Their newest retirement community is located in West Columbia, South Carolina, a city is known for its friendly, welcoming, and affordable options. Situated along eight miles of the beautiful lower Saluda and Congaree Rivers, residents will be surrounded by nature and fun activities such as the renowned Riverbanks Zoo, Botanical Gardens, and Waterfall Junction.

Colonial Gardens is proud to implement Sunshine’s signature Person-Centered Care Approach which focuses on creating individualized care options for residents’ needs. The community’s Active Living Programs allows residents to live life to their fullest capability while providing a safe environment to foster independence over dependence in a private community. Colonial Gardens’ Alzheimer’s, Memory Care, and Transitional Care programs are designed to nurture the physical, social, spiritual, cognitive, and emotional needs of all residents.

Colonial Gardens’ skilled professionals offer unparalleled support for residents’ needs, including physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs, through engaging daily activities. These programs include music therapy, aromatherapy, validation techniques, socialization, a calendar of health and wellness activities, life skills stations, and more.

Additionally, the community provides options for residents and their families to choose their exact care needs and offers easy growth should those needs change or increase. Colonial Gardens offers health monitoring, medication management, as well as assistance with activities of daily living including dressing, bathing, grooming, and oral care, all delivered in an encouraging and nurturing environment. Colonial Gardens offers a range of memory care options, including Transitional Assisted Living for residents starting to experience memory challenges, Memory Care for residents with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, as well as respite and hospice care. Residents and their families can choose which options work best for their needs, and they are delivered by a 24/7 awake professional staff.

Residents will feel right at home in the community’s safe, comfortable apartments with multiple floor plan options. They can choose from private and semi-private suites, as well as companion suites. Residents can enjoy the warmer months in Colonial Gardens’ secured outdoor areas, as well.

Colonial Gardens offers residents 24/7 dining options with a program designed specifically to support memory care residents. The community’s daily menu incorporates foods from the Rush University Medical Center MIND diet, which is researched backed and fosters brain health. Entrees are served on colored plates to stimulate appetite, and a server greets each resident individually to allow independent menu choices. At Colonial Gardens, the MIND diet, when combined with the community’s many Memory Care programs, is intended to support brain health and maintain memory for as long as possible.

To make residents’ transition to retirement living easy and seamless, Colonial Gardens offers an easy-move program that eases the anxiety associated with moving as well as financial services aimed to help residents sell their home or assist with legal matters should they be necessary. Caring and dedicated staff are available for veteran assistance.

Colonial Gardens and Sunshine Retirement Community are looking forward to creating a warm, safe, enjoyable community for Brookfield’s seniors.
