SC EPISCOPAL HOME AT STILL HOPES (CRCF)

Still Hopes continues to be a shining example of what a retirement community should be. The friendships I’ve formed here are deeply meaningful, and the personal growth has enriched my life in ways I never expected. The facilities are always well-maintained and welcoming. The staff consistently go above and beyond to provide exceptional service, making this community feel like home. I’m truly grateful to be part of such a vibrant and caring environment!

We had many choices available when considering moving to a retirement community. Still Hopes stood out because of its excellent amenities, beautiful campus and facilities, and we were happy to leave behind all worries about home repairs and maintenance. Since moving here, we are appreciative of the kind and caring staff, their professionalism and their willingness to go the extra mile to meet our needs. We enjoy the social and educational opportunities and the strong sense of community that has made this place feel like home. We’re here to stay!

Many of my acquaintances have spent time at Still Hopes in various stages of life, from independent living to end-of-life nursing and hospice care. Many still live there, at this time mostly in apartments and cottages. Their experiences have been universally good. Those in independent living appreciate (d) the many available physical, cultural, hobbyist, entertainment activities; the musicians especially appreciated the on-site concerts and the transportation to local music and theater events. Some of these folks are busier than I am! Those with more care needs were very ably cared for, and with kindness, and attentiveness. The staff are universally friendly and competent. I can't say enough good things about Still Hopes.

We have lived at Still Hopes for 4 1/2 years and absolutely love it. Our apartment with a balcony is spacious and opens to our building’s beautifully landscaped courtyard. Our favorite experience is the multiple dining venues from more formal to bistro to coffee shops, and of course the full bar pub. Our wine list will rival most restaurants in Columbia. Also, having access to all levels of care plus being only 4 miles from Lexington hospital is a major plus. Of course we can’t omit the awesome wellness center with the 3 full time attendants and the 90 deg F swimming and lap pool.

i Have lived at Still Hopes for close to four years and have found this community to be excellent in every aspect. We worship here is our Chapel of the Holy Spirit with full time Chaplin Doug Gray, We eat delicious meals with our neighbors and family guest in the formal and casual dining areas. The Health Center has a complete set of exercise and aerobic equipment as well as an indoor pool for classes and therapy. There are three certified and degreed trainers for daily classes and personal training. The wooded on campus trail allows casual walks around the pond. The staff here is committed to the residents and we have a family relationship with everyone. Life is good at Still Hopes. In addition, the Columbia area is great for offering all of the cultural and educational opportunities for residents. In fact, the Still Hopes location is within 2 miles of the airport, major hospitals and University.
