Re-LAX at Home Residential Assisted Living, also called Forest Lake, sits at 112 Goodrich St in Columbia, South Carolina, where you'll find it's a modest community offering both assisted living and memory care, so what you get is a home-like place that mainly serves older adults and folks with disabilities who need some regular help, either because they can't or don't want to live alone anymore, and the set-up is such that you'll see semi-private rooms-including one-bedroom units-with wheelchair access, telephones, and furnished spaces that feel more like a family home than anything impersonal. The staff here focus on helping with daily activities, stuff like bathing, dressing, and getting around, plus they take care of medication supervision and coordinate with outside doctors or nurses to keep everyone healthy, and there's monitoring throughout the day to make sure all the residents stay safe and well, which means they've got 12-16 hour nursing support and 24-hour on-call systems along with emergency alert features that make everyone feel a bit more secure.
There's help with meals, too, including attention for allergies or diabetes and all-day dining options, and you see meal service happen in a dining room so nobody eats alone unless they choose to, and the staff handle housecleaning and laundry so residents don't have to worry about chores. Walking paths, gardens, and a community room give plenty of spaces to visit or just relax, and they've got scheduled activities like movie nights to help folks stay social, plus ambassador programs that help the staff learn each resident's routines and preferences better. Transportation and parking are available, and move-in services make settling in easier for new residents.
Re-LAX at Home offers help after illness, surgery, or hospital stays if someone needs skilled nursing, and memory care is set up for older adults with Alzheimer's or dementia, keeping them safe from wandering and providing special programs and activities to help with cognitive decline and ease anxiety. The place provides respite care for families who need a break, and the care team develops personalized plans so every person gets support tailored to their needs, which might involve helping with transfers, handling medications, and keeping up with anyone who has trouble moving on their own. It's a board and care home under Atria Senior Living Group, Inc, and its community earned a 3.8 score on Seniorly's rating, representing steady quality and attention. The atmosphere is small-scale and family-like, giving folks a comfortable setting while focusing strongly on health and safety, so those who move here can expect a blend of privacy, support, and company.
