Senior Housing Resort Style, AgapeSenior of South Carolina Does It Right!

Senior Housing Resort Style, AgapeSenior of South Carolina Does It Right!

For years SC department of health and Environmental control has proclaimed that assisted livings should be "home like" in appearance. Even going as far to cite facilities for not having place mats on their tables.

Agape Senior took exception to that strategy 10 years ago, proclaiming that seniors want and deserve not a home like environment, but a resort type environment. So agape adopted the model of looking like a hotel, adding dark wood furniture, oil paintings and even Tiffany chandeliers. Residents are allowed and encouraged to bring their own furniture and decorate their apartment to their own individual taste and style, but the common areas including the dining and living rooms are designed to look like hotel lobbies. Comfortable seating, beautiful furniture with an inviting feel that makes you want to sit and chat with your friends.



At Agape in Rock Hill, you will find that the residents stroll to the living room around 11am every morning and sit with each other and share stories before heading to the dining room for lunch. Lunch is served buffet style with a full salad bar and choice of entries and side items, always topped off by a desert that is custom made by chef Willie. The halls are lined with oil paintings that show scenes of Italian gardens and lovely country sides.





Now hospitals are catching on to what AgapeSenior started. Read this link to the New York Times on how environments are changing in healthcare.
