The Cypress of Hilton Head

The Cypress of Hilton Head sits on 100 acres with freshwater lagoons, Live Oak trees covered in moss, and a relaxed island feeling that fits the Lowcountry lifestyle, so people who live there get to enjoy golf courses, a heated pool, a fitness center, and easy beach access, with valet service and 24-hour security adding to the peace of mind, and the campus has three private golf holes woven right into the grounds, which is something you don't always see. The community works as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC, which means folks can find different levels of support in one place-from independent homes and lively activities to assisted living, memory care, and full skilled nursing help at the 62-bed Preston Health Center that's right there on campus for times when someone needs extra care or short-term recovery, and people with dementia have special programs set just for them. Homes here come in different sizes with one or two bedrooms, and the model is unique since residents have an option for equity-based homeownership, with maintenance and repairs handled by the community, and meals cooked every day by a gourmet culinary team with dining options for residents and their families eating together, and housekeeping and room service come standard, making daily tasks a little easier. There's always something to do with daily social calendars, a clubhouse for events, outdoor walks around the water features, and access to golf, shopping, and dining both inside and outside the community gates, so people stay active and social as they wish. Staff at the Cypress are trained and friendly, offering personalized care and helping with everything from laundry to personal shopping, while banking, postal services, and beauty or barber shops keep things simple and familiar, as though you're still in your own home but with more help when you want it. They've won awards for their design and services, like the ULI Award of Excellence in Residential Development and the National Association of Homebuilders' Gold Seal Award, so the place gets some notice, and they offer resources like lifestyle planning guides and tools so people and families can plan ahead. For those needing support with the big things or little things-like health care options, activities of daily living, home care, hospice, or respite-there's a wide range of services right on campus, with short-term and long-term care all part of what they call The Cypress Model. People who want to learn more can talk to local senior living advisors, look into pricing, schedule tours, or even try a sample meal to see what day-to-day life might be like, so whether someone is looking for independence with an active, engaged community or needs extra healthcare as time goes on, The Cypress of Hilton Head aims to keep seniors connected, healthy, and comfortable in a secure, home-like setting.
