Still Hopes’ ministry to South Carolina’s seniors continues to flourish today. This is due in large part to the generosity of those who know and understand the Still Hopes’ mission, and who choose to support our efforts to serve seniors with the highest quality and commitment.

In 2011, The Rt. Rev’d W. Andrew Waldo, Bishop of the Diocese of Upper South Carolina, challenged us to become more than a just great place to retire. Bishop Waldo charged us with becoming a resource for all Episcopal churches within the Diocese, offering consultation and collaboration as they build programs for seniors in their areas. Still Hopes and St. Augustine of Canterbury, an Episcopal Mission Church in Aiken, SC, have already begun such a partnership; it’s the first of what we hope will be many successful efforts within our diocese.

Through your gifts to Still Hopes, this ministry is able to lead the way forward in senior services. Without such generous support our mission would be greatly limited, both in outreach and in numbers of seniors we serve. Thanks to you, the lives of all those we serve, and many more year after year, are blessed and full. 

Within the pages of the Annual Report you’ll find descriptions of our life enriching programs for holistic wellness as well as the names of those who have paved the way for our mission to be faithfully fulfilled. 

If you haven’t yet joined Still Hopes in its journey, we invite you to become a part of this incredible family today.

With my sincere appreciation to our partners,
Danny Sanford, Executive Director

Our Still Hopes Triathlon Training Team has been hard at work for the last three weeks preparing for our race! Hard to believe we’ve been working for three weeks already! Our team is pictured above after a hard swimming workout. We have already added laps and started working on increasing our speed. They are one hard working team!

Still Hopes is going to kick off another training session April 30, 2012. This will be a 12-week triathlon training program for those who are already physically fit (runner, cyclists, or swimmers) and need a structured program to help them achieve their goal of completing a triathlon.

We recently had a bicycle education lesson, fitting, and bike safety check at Outspokin’ Bicycles in Columbia with the owner Brian Curran. He lead a phenominal class and we all learned a lot.

Still Hopes has created a page on its website that contains questions and concerns for those who are looking at a retirement community.   The Decision Page provides questions and answers from two perspectives: from a potential residents view and that of someone looking on behalf of a relative or friend.

Visit our Decision Page to see if Still Hopes is the right choice for you!

Music abounds at Still Hopes from children’s choirs to concert musicians that have performed abroad.  Still Hopes residents enjoy the many performances of the Winter/Spring and Fall Concert Series by University of South Carolina faculty, students, and other world class musicians who grace the stage in the Susan G. Robinson Garden Room throughout the year.

Our performing arts series is another reason Still Hopes is one of South Carolina’s premier retirement communities.  Learn more at StillHopes.org

Take a look at this Sunday’s Brunch menu (pdf) and next week’s Bistro Menu (pdf).

Residents and guests alike enjoy award winning dining at The Palmetto Dining Room and casual dining at the Bistro.

The Palmetto Dining Room is a full service restaurant where fine dining is guaranteed; from the five course menu to formal table settings to service that is the talk of the town.

If folks are feeling a little more casual they can stroll into the Bistro and select from the tasty salad bar, the special of the day, or from the extensive la carte menu.

Whether you are planning a visit or planning to be our neighbor, the dining at Still Hopes is sure to satisfy even the most delicate palates.

Our residents love the Still Hopes lifestyle. For many, the transition means leaving a large, demanding home for a smaller home where housekeeping, maintenance and landscaping are provided. What’s not to love about that? Residents live as independently as they choose in beautifully designed apartments, suites and cottages on a uniquely historic wooded campus less than five minutes from downtown Columbia.

Still Hopes holds the “Best of Columbia Hall of Fame” designation for consecutive years of being selected “Best Retirement Community” by Columbia Metropolitan Magazine.  Learn more at StillHopes.org.
