Ashlan Village in Lyman, SC offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care within the same campus, allowing residents to move between levels of support without changing communities. The staff is equipped to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risks, residents who stay up all night, complex wound care, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetes—both oral-med and insulin-dependent. Services also extend to adults under 60 and to individuals living with advanced dementia, ensuring continuity of care as medical needs evolve.

Direct care is backed by a workforce that has undergone background checks, with an awake night shift and 24-hour staff presence for rapid response. Residents can summon help by pull cord or personal emergency response system, and an Activity Director maintains daily engagement. On-site podiatry reduces the need for outside appointments. Assistance can be provided with full bathing support, full dressing and toileting help, and partial assistance at mealtime. Transfer options range from simple standby supervision to one- and two-person transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs.

Accommodation choices include studios and apartments, some featuring private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Not every unit contains every feature, so families can review floor plans to match personal preferences and budget.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, and the kitchen accommodates physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications. Snacks are available throughout the day, and staff can provide prompts or hands-on support to ensure adequate intake for residents who need extra oversight.

Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common areas. A barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, and transportation services round out the conveniences, while personal laundry is offered for an additional fee. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
