The Village at Southlake sits in Lexington, South Carolina, just north of the city near Lake Murray, close to shopping, golf courses, and restaurants, which is handy for people who like to get out and about, and you'll see it's only about two miles from downtown, so friends and family can get there easily. The community caters to seniors who want a safe, comfortable place to live that still feels like home, and they've got choices when it comes to where you live, with over 50 different floor plans that include cottages, garden homes, studios, and up to three-bedroom options, even ones called 1BR-Garden or 2BR-Patio, and you get things like porches, patios, and garages for those who want them. The setting is peaceful with walking paths, scenic ponds, fountains, and decks, and the grounds have sidewalks, shuffleboard courts, and landscaped courtyards where people can spend time outside, even with their pets, since Village at Southlake allows animals, which is important to some folks.
Residents can expect low-maintenance living because things like housekeeping and home repairs get taken care of by the staff, and there's no need to sign long-term leases or worry about buy-ins, which keeps the process pretty straightforward. There's also restaurant-style dining with seasonal menus cooked by in-house chefs, and people can invite friends or family to eat with them in the dining areas-they even sometimes show old movies with popcorn in the community theater, so entertaining guests is easy. Transportation is provided for shopping and appointments, which is nice for those who no longer drive, and there's a swimming pool, arts and crafts studio, and lots of spaces to gather with others in comfortable, well-lit common rooms. Veterans' programs, onsite beautician services, and devotional services are all available, and there's a wellness program along with daily activities, so folks stay busy and involved; these include things like life enrichment, arts and crafts, and active fun activities both onsite and off.
The Village at Southlake covers several care options all under one roof, so people can choose Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Nursing, and even Adult Day Care, which means someone can find the level of support they need as their needs change-there's a home health staff, nurses, and care assistants on site, plus safety and activity protocols get updated often, which gives peace of mind. The community also welcomes Veterans, offers support with benefits, and has guides and resources for people needing help with the senior living transition, including a rate calculator and frequently asked questions online, and they provide current rate info if you request it by email or through the contact form. Residents get to join community life in all sorts of ways, from using the Resident Portal to joining interest hobby groups, so there's always something to do, and the staff encourages everyone new or old to join in. The place has a relaxed, friendly feel, with a focus on comfort and ease for seniors who value independence while wanting some help where they need it, and being managed by SRI Management means there's an experienced team making sure things run smoothly. The Village at Southlake has held the "Best Senior Living" title in Lexington since 2016, and local parks like Virginia Hilton Park and Gibson Pond Park are close by for outdoor recreation, so older adults can keep up a social, active life, whether they're on the walking path, fishing on Lake Murray, or just spending time with family.
