Charleston senior care questions, answered

How much does senior care cost in Charleston, South Carolina?

What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Charleston?

Assisted living in Charleston supports residents who need help with activities of daily living — bathing, dressing, medication reminders — but who can still move safely around a community. Memory care is a secured, higher-staffed environment purpose-built for Alzheimer's and other dementias, with locked exteriors, dementia-trained staff and structured routines. Memory care typically costs 30–40% more per month than assisted living in the same Charleston building, and many South Carolina communities offer both on one campus so residents can move between levels without leaving.

What should I look for when choosing a senior care facility in Charleston?

Start with the government data: CMS overall star rating, health inspection score, staffing hours per resident per day, and the number and severity of deficiencies in the last three survey cycles. Then verify staff turnover, ask what the ratio is overnight and on weekends, confirm exactly which services are bundled into the base monthly rate in Charleston, and check whether the community accepts South Carolina Medicaid if long-term funding may be needed. Finally, tour twice — once scheduled and once unannounced at a mealtime.
