Swansgate Retirement Community sits in Greenville, South Carolina, on 42 acres of green space where seniors aged 55 and older find a calm place to live with friends nearby, and the whole area gives a sense of belonging with 165 single-family homes and 24 condos. Residents can pick from senior apartments, villas, condos, or multi-family homes that come with features like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, washers, dryers, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and air conditioning, and rooms range from about 1,627 to 1,986 square feet, mostly meant for folks who want to keep their independence while having a little help close by if they need it. The community does offer various levels of care including assisted living, independent living, memory care for dementia, and sometimes even nursing services, though not for people needing full-time skilled nursing, and they also have home care with aides who help with daily activities.
Dining choices include a dining room with all-day and restaurant-style service, meals made by a chef, and options for allergies and diabetes, so everyone can find something safe and tasty, and people say the meals here earn high marks, which matters when dinner is a big part of the day. You get regular housekeeping, laundry, and even a concierge, and the grounds feature an outdoor pool, patio, tennis court, scenic pond, and gazebo, plus inside amenities like a library, billiards, arts room, game room, theater, salon/barbershop, fitness center, spa/sauna, and more, so there's a place for almost any hobby or interest, from movie nights and arts and crafts to fitness or just sharing a meal with neighbors.
There are resident-run activities, holiday parties, and daily programs that encourage getting together, staying physically active, and keeping mentally sharp, and the staff have a reputation for being friendly, welcoming, and helpful, making the place feel less like an institution and more like a neighborhood, where folks look out for one another. Safety is a focus, too, with an emergency alert system, sprinkler systems, and handicap accessible features in both the apartments and common areas. Transportation, personal care, medication reminders, walking and wheelchair assistance, and move-in help are on hand for everyday life, while people who move here often mention the ease of services and the comfort of maintenance-free living.
