THE HERITAGE AT ST. PAUL HOMES in Greenville offers licensed assisted-living supported by a 24-hour on-site staff and an on-call nurse. Residents can enter for traditional assisted living, short-term respite, or post-hospital recovery stays. Medical services available on the campus include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, podiatry, dentistry, hospice, home-health aide visits, ambulatory care, and diabetes management. Staff members receive specialized memory-care training and a separate memory-care wing exists on the property, although the assisted-living program itself does not advertise targeted dementia programming. A skilled-nursing facility sits on the same grounds, giving assisted-living residents priority access to higher levels of care if their needs change.
Daily support covers full assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating, as well as incontinent-care management. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers and can accommodate walkers and wheelchairs. Continuous security personnel monitor the building around the clock, and exterior doors use controlled access. Physicians visit regularly, and laboratory and pharmacy coordination are handled on site. An enclosed courtyard is available for outdoor therapy sessions, and resident and family counseling services are offered for care planning and adjustment.
Apartments vary in size and layout; some include a kitchenette, individual climate controls, and basic cable service, but these features are not present in every unit. Residents are encouraged to bring personal furniture, and maintenance is performed by staff. Independent-living tenants on the campus can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan while still retaining a largely self-directed lifestyle.
The dining program provides three meals a day served from a set menu, with alternate entrées available on request. Snacks are accessible at any hour, and the kitchen honors physician-ordered or resident-requested diet modifications such as carbohydrate-controlled, low-sodium, or mechanical-soft textures. Room service is offered during illness or by arrangement for those who prefer in-room dining.
Residents have access to wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, scheduled religious services within the building, and community transportation for local errands or medical appointments.
