A warm and friendly community with lots of options to engage, as well as privacy when you want it. We think we’ve found the perfect spot for my mother in the assisted living wing, and hubby and I are seriously eyeing the over-62 Independent apartments!

December 2022

Merrill Gardens is a wonderful assisted living facility. While my wife and I are not quite ready for assisted living, this location opened up near us so I went for a tour. The location is ideal - very close to the downtown area and a lovely little park area out front. It was very nicely designed with fancy amenities and made me almost look forward to our next move!

Assisted Living · Memory Care · Independent Living · Nursing Home · Continuing Care Retirement Community

Our rich history began in the early 1800s when a surveyor, John Gabriel Guignard, was hired to survey the newly established capital city of Columbia. He built a plantation here and named it Still Hopes. In 1910, Gabriel Alexander Guignard, his son, erected the Victorian mansion that now remains as the focal point of our beautiful community. It wasn’t until just over 50 years later, his daughter, Dr. Jane Bruce Guignard, bequeathed the plantation and its acreage to the Trinity Episcopal Church with a vision for it to serve the area’s seniors. Her vision became a reality in 1977 when the Episcopal Church and a Board of Trustees established the non-profit community we are today. In 1983, the Guignard Victorian mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Still Hopes is now the only Episcopal-sponsored, all-inclusive, non-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community in the greater Columbia, South Carolina area serving 400 residents with over 400 staff members for a personalized and compassionate method of care in a warm, inviting, and engaging home. Since opening, Still Hopes continues to strive for the well-fair and health of the greater community, serving others with our Still Hopes at Home program, Wellness Center open to the public on campus, and much more. Contact us for more information on our community services on campus and beyond.​ Our Mission To provide a faith based community where life will be rich and full as God intends it to be, holding to our values, serving one another with dedication and promoting health and wellness for all.
