The Columbia Presbyterian Community

The staff at Jasmine Place are incredible. Their care and devotion to each resident is exceptional. Our family will always be grateful for the way they helped our mother find a sense of purpose, belonging, and comfort. This level of dedication and support is also extended to the family as they navigate challenges and work to find new ways of connecting with and embracing their loved ones.

This posting is specifically rating JASMINE PLACE, memory care unit at Columbia Presbyterian Community in Lexington County outside of Columbia. As the daughter and primary care giver of my dad, I have first hand knowledge and years of experience seeing daily the care the staff at Jasmine Place provided my father as well as other residents. Director of Jasmine Place Amy Walker and her staff provide professional, kind, compassionate loving care to their residents as well as family members. Jasmine is a safe and lovely home environment for the residents.

I got to know several of the residents and their families. Visits and input from families were encouraged. Some of the residents, including my dad, sometimes had some difficult behaviors due to their dementia, but the staff never lost their tempers and were pros at redirecting the residents when they were upset.

In April 2021, our family made the difficult decision to move our mother to assisted living at PCSC. Given the early onset of dementia, we believed this was the best choice for her well-being—and, in time, it proved to be exactly that. She quickly bonded with a neighbor, a fellow resident ten years her senior, who became like another sister to her. For several years, Mom’s condition remained stable. However, in 2024, we began noticing a gradual decline in her mental state. By July, the staff requested a family meeting. It was during this emotional and heart-wrenching conversation where it was suggested that Mom needed to transition to the memory care unit. No one wanted to admit how far the disease had progressed. It was painful for all of us. But the PCSC team was focused on preserving

Jasmine Place is wonderful. They really love and care for my mother and the communication between myself and staff is great. They keep her busy with activities, matching them with interests she had before coming there. They are always smiling and never lose patience with her. Highly recommend.
