About the facility
Bethea Retirement Community

Thanks to a thoughtful bequest by Dr. and Mrs. Percy Bethea and the support of South Carolina Baptists, Bethea Baptist Retirement Community opened its doors in 1960. Since then, our philosophy has remained much the same; to provide a secure, dignified environment for older persons who share the same faith and interests.

Our residents cherish and enjoy their independence. Our residents' interests range from crossword puzzles to oil painting. Even though life at Bethea is busy, our residents are never too busy to welcome a new resident or make a new friend.

Within our Community, You Can Get A Cut and Curl, Borrow Books, Get A Workout, Have Rehabilitation, Visit The Bistro, And Leave Most Of The Housework To Us.

To ensure our residents' comfort, security, and independence, Bethea has been designed to bring a host of services and amenities to your front door. Our weekly housekeeping services, for instance, will help keep your new home spic and span. You can take comfort in the welcome you'll receive from our chaplain whenever you need help with personal issues.

Security services are provided throughout the grounds and community 24 hours a day. There's even an emergency system...

We toured this community for the care for my mom. The staff was very nice and helpful. The community appeared to be clean and the environment was nice. They offer a good variety of meals that would have been a good choice. The community is further than what we wanted. We would suggest that families tour this community for the care of a loved one.

I felt that they were extremely over priced for the small rooms and community it was. It did not seem welcoming and the place had no one in the halls. Not the residents or the staff. The community was extremely clean, but it made me feel weird with no one being around.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the South Carolina regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about South Carolina regulations for Assisted Living.
