The Elms of Charleston

The Elms of Charleston sits in North Charleston, South Carolina and offers a living space for people aged 55 and older, where folks will find both attached and single-family homes, new builds and resale options, all in a community with age restrictions and low-maintenance living covered by The Elms of Charleston Home Owners Association, which handles things like lawn care, exterior home maintenance, and yearly power washing, and you'll spot the asphalt roads and cul-de-sac streets that give some extra privacy and keep the traffic down, while inside you'll see homes with single-level living, master bedrooms on the first floor, private bathrooms, air conditioning, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephones in the rooms, and the HOA and community staff, sometimes called different names, keep things running smooth by offering move-in coordination, housekeeping, laundry, concierge help, and support for families. The heart of the place is the 8,000-square-foot Elms Of Charleston Clubhouse, a big activity center that also functions as a restaurant with its own menu, where the dining room serves meals all day, with restaurant-style service, special dietary menus including for diabetes and allergies, and meals made from local foods when they're in season, so folks get to eat together and chat with friends, and there's an arts room, a library, a movie theater, and a lounge for casual visits. Outside you'll find a pool, gazebo, scenic lakes and ponds, and walking and biking trails that loop around the community, while the tennis courts, three shuffleboard courts, lawn croquet, and exercise rooms offer chances to stay active, and organized social events range from card clubs and billiards to holiday parties and regular outings, so people who want to meet others can always find something on the schedule. The Elms of Charleston helps with different types of care too, offering independent living, assisted living, memory and dementia care, respite care for a short stay, and even nursing home and non-ambulatory care-licensed and inspected to keep up safety and caregiver-to-resident ratios. The care program includes help with daily activities, medication management, personal care, and wellness support, and rooms for those needing extra help don't feel clinical, and there's special attention to making things easier for people with higher care needs. The community's managed by a dedicated team, with oversight from the HOA, and families can learn more through the community information page and reach out to the community phone number with questions. Residents run some of their own activities, with daily calendars full of choices, and transportation is available for group trips around Charleston, so people can get where they need to go without having to drive. The Elms of Charleston focuses mostly on health, wellness, and giving people many chances to be social, all in an inviting spot where it's easy to settle in and call it home.
