Indigo Carolina Forest sits in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and serves adults 55 and up with independent living, assisted living, and memory care options, plus short-term respite care when needed, and the place accepts some pets, which can matter to folks who can't stand to part with their cats or small dogs. The building is modern, state-of-the-art, and hurricane prepared, with outdoor patios, gardens, and shaded tables, all kept up with good landscaping, along with a pool and Jacuzzi for swimming or relaxing, so folks can get fresh air or socialize outside when the weather's nice. Inside, there are studio, single-room, two-bedroom, and semi-private apartments available, including residences made just for memory care and private villa homes for people who want a little more space, and the rooms and apartments come with kitchenettes, internet, cable, and high-speed Wi-Fi, while some common spaces feature fireplaces, lounge areas, a recreation room, arts and crafts studio, and community dining with a bistro and full-size kitchen. Residents don't have to worry about cooking daily, cleaning, or maintaining the space since the staff covers housekeeping, chef-prepared meals, barber and spa services, and even haircuts right on site, which just seems to make life easier as people get older.
Yoga and chair yoga classes help maintain strength and balance, and those who like to get together can join in on the game nights, happy hours, Bible study, bingo, or even listen to the resident musical group play. There are bright activity rooms stocked with art supplies, and offsite trips to explore Myrtle Beach, including the nearby Brookgreen Gardens and the Grand Strand beaches, for folks who still want to get out and about. Every unit and many common areas are set up with internet and cable, and there's a computer area in case someone's not tech-savvy at home, while parking's available on site for those who still drive and transportation is provided for group outings or errands.
Memory care residents receive special attention through custom-tailored care plans and secure environments run by a fully trained team that sticks around 24/7, with programs focused on memory and cognitive skill-building. Assisted living residents can get extra help with bathing, dressing, and medicines, but still enjoy communal social areas and scheduled activities, and independent living offers a worry-free, active lifestyle where folks don't have to bother with maintenance but can stay connected with others. People who need a short stay or families who need a break can use the respite services. There's also access to gym equipment, recreation room games, a grand piano, spa services, a computer area, cable, and the residents' portal for community updates.
Indigo Carolina Forest features modern open-concept spaces, large windows for natural light, French doors, and stylish decor, and even though the place stays bright and well-decorated, the whole facility keeps a homelike and welcoming feeling, which a lot of folks can appreciate as they age and want some routine but also social connections and safety. The staff is described as professional, friendly, and caring, with SRI Management in charge. The community values letting its residents have a full, active life, whether that comes from physical therapy, creative pursuits like painting, joining in a musical group, or simply relaxing with neighbors by the pool or in the lounge, and folks can use online resources, a cost calculator, and tour photos if they want to make plans ahead of time. The facility accepts adults aged 55 and over, and keeps a diverse set of activities going, with structured programs that promote social, physical, and cognitive health, whether someone moves in just for a little help or needs more specialized memory care services.
