Cypress Square is a senior living community in Summerville, SC that offers a range of care options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing, so folks here can stay in one place as their needs change which some people really appreciate; you'll find a two-story building, but they've designed the inside so it's easy to get around with accessible apartments, studio and one-bedroom options, and features like wall-to-wall carpet, built-in bookshelves, kitchenettes with appliances, and bathrooms with safety features, so it feels pretty comfortable and safe for residents who want both privacy and support. Residents have emergency call systems, round-the-clock staff, and a registered nurse is there or on call every day, so there's always someone if help's needed, and the staff focus on individual care plans and work with Resident Care Partners who pay attention to each person's preferences and daily needs, whether it's help with bathing, grooming, medication, or just getting around.
Weekly housekeeping, laundry, and regular maintenance services come with living here, and folks can get personal help for daily living like cooking, cleaning, or even reminders for medicine, and laundry and linens get handled too, which takes a load off most people's minds. Meals are chef-prepared three times a day with daily snacks, and the community has a restaurant-style dining room plus more casual spots, so there's good flexibility and they pay attention to special diets if needed too. Entertainment happens in the main lounge, the library or game room, and there are scheduled activities like yoga, Tai Chi, crafts, bingo, cooking club, Bible study, music trivia, ice cream socials, movie nights, and regular field trips to shops, restaurants, and community events-they even have a full-time activity director to keep life interesting and ways for residents to volunteer if they choose.
Cypress Square welcomes cats and small dogs, making it a pet-friendly place though caring for pets falls on the resident, and they don't allow large dogs which some folks might want to keep in mind, but there's an enclosed courtyard, gardening spaces, and outdoor patios for both people and pets to enjoy, plus access to safe walking paths. The community keeps safety top of mind with illuminated entryways, secure building access, emergency response systems in apartments, and regular wellness checks from trained staff, and there's on-site parking for folks who still drive or for their visitors. There's no shortage of services, from rehabilitation and occupational therapy to hospice care, brain fitness programs, and transportation for medical appointments, whether it's a doctor, dentist, specialist, or therapist in town.
The apartments and common areas come ready with phone and cable hookups, and seniors will find indoor gathering spaces like a private dining room for family occasions, a library with computer area, and a crafts room, so staying connected and engaged is pretty easy. Residents pay an entry fee of $2,000, and the community accepts private payments, checks, veterans' benefits, and Medicaid funds; meals, activities, maintenance, mailboxes, controlled access, and a supportive staff all come as part of living there under the ownership of Navion Senior Solutions, and folks can be pretty sure the care is consistent due to verified community status and a quality rating system that helps track standards. Overall, Cypress Square tries to balance safety, comfort, pets, and daily routines, so seniors can feel at home while still having the help they need when they need it.
