About This Community

Situated among beautiful lagoons and Spanish moss draping over ancient oak branches, Franke at Seaside has become a haven for older adults seeking an active, worry-free future.

As a non-profit ministry, Franke at Seaside is a continuing care retirement community focusing on the enrichment of resident, client, and patient lives. Individuals at Franke at Seaside can take advantage of the numerous services and amenities that foster old hobbies and encourage new adventures.

Residents have the security of a continuum of care which provides a safety net that includes independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory support, rehabilitation, and more.

Independent Living

You’re an active older adult who enjoys attending social gatherings, visiting the latest installation at your favorite art museum, and buying season tickets for your hometown team.

As a resident at Franke at Seaside, you not only maintain your current lifestyle but you can spend more time doing what you love. With housekeeping and linen service, grounds keeping, and maintenance included, you can take advantage of the full schedule of activities happening on campus or take a trip to the neighboring Shoppes at Seaside for shopping and exploring in nearby downtown Charleston.

If you'd rather spend more time at home, take a leisurely swim in our aquatic center or join a fitness class among numerous friends. Elevate your spiritual journey through Bible studies, devotions, discussions with our full-time chaplain, or spend quiet time in private meditation. Plan a dinner party right in your spacious, luxurious home. With an array of residential choices, we welcome you to explore the many ways in which each floor plan and option may fit into your independent, vibrant lifestyle.

Assisted Living & Memory Support

Exuding our long history of providing excellent long-term care to senior adults, our healthcare community offers many levels of compassionate care and services. By getting to know each resident personally, our team can collaborate with family and personal doctors to implement a plan which encourages independence while also ensuring a safety net of different levels of care if and when it's needed.

Residents throughout our continuum can take advantage of our spacious living room, dedicated wellness and exercise room, gift shop, and several multi-purpose spaces which house numerous concerts, performances, and lectures throughout the year. Or, if they'd rather, they can choose to retire in the familiar surroundings of their current home as we bring the advantages of CCRC living to you.

Allow us to be there for you or your loved one through every step of retirement by providing exceptional care and infinite dignity from independent living to our wonderful hospice care program.

I thought Franke Home was a nice facility. It was a little pricey and, I think, they had some buy-ins, but they really were not clear about that. The only thing, there was just one meal a day. They seemed to have a whole list of activities going on.

We found Franke, and my mother-in-law will be moving in in September. She's starting out in independent living, but she can graduate to assisted and nursing home if needed in the future. We knew of it because we live here. She had a wonderful visit, and they've been incredibly accommodating, and her apartment is getting fixed up now. The apartment is lovely. All the independent rooms have a porch off the living area, which gives some more square footage and the ability to feel like you're outdoors. To me, the rooms at Franke were far superior. The other thing she liked about it was that she only has to include one meal a day, so that she can eat her breakfast or her lunch in her apartment. She can pick and choose when she eats in the dining room or the cafe. The dining area is lovely, perfect. When she visited, she said the food was better than any restaurant she's been to. They have art classes, book clubs, and they go to symphonies. They have current event clubs and play mahjong. If it's a bit too hot, they have an indoor pool for water aerobics and swimming. They have a huge athletic gym with equipment. They have physical therapy. I think it's very vibrant. It's a community that emphasizes active living, so it's very intellectually and physically stimulating. They do stuff to keep them young and active.

Franke Home looked very good, but it wasn't for my mother. The staff was very good. You buy a suite for a couple of hundred thousand dollars. Their people were very, very independent. They looked nice. The people there probably went to work. They have houses; they have their apartments. They have a beautiful indoor pool. They had a parking garage. They have everything.

Over at Franke Home at Seaside, the room was very tiny. My older sister's take on it was that it barely had a room for a twin bed. The residents were really living inside their rooms. They were out of action most of the time. There were some things about its assisted living area that were still there from a good ten, fifteen years ago. And, you still have about a six inch lift to step over and walk into the walk-in shower, which could be enough of an impediment for those who are mobility challenged. The staff was very congenial. They were able to answer a lot of questions and were just very, very positive.

This facility is located in a quiet area; the grounds are very large and quite beautiful, providing many opportunities for outdoor activities for residents. The inside of the buildings were clean and spacious, and there are many different levels of care for different residents. The medical care available is proficient, and when they are not able to provide care to a high enough level, they will send the resident to a nearby hospital. The care attendants are numerous and very attentive. They exhibit a high level of competence and patience with older residents, and are always available when needed. My only complaint was that the food in the facility is not very good, and the rooms for the patients look a little dated. However, everything is kept up as well as possible, and there are restaurants in the same area to take residents to when you visit. All in all, a very well run establishment.
