Daysprings of Johns Island

Daysprings of Johns Island sits in a quiet, pretty neighborhood on Johns Island, SC, and you can set up a tour to meet the staff and see how life goes on there with its 24 residents, who live either in private or semi-private rooms that you can personalize with your own things from home, and everyone eats in a dining room where meals are made to taste good and be nutritious, with choices that cover special dietary needs like allergies or diabetes, and the staff has even gotten awards for best meals and friendliest faces. The place stays clean with laundry, linen, dry-cleaning, housekeeping, and maintenance all taken care of for the residents, and there are cozy common areas, a TV lounge, a library with reading and activities, outdoor walking paths, gardens, free Wi-Fi, and places for community gatherings like movie nights and devotional services, so folks can enjoy time inside or out. Trained caregivers-many with experience in memory care-work there around the clock to help with daily living, like bathing, getting dressed, moving around, as well as medication reminders and management, diabetic care, incontinence help, non-ambulatory support, and coordination with doctors or hospice when needed, and they don't allow pets in the building. Daysprings is set up to reduce confusion and wandering for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, offering a safe and understanding setting, and the staff believes in respecting everyone's individuality and dignity, following the resident's bill of rights, aiming for a community where folks feel secure and at home. There's transportation for appointments at cost, plenty of group activities both on and off-site, rooms with emergency alert systems, access to wheelchair accessible showers, inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, and chances to grow through physical, social, and learning activities, whether someone's an active senior or needs a little more support every day. All this happens in what many describe as a friendly, close-knit place where people look out for each other, with staff always ready to help in emergencies, trying to keep life comfortable, simple, and as independent as folks want it to be.
