Family Residential Care Home III sits at 25 Edwards Street in Sumter, South Carolina, and has room for up to 12 seniors in a homey environment where people feel like they're part of a family, and it really does focus on making everyone comfortable and safe as they're getting older or as their needs change. The home's staff, led by Holly and David Condon, who are both Senior Advisors and Dementia Practitioners, stays around the clock to help with bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication, and there's always someone checking on health and safety. Residents get care plans tailored to them, so if someone needs memory care, support for Parkinson's, or help with diabetes or a hospice situation, the staff coordinates with healthcare providers, and there's skilled nursing and RN monitoring, so families don't have to juggle everything on their own.
People live in fully furnished rooms set up with cable TV, telephones, and Wi-Fi, and there's help with housekeeping, laundry, and fresh linen, making life easier for those who need a hand. Folks eat together in a dining room with meals that can be adapted for dietary needs, whether it's diabetes, allergies, or something else, and if someone needs a special diet, the staff is ready for it. The building is secure, designed with safety in mind, especially for people with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive issues, and there are emergency alert systems and regular health checks. There's a garden to enjoy, landscaped paths for walks, a library and craft classes, and both scheduled and daily activities to help residents socialize, plus mental wellness programs and special memory care. The place is pet-friendly, welcomes families, and even offers respite care for those who need a short stay.
There's transportation for doctor visits and errands, and if somebody needs help getting to appointments, that gets arranged, too, so nobody has to worry about missing anything. Community-sponsored events, move-in help, and daily engagement keep people busy, and maintenance-inside and out-is handled by staff. The grounds are fully secured and there's a pleasant atmosphere, which many find calming and familiar, and with full supervision, fall prevention programs, and special accident alert systems, families can relax knowing loved ones are watched over. The home's real focus is on treating everyone with dignity, supporting well-being, and giving people the chance to age gracefully, and all the while, the approach is simple-it's a small, tight-knit place where seniors get help with whatever makes life a little easier, whether that's physical help, medical coordination, or just a friendly face day after day.
