The Colonnade at West Ashley

The Colonnade at West Ashley, located in Charleston, SC offers assisted living & memory care. Visit Provider Website

Four named apartment layouts, private studios and a choice of dining rooms, with not one price attached to any of it on The Colonnade at West Ashley's own website.

The community is in Charleston, SC, offering assisted living and memory care on one site, with respite stays too. Four named apartment layouts sit on the assisted living side, private studios on the memory care side. No price appears anywhere on the community's own website for either level, so the layouts, the dining rooms and the month-to-month terms the community sets out are what you can compare on paper before you get a number.

Pricing at The Colonnade at West Ashley

The Colonnade at West Ashley does not state a monthly rate for assisted living or memory care anywhere on its own website, including its cost-calculator page, which compares your household expenses rather than showing a community figure. The local market range for assisted living in the area runs from $3,902 to $4,144 a month. One request through Get Pricing gets you the community's own number for the apartment and care level you would take, so you can compare it against that range.

Apartments at The Colonnade at West Ashley

Assisted living has four named layouts on the community's own site:

• Studio
• Studio with Alcove
• Deluxe Studio
• One Bedroom, one bathroom

Memory care is private studio apartments. Square footage is not given for any of them, so ask for the dimensions of the apartment you would be offered, so you know whether your own furniture fits before the move rather than on the day.

Living at The Colonnade at West Ashley

The assisted living side sets out what a week looks like: chef-prepared fine dining three times daily, a private dining room, happy hour with a full-service bar, weekly housekeeping with linen and laundry, a full-time Activity Director, and utilities included. Staff are available 24 hours a day, there is a beauty salon and barber shop, and pets are welcome, though an additional fee may apply. Dining runs across a main dining room, a casual bistro and a private dining area.

Memory Care at The Colonnade at West Ashley

Memory care is private studio apartments in a familiar, comfortable setting with secure indoor and outdoor spaces, a movie room, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and staff available around the clock. Meals are described as fresh, never frozen or precooked, with support for texture-modified diets. No meals-per-day count is given for memory care the way it is for assisted living, so if mealtimes matter to a parent's routine, settle that in the first conversation.

The 30-Day Guarantee at The Colonnade at West Ashley

A risk-free guarantee is set out on the community's own site: your stay is month-to-month with no long-term lease, and within 30 days of moving in you can decide it is not the right fit and leave, with the community deposit and any rent paid refunded under the conditions given there. Read those conditions before relying on it, because what the term takes out of the decision is the fear of being locked into a year somewhere wrong.

Around The Colonnade at West Ashley

The community describes itself as a short drive from Fort Sumter, with the museum at Charles Towne Landing State Historical Site nearby. Respite care is offered here too, which is the route families take when a caregiver needs a break, and it is arranged in the same request as pricing.
