Abbeville Residential Care

Abbeville Residential Care sits in a quiet neighborhood in Abbeville, SC, and has a homelike feel because it only has 5 licensed beds in the facility, so staff really get to know the people living there and can help with whatever's needed, whether that's help getting dressed, taking a shower, managing insulin shots, or just having someone nearby at any hour for safety or to talk. It's a secured, small assisted living and memory care community that can help people who wander, who might need two staff to help with transfers, or who sometimes act out, and staff have experience with dementia, diabetes care, incontinence, and high needs, but also help with a gentle touch like meal planning for allergies or daily grooming and bathing. The place gives meals three times each day-home-cooked, with kosher and vegetarian options-and there are snacks on hand, with staff who'll make sure meals work for diabetes or other health needs, so folks don't have to worry about cooking or doing laundry because those chores are all taken care of, including the housekeeping. Residents can pick a private room or a shared one, with features like kitchenettes, private baths, full tubs, and wheelchair accessible showers, plus the whole place is air-conditioned and has phones, cable, and internet so people can stay in touch with family or the world outside. The community has supervision 24/7 and there's always staff awake, with emergency call systems, so someone's always watching out for trouble, and they can help with things like medication management, coordinating with doctors, even dentist visits or arranging a nurse on call if there's ever a medical need. The facility is pet-friendly, letting residents have their cats or dogs, and everyone can use the outdoor garden areas, indoor common spaces, and paths for walking or just sitting outside in the fresh air, where there's flowerbeds and shaded seats. Activities run daily, with movie nights, fitness, music and craft programs, board games, community night events, and even organized transportation to offsite activities, doctors or dentist appointments, errands, church, or other faith-based services, and there's devotional services and music therapy right on site for people who want them. For people who need a little extra, like hospice or respite care, the staff can arrange that too, letting families find peace of mind knowing someone's there. There's a sense that life here is steady, not rushed, and care plans adjust as people need more help, whether they start off very independent or need lots of support, and there's always a simple, honest effort to make it feel like home.
