As a life care retirement community, Bishop Gadsden opens up your world. Whether that means you never have to mow the lawn or leave the cleaning to your weekly housekeeper, or you want life to be a bit simpler and at your own pace, we hope these features and amenities will free you up to do what you'd rather be doing — living an extraordinary life.

We have a myriad of health and wellness amenities on campus. Our fitness and exercise center features state-of-the-art cardiovascular exercise and weight training equipment. The heated, indoor swimming pool and whirlpool are open year-round. We also have spa services such as massage, facial and manicure and pedicures. If a resident needs health care services, physical therapy or prescriptions, the Outpatient Health Center, Pharmacy, and Bishop Gadsden Rehabilitation are here to help. We also offer the Life Care Benefit program, which ensures full access to our on-campus assisted living, skilled nursing and memory support care centers. Learn more.


Weekly housekeeping services are available for all residences. While accommodations include laundry rooms, we will launder bath and bed linens during weekly housekeeping visits. We coordinate all maintenance and utility services, from Internet set-up to trash removal. Green spaces and residents' yards are professionally landscaped and maintained. Our around-the-clock security personnel, emergency response systems and alarms, and well-lit and patrolled parking areas keep our community safe.

In a city famous for its cuisine, we find it only fitting that we offer a fine, fresh dining experience at Bishop Gadsden. Our menus change seasonally as our award-winning executive chef selects local produce, seafood and meat. We offer a range of dining options, from formal dining with waitstaff, to casual, cook-to-order meals in our café. We are attentive and responsive to your dietary needs and desires with the help of our staff dieticians who promote healthy eating with no transfat and a lifestyle that complements.

Bishop Gadsden has all the features and services of a small town. Some of our on-site services include the beauty and barbershop, a full-service bank, mail room, library, resident-run shops, art studio, woodworking shop, plus pub and game rooms. In addition to our spacious lounges and gathering spots, residents also enjoy the expansive courtyards, promenades, terraces, and walking and biking trails with friends, family and even their pets.

While Bishop Gadsden has a plethora of on-campus conveniences, we also provide easy access to nearby amenities that the Charleston community has to offer. Residents take advantage of scheduled transportation for shopping and activities throughout the week. We are minutes away from the beach, golf courses, parks, as well as the restaurants, theaters, museums, historic homes and other cultural attractions that make Charleston such a vibrant and unique place to live.
