The Blake at Edgewater in Indian Land, South Carolina, provides two levels of licensed care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—with medical oversight geared to residents who need consistent monitoring. Team members are trained to manage wandering behaviors both during the day and overnight, supervise residents who are up all night, and administer diabetic care for those on oral medications or insulin injections. The Memory Care program is structured to accommodate advanced dementia, pairing these residents with staff who understand cognitive decline and behavior changes.
Staffing and safety protocols are designed to meet medical needs around the clock. An RN or LPN is on staff, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and awake night-shift caregivers complete frequent rounds. Door alarms, background-checked personnel, and in-room pull cords further support resident security. A dedicated therapy room allows on-site rehabilitation services, while direct assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help for walker users to one-person transfers for wheelchair users, ensuring residents can move safely throughout the building and during personal care routines.
Residences at The Blake vary in layout and finish. Some apartments feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable hookups, while others include a smaller set of these options; residents can ask about repainting or decorating to personalize their space. Housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry service helps maintain clothing and linens without placing the burden on residents or families.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet general nutrition guidelines, but the culinary team can modify textures and consistencies for those who need mechanical-chopped or thickened-liquid diets. Snacks are offered between meals, and families may reserve the private dining room for special occasions or quiet visits, ensuring dietary accommodations continue even during gatherings.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, library, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Internet access and concierge support help with daily tasks and scheduling. Special-interest clubs encourage social engagement, and the community offers shuttle transportation for medical appointments to reduce the need for outside arrangements.
