BY LAUREN PIERCE THE JOURNAL

CLEMSON — Focusing on the individual needs of its residents, a senior living facility in Clemson prides itself in the care it provides through its assisted living, independent and memory care options. Clemson Heritage Senior Liv- ing opened in November 2019. It currently houses about 36 residents, including two couples, who range in age from about 68 to 104 years old, according to community relations director Debbie Duncan. “It’s an all-inclusive community, which means we don’t do different levels of care,” she said. “The price includes everything from med management and daily care to social engage- ments and food. Residents can enjoy living life without having to worry about daily stresses.” The site features 14 independent living cottages and 48 assisted living apartments that have different options, including studio, one-bedroom or a shared apartment for two people. Memory care options include 24 units that are available as studio or one-bedroom apartments. Residents have the option to share a total of 24 assisted living and memory care units. “It is a secured unit for those PHOTOS BY JERRY BEARD | THE JOURNAL exit-seeking (residents) or if From left, community relations director Debbie Duncan, business office manager Bailey Dull and executive director Amy Howard welcome they just need a little more visitors into Clemson Heritage Senior Living in Clemson. eyes on them to make sure that they’re safe,” executive director Amy Howard said. “They have a the person that they go to,” she gated, secured courtyard where said. “I do the contacts with the they can go out into the com- families, contacts with staff, munity, but still have a secured maintain records of compliance atmosphere.” with the nursing department, so Health care services are I do a little bit of everything.” available to residents onsite Harrison said she enjoys her through the “house calls” work. program of Providence Medi- “I love it here.
