Pinedale Residential Center is a quiet senior living community in Camden, SC, for older adults who want a smaller, peaceful setting that still covers a lot of care types, so you'll see assisted living, memory care, independent living, and advanced medical support, but it's not a full nursing home, and the place has a home-like feel for up to 50 residents, where everyone can have either a studio or a suite, and each unit has its own bathroom and climate control, with the suite including a master bedroom and a kitchenette with a mini-fridge and microwave, and the studio giving you two closets and a walk-in shower. Residents get three meals a day, with possible special diets, in a shared dining room, and there's always staff on site, plus a 24-hour call system and extra safety features like rails, fire alarms, and sprinklers. The care team helps with daily things like bathing, dressing, getting around, and medication, and they provide supervision and care for folks with memory issues, diabetes, Parkinson's, or mobility problems, along with hospice and respite options for short stays. The center has plenty of activities with a full-time activity director arranging things like Bible study, movie nights, Wii bowling, live music, board games, and day trips to local events, plus outings to parks and the theater, so people have plenty of chances to socialize and keep busy.
There's transportation by bus and van for appointments or errands, and on the grounds, you'll find patios, gardens, walking paths, a gazebo, and a park-like space, so it's easy to enjoy the outdoors, and pets like cats and dogs are welcome. Inside, the center has comfortable common areas, a fireplace, piano, library, activity and arts rooms, chapel, guest rooms, a beauty salon, a dining room, and an on-site doctor's office space for scheduled visits. You'll also find cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone service, laundry and housekeeping, postal service, and maintenance taken care of. The staff checks weight, blood pressure, and pulse every month, and helps arrange doctor visits and pharmacy needs. Pinedale tries to keep a friendly, familiar atmosphere where residents and caregivers can form strong bonds, and where support is tailored to what each person needs, with a mix of personal freedom and help. The center's rated excellent but doesn't publish prices, so you'll have to ask them about costs yourself.
