and areas outdoors where the fresh air feels nice. Folks who like self-care can use a spa, wellness room, or the beauty salon and barber-all right on site-while gardeners can spend time in the community garden or take a walk on the outdoor paths.
For those with memory concerns like Alzheimer's or dementia, there's a secured memory care unit and programs designed to help reduce confusion, prevent wandering, and support daily routines, with staff who understand those needs and act kindly and patiently, and they can accept residents with significant behavior issues. Carriage House of Sumter also has respite care for short-term or recovery stays, and hospice care is offered for those at the end of life. Many levels of care are available-from light to heavy help-so people can stay even as their needs change, and there's support for non-ambulatory residents, even those needing two-person transfers. Transportation for appointments and outings is available, whether complimentary or at a cost, and there's parking for those who drive, plus it's near a bus line, making it easier for family to visit or for residents to join community events.
Regular visiting specialists like speech, physical, occupational therapists, podiatrists, and nurses help keep everyone's health and mobility in check, and there's a dentist onsite providing dental care, from cleanings to complex procedures like implants. Smoking outside is allowed, and people are welcome to join the resident email list, check the event calendar, or use the client login feature, in case they want to stay updated on what's happening. Carriage House of Sumter offers continuing care so that residents don't have to move as their needs grow; it's more about providing steady help, comfort, activities, and a place that feels safe day or night.
