The Palmettos of Parklane in Columbia, SC offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to move between levels of support without leaving the community. Care teams are trained to address moderate dementia, including residents who wander during the day or night, display behavioral challenges, or manage diabetes with oral medications. Individual service plans are adjusted as conditions change, ensuring that medical oversight meets state guidelines and physician directives.

Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, backed by an awake night-shift team, an activity director, 24-hour security, and door-alarmed exits for added safety. On-site podiatry services and a dedicated therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and offer some physical help at mealtimes when needed. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to two-person lifts, and equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs is accommodated.

Apartments are designed for basic comfort and practicality. Select units feature individual temperature controls to help residents regulate their own environment, and some offer cable service. Housekeeping is provided on a scheduled basis, but exact amenities vary by apartment, so it’s best to confirm specific features during a tour.

Dining follows a set menu that aims to meet recommended nutritional guidelines, and staff monitor intake for residents who require oversight. Snacks are available between meals, and modified textures or special diet options can be arranged through the clinical team when medically necessary.

Community amenities include resident parking, full wheelchair access throughout the building, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, a concierge desk, a library, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or errands.
