Woods Edge sits over on Hillpine Road in Columbia, South Carolina, right in the Harbison area where you can find plenty of shopping nearby, and it's just across the street from a community center with lots of activities and exercise programs. This place offers one-bedroom apartments for people aged 55 and up, as well as those who may have handicaps or disabilities, and everything's designed to help residents feel safe and comfortable. You'll see balconies on every floor and some apartments have patios too, and there are wall-to-wall carpets and blinds on all the windows, plus each unit comes with electric stoves and frost-free refrigerators, and they've even put in grab bars, handheld showers, and bathroom safety features. There's a computer room and a big community room where people can gather, and common indoor areas for social events. Outside, you get off-street parking, and for those interested in getting out, there's a lake with trails for walking and running nearby.
They have meal services with healthy meals and a full calendar of social, educational, and entertainment activities, along with devotional and offsite options if you want to get out a bit, and the staff have a good reputation for being friendly and well-trained. Woods Edge offers different kinds of support, like independent living for active folks, assisted living for those who need extra help with daily things, non-ambulatory care, incontinence and diabetic care, memory care for residents living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and even therapy and rehab services for people who need them. Home care services can go to seniors living at home, which gives some folks more options.
They've taken safety seriously here by putting smoke and heat detectors in all the units, and every apartment has a medical emergency button. The community's open to people from all walks of life, with a focus on dignity and respect for everyone, and management by The Michaels Organization makes sure everything runs smoothly. Rent runs on the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program, so what people pay depends on their income, which means it's more affordable for seniors, and residents aged 62 and older can apply for subsidized housing but there's a waiting list process, so folks need to fill out an application first. Many folks and their families have given Woods Edge high marks for friendliness and all the activities going on, and that's due to the variety of amenities available and staff who work to keep everyone comfortable. The apartments and community areas focus on making everyday life easier, with details picked to help seniors enjoy their time, find friends, and keep their independence for as long as possible.
