Beard Residential Care sits at 123 N Warren St in Timmonsville, South Carolina, and is a small senior living facility licensed for 10 residents, where folks can get assisted living, memory care, and board and care home services in a middle-class neighborhood. The community offers studio suites and one-bedroom apartments set up for seniors, each with an emergency pull cord, telephone, and basic furnishings, and there are always staff trained and ready to help 24 hours a day, lending a hand with bathing, dressing, moving around, medication, and personal care as needed, and there are also specialists on-site for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or dementia care, so people with memory loss can stay safe and comfortable, and there's a licensed nurse right there in case of emergencies, plus registered nurse visits every month for health checks.
Known as Beard Residential Care Facility 1-or sometimes just Beard's Residential Care Facility 3, since they use different names for each care community-this spot also runs family care homes like Padd-Wren Home, Victorian Home, and My House Community Home, and inside you'll find shared spaces like a large dining room, a reading room, a walking path, a lush garden, a computer center, an arts and crafts space, a community kitchen, and a wellness center. Residents can join daily scheduled activities like crafts, movie nights, community outings, and birthday celebrations, plus they can head off-site in small groups for trips or appointments since the staff provides transportation and help getting to and from medical visits and other places in town, and if there's ever a need to move in or out, the team helps with relocation coordination to smooth out the process.
Meal preparation covers regular food, allergy-sensitive choices, diabetic diets, and special menus for holidays, with a big focus on serving hot food in the communal dining room every day, and Beard Residential Care delivers housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and basic apartment upkeep as part of the package, so residents don't have to worry about chores. Services include adult day care, respite care, home health, hospice, skilled nursing, and referrals, and every resident can get support with daily living like dressing, moving, feeding, taking medications, and transfers, all offered by friendly English-speaking staff who can get in touch with caregivers and healthcare providers as needed.
Security is steady with keypad entry, an emergency alert system, wheelchair access, and all utilities covered except phone, and while small pets are accepted in some cases depending on the care home, the main Beard Residential Care location does not allow them-each spot has its own rules. The apartments and community areas aren't fancy but have a home-like feel, and there's concierge service, internet, and regular community-sponsored events to keep folks busy. The place usually gets compared with other area care homes on listing sites like A Place For Mom, and it's won awards for its meals, activities, and friendly atmosphere, but it doesn't take Medicare unless certified by CMS, so people would need to check on coverage first. Beard Residential Care works best for older folks who can move around but need help with daily chores, need memory care, or want a small, community-feeling place that isn't a big facility, and with only ten beds, it stays quiet and intimate without being crowded. The community scores a 3.8 on the Seniorly rating scale, which means it's about average for senior care in the region.
