Zion House

Zion House sits at 121 Moore Street in Walterboro, SC, and serves seniors who need either assisted living or memory care, so people with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia can get support here for things like bathing, dressing, and medications, and the place is really set up for memory care, with a layout that tries to keep people from getting confused or wandering off, but it doesn't feel like an institution because the staff try to keep things home-like, and a lot of folks live together in a small neighborhood-style setup, which makes it easier for caregivers and residents to get to know each other better. Residents can choose between different living options like studio apartments, condos, townhomes, private rooms, semi-private rooms, or even 1- and 2-bedroom apartments, so there are choices for different needs, and there's help for things like diabetic care, incontinence, and high-acuity or ambulatory care if someone needs that kind of extra support, plus there's a nurse on staff, physical therapy, and even hospice care. The place seems to cover a lot, with services like medication management, laundry and housekeeping, and dry cleaning, and they allow dogs and cats so people can bring their pets. There are gardens outside, walking paths, an enclosed courtyard, raised garden beds, a butterfly garden, and a hummingbird garden if someone wants to be outdoors, and inside there's a ballroom, a billiards lounge, a dining room with shared meals, a private dining room, a spa, a library, and activity rooms for clubs or crafts, along with a woodworking shop and a game room for folks who like to stay busy. Zion House also offers companion suites, a TV or theater room, a computer or media center, and a gym or fitness center, plus there's a beauty salon or barber shop for regular haircuts, and resident parking is available with both covered and uncovered spots and a security gate too. Transportation is offered-sometimes complimentary and sometimes at a cost depending on what's needed-and the kitchen staff can handle special diets at meal times. There are a lot of different languages spoken by staff-Spanish, French, Tagalog, Japanese, and more-so people from different backgrounds might feel comfortable, and there's respite care when needed if family members need a break. People can move in for independent living, nursing care, assisted living, or memory care, and there are shared spaces for gatherings or meetings if residents want to get together. Zion House has published prices and a "Get Pricing" option, and though there aren't any reviews yet, there are features for verified reviews and community information if someone's choosing between memory care communities in Walterboro. The place isn't fancy, but it's set up to handle a wide range of care needs in a way that keeps things as home-like and comfortable as possible.
