Morningside of Georgetown in Georgetown, South Carolina, offers assisted-living care for residents who need help with everyday tasks but still want to maintain as much independence as possible. Staff members provide support with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and medication management, while coordinating with physicians and pharmacies to keep care plans current. Regular wellness checks help the team adjust services as needs change, and arrangements can be made for on-site physical, occupational, or speech therapy when ordered by a physician.
The community maintains a visitor sign-in procedure that helps staff monitor who is in the building at all times, adding a layer of security for residents. Licensed nurses are on call, and trained caregivers are on duty around the clock to respond to urgent needs or scheduled care tasks. Electronic health records and shift reports are used to keep information consistent from one caregiver to the next, reducing the chance of missed medications or lapses in care.
Accommodations range from studio to one-bedroom apartments, some equipped with kitchenettes, step-in showers, and individual climate controls. All primary utilities are included in the monthly rate, though telephone, cable, and internet services are arranged and billed separately. Select units open directly to landscaped outdoor areas, making it easier for residents to enjoy fresh air, but not every apartment has every listed feature. Intergenerational programs occasionally bring local youth into the building for shared activities, adding variety to the daily routine.
Meals are served three times a day in the community dining room, with menus planned to meet nutritional guidelines while allowing residents to choose from several entrées at each sitting. The culinary team can prepare low-sodium, diabetic, and other physician-ordered special diets. Coffee, tea, juices, and light snacks are available throughout the day so residents can eat or drink between meals without waiting for scheduled service times.
Residents have access to a range of on-site and off-site activities intended to keep them mentally and socially engaged. Scheduled social outings take small groups to shopping, dining, or local events in Georgetown. For quieter pursuits, the library and computer lounge offers internet access and a selection of reading materials, while the activity center hosts exercise classes, games, and arts programs coordinated by the life-enrichment staff.
