Mc Clenaghan Place

Mc Clenaghan Place is known for being family-oriented and award-winning, and it sits in a building with a lot of history because it was first opened for education back in 1921, later named after John C. McClenaghan in 1945, and expanded many times since then, plus you can see marker number 21-53 outside because it's a recognized historical site that once served various schools and saw the first African American student enroll in 1964 with integration finished in 1970, and the names of architect William J. Wilkins and contractors Haynsworth & Lawton are part of its story, so you get a sense of living in a place that cares about its past. The community provides housing, assisted living, and memory care, focusing on seniors with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia in a setting that helps reduce confusion and prevent wandering, while offering 24-hour supervision, specialized therapy, activities for memory care, advanced security for safety, and engagement and therapies for mental wellbeing. Residents have services like housekeeping to take care of chores, and staff help with personal care and offer diabetic and skilled nursing support when needed, all from professionals who try to give careful attention and thoughtful medical service. Pet-friendly housing, handicap accessibility, and modern needs like high-speed internet and Wi-Fi are available, with photos and reviews easy to find for families who want to know more details. Mc Clenaghan Place includes indoor common areas for social activities, plus an athletic field for sporting events and a large auditorium for performances and speakers, keeping residents involved in the community. People can join devotional and enrichment programs, or take part in fine arts activities, and if anyone wants to continue learning, there's daytime and evening classes for GED, High School Diplomas, English as a Second Language, or generational family literacy, with online options too, because there's an official GED® Testing Center right inside, along with scheduling help for high school equivalency exams. There's also occupational therapy, related services programs for exceptional children, quality culinary services, and independent living choices for those who don't need much care. The McClenaghan District Office Annex and Main Building support administrative needs, and services extend to Medicaid assistance, support for homebound adults, and other student and adult education programs. Staff put effort into safety, compliance monitoring, and providing individualized support, drawing on the facility's long-standing role as part of the Florence community, yet the place keeps things simple without going overboard on amenities, focusing instead on practical care and respect for each resident's needs.
