Canterfield of Bluffton in Okatie, SC offers assisted-living services designed to support residents who need help with daily activities while maintaining as much independence as possible. Licensed nurses are on site or on call around the clock to monitor health conditions, oversee medication management, and respond to emergencies through the community’s call-system. Caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, transfers, continence care, and other personal tasks, and they coordinate with outside physicians, pharmacies, and rehabilitation providers to keep care plans current. Regular vital-sign checks, chronic disease monitoring, and scheduled transportation to medical appointments further support residents’ health needs.

Beyond direct medical oversight, the staff organizes individual service plans that outline the specific level of assistance each resident receives with housekeeping, laundry, mobility, and errands. A wellness coordinator tracks progress, schedules exercise sessions, and arranges therapy visits when ordered by a physician. Safety measures include secured entries, handrails in common areas, well-lit corridors, and routine room checks. Social programming—such as group fitness, cognitive games, and supervised outings—is built into each resident’s schedule to encourage engagement without compromising safety.

Residences range from studio suites to one- and two-bedroom apartments, each equipped with a private bath, emergency call system, and basic utilities. Some floor plans add kitchenettes, patios, walk-in closets, or upgraded finishes, but not all accommodations have all these features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and small pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

The dining program provides three meals a day served in a restaurant-style dining room, with snacks and beverages available between meals. Menus are reviewed by a dietitian to ensure balanced nutrition, and the kitchen can prepare low-sodium, diabetic, and other physician-ordered diets. Residents may request lighter fare or choose from multiple entrée options, and room-service meals are available during illness or by arrangement.
