Myrtle Trace is a 55+ gated golf community sitting along Burning Ridge Golf Course in Conway, South Carolina, and folks living here find all sorts of helpful services and amenities without needing to live in a huge, busy place, since the main assisted living home only houses six residents at a time and has 2,221 square feet inside, making for a quieter environment. People get care that fits what they need-assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living-all with help for daily things like dressing, bathing, medication, meals, and even professional chef-prepared food, with dining rooms, restaurant-style service, special diets for diabetes, shared meals, and all-day dining options, so no one's rushing. Residents have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, phones, pretty fast Wi-Fi, and there's always housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and even a concierge and family support.
The home sits on a peaceful corner lot in a cul-de-sac, quiet and surrounded by landscaping and old trees, with a brick and wood siding exterior, a single-story ranch floor plan, pull-down attic stairs, split bedrooms, and a two-car garage, plus four total parking spaces. Inside, there are vaulted ceilings in the living and kitchen areas, wood floors, professionally cleaned carpet in the bedrooms, and a double-sided see-through fireplace dividing the rooms. The primary suite has tall ceilings that keep going into the bathroom, while the dining area features columns and a high ledge for gatherings. Extra community services include an emergency alert system, a 24-hour call system, safety and accessibility features throughout, and regular wellness checks.
Myrtle Trace backs up its talk of independence and activity with walking paths, outdoor programs, resident-run and community-sponsored get-togethers, active social clubs, planned parties, a clubhouse with a catering kitchen, fitness rooms, game and arts rooms, library, horseshoe pits, bocce ball, shuffleboard, an outdoor pool, and plenty of common indoor spaces for recreation and crafts. There are more than 500 homes built between 1980 and 2005 in Myrtle Trace, all wrapped in curated landscaping and close to shopping, Walmart, pharmacies, doctors, restaurants, parks, and hospitals, with Myrtle Beach and the ocean just a few minutes away by car. Folks who live here can get help as their needs change and always find someone nearby if something comes up, but they still get the space, amenities, and little comforts that let them feel at home, keep busy, and enjoy being part of a caring, active place designed for older adults.
