The Legacy of Orangeburg

The Legacy of Orangeburg gives seniors different options for living, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so people can have as much help as they need while still feeling at home, and the grounds feel nice with walking paths, a courtyard garden, and a swimming pool for relaxing or visiting with friends and family, which is helpful if someone likes to be outside. The apartments come in many choices, such as studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and each place has safety features with a wireless emergency response system, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and kitchenettes, so there's plenty of space for the things residents need and want, and they can enjoy privacy, but it's easy to get help from staff at any time if they're needed, which a lot of folks find comforting. For people who need help with memory, specially trained staff care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering safe housing and activities that help residents rediscover skills, while the assisted living section supports with things like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, food, and companionship so folks can stay as independent as they're able. There are services for short-term stays, home care if needed, and also hospice support, and they've got a nurse on staff and a doctor on call, plus visits from dentists and podiatrists, so health concerns can get seen to right in the building, and physical, speech, and occupational therapy can happen in-house. Fitness and wellness are a focus, with a gym, daily exercise classes, Tai Chi, and a swimming pool, and pet-friendly policies mean some folks can bring their pets, though there are restrictions on dog sizes, which makes sense to keep things manageable for everyone. The activities calendar is full, with organized games, educational classes, outings, music, crafts, and card clubs, as well as worship and meditation areas, so there's company and help to be found every day if that's what a person wants, but staying in and enjoying the library, lounge, or a quiet meal in the dining room is always an option, since three meals a day are served with menus that can be changed for different diets and snacks are available too. Personal care plans mean each resident gets what they need, with laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, utilities, and Wi-Fi included in the rent, which runs month-to-month, and there are devotional services onsite or offsite for those who want them, plus salon and barber services, transportation to appointments, and resident parking, and the building and rooms are all accessible and there's 24-hour security. The team, managed by Five Star Senior Living, tries to create a welcoming community, working with families to keep everyone as comfortable and independent as possible, and the facility is well-kept, with friendly staff and a homey feeling, so everyone has a safe place to live, participate in activities, spend time with friends, or relax, without having to worry about the small things, and Medicaid is accepted, and they can help with Veterans Affairs Aid and Assistance if that's something needed. With 44 apartments, the community feels connected but doesn't get too crowded, and though places like the dining room and activity rooms are busy, there's always a spot to retreat for peace and quiet, which a lot of folks appreciate as their needs and routines change.
