The Addison of Bluffton sits at 8 Hampton Lake Drive in Bluffton and belongs to the Benton House network, offering a combination of assisted living and memory care services for seniors. This community gives residents a chance to live as independently as possible while providing personal support and help whenever it's needed, like help with bathing, dressing, and managing medicines, and they've got staff on hand for transfers and care for non-ambulatory folks. The place has secured memory care communities and the Magnolia Trails™ program, where staff trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care create daily routines to help keep memory care residents feeling safe and engaged, with special courtyards and secure outdoor areas, and a focus on reducing confusion and preventing wandering, while supervision and an alert system are both available around the clock.
Residents can choose from studio and deluxe one-bedroom apartments that come with built-in safety features, air conditioning, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and telephone access, and the whole campus is on one level, making it easier to get around, and they've got furnished rooms if you need them or want to try a temporary stay. It's a pet-friendly place, too, with special programs for cats and dogs and community dogs living on-site, which helps make things feel a bit more like home for animal lovers. When you walk around, you'll see community spaces like a full-service beauty and barber salon, a country kitchen where people swap stories and recipes, a business room, and a landscaped courtyard for outdoor relaxation.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and the dining options support special diets, plus people have access to Wi-Fi, cable TV, shared common areas, and a 24-hour emergency call system. Community life includes a mix of activities like fitness classes, creative programs, happy hours, movie nights, music, crafts, community events, wellness and spiritual activities, and outings, all aimed at keeping residents active and connected. There's a focus on providing a welcoming, person-centered atmosphere that's flexible for individual needs, including intellectual challenges and spiritual growth. Staff has a reputation for being helpful and caring, and the community has received recognition for its care standards, ranking among the top 50 in aging services by Fortune magazine and earning the Certified Great Place to Work mark. Transportation services are available if residents need a ride somewhere, and there's home care offered for those preferring to stay at home but needing some help.
Assisted living, independent living, temporary stays, continuing care, and specialized dementia care all have their place at The Addison of Bluffton, so people with a range of support needs can find a level of care that works for them, and families can feel comfortable knowing the facility checks its licensing status twice a year. The community offers supportive living for couples or individuals, short-term trial stays, and residential living for those who want less assistance, all within a safe and thoughtfully organized campus.
