Prestige Centre Assisted Living & Memory Care in Mt. Pleasant delivers two levels of care: Assisted Living for residents who need help with daily routines and Memory Care for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, including advanced stages. The clinical team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who remain awake throughout the night. Skilled caregivers handle complex medical tasks such as wound care, oxygen management, and specialized diet preparation. Diabetics receive monitoring whether they are on oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen, and the community also admits adults under 60 if their needs match available services.
Around-the-clock oversight is strengthened by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and an awake night shift. Entrance and exit points are secured with alarms, a fenced rear area, and pull-cord or PERS systems that immediately alert staff. Background-checked employees carry out full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can manage transfers ranging from walkers and wheelchairs to two-person or full Hoyer lifts, including bed-bound care. Regular podiatry visits are offered on site, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, while an activity director keeps daily schedules structured and engaging.
Residences include a mix of rooms—some furnished, others ready for personal furniture—with private bathrooms in select units. Residents may paint or decorate their spaces, and cable service is available where installed. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, though frequency may vary by unit type. Not every accommodation has every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific room details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diets, with options for gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures when required. Snacks are offered between meals, and staff closely monitor intake for residents who need assistance with feeding or have fluctuating appetites. Dining rooms are designed to reduce distractions for memory-care residents and to support those needing one-on-one help.
Residents benefit from practical amenities such as on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking spaces, and well-maintained communal gardens. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional conveniences include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, concierge services, special-interest clubs, and regular religious services held on site.
