Pinedale Residential Center is a licensed Residential Care Facility that has been serving the community since 1984. Nestled just minutes from the historic charm of downtown Camden, South Carolina, Pinedale offers a warm and inviting environment with a small, home-like atmosphere that accommodates up to 50 residents. The facility is dedicated to extending comprehensive care to individuals who have become dependent in one or more activities of daily living or who may have increased medical needs. Pinedale Residential Center stands apart by providing a choice between two thoughtfully designed floor plans: the Studio, featuring a walk-in shower and two closets, and the Suite, which boasts a master bedroom, a private bathroom, individual climate control, and a personal kitchen equipped with a mini-fridge and microwave. Each unit is specially crafted for privacy and comfort, ensuring residents feel at home and secure.
The center provides up to four levels of care, tailored to the specific needs of its residents. Whether an individual requires assistance with bathing, dressing, medication management, dietary needs, or personal safety, the highly trained staff is available around the clock to deliver support. At the same time, Pinedale is also equipped to serve those who might need advanced memory care or behavioral monitoring, creating an environment that adapts to various health and support requirements. Unique to Pinedale is the provision for respite care, supporting residents who require temporary care for a short period—ranging from a weekend to a month—be it for post-hospital recovery or to provide relief for family caregivers.
Beyond attentive and responsive care, Pinedale Residential Center cultivates a vibrant community life rich with activities, events, and opportunities for social connection. Under the guidance of Activity Director Janice Branham, residents enjoy a diverse calendar that features potlucks, game nights, monthly birthday and anniversary celebrations, Bible studies, and outings such as trips to the theater for concerts or plays. Game enthusiasts can partake in Wii Bowling, Dominoes, Corn-hole, Yahtzee, and Bingo, among many others, fostering camaraderie and engagement among residents.
The facility also provides essential services such as three nutritious meals per day, laundry and linen services, medical supply provision, therapy sessions, pharmacy assistance, and access to licensed beauticians. Residents are encouraged to bring along personal furnishings to decorate their private rooms, making their living spaces truly their own. Angela Branham is noted for her contribution to the activity programming and meal planning, while all staff members strive to ensure every aspect of daily living and health needs are met with sensitivity and professionalism. Grounds maintenance and special requests are capably addressed, ensuring a safe and pleasant living environment for all.
With a tradition rooted in the experienced oversight of a dedicated Board of Trustees and a Board of Advisers, Pinedale Residential Center remains committed to its mission of offering the finest in residential health care. The facility is overseen by a registered nurse who manages resident services and activities, ensuring that both independent and care-dependent residents receive the attention, dignity, and respect they deserve. Pinedale Residential Center continues to be a place where seniors can thrive, participate, and enjoy their golden years in comfort, safety, and community.
