What Wildewood Downs does

Wildewood Downs is a luxury Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) operating on a 37-acre gated property at 731 Polo Road in Columbia, South Carolina. The community serves seniors aged 55 and older through a full continuum of care that includes Active Adult living, Independent Living (cottage homes of 1,794-2,439 sq ft and 1-3 bedroom villa apartments), Assisted Living, Memory Care (operated through the wholly-owned Reflections at Wildewood Downs subsidiary), Skilled Nursing, Short-Term Rehabilitation, Respite Care, and a transitional Independent Living Plus tier.

Skilled Nursing services hold a CMS 5-star rating.

The company generates revenue through three streams: one-time entry or reservation fees for cottage and villa residences, recurring monthly service fees ranging from approximately $3,000 to $8,000 depending on accommodation type and service level, and additional recurring fees for higher-acuity care services such as Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing. Cottages start in the low $200,000s and villa apartments in the low $100,000s. Sales are conducted through a sales-led model featuring lifestyle advisors who guide prospects via direct phone outreach and online tour scheduling, supported by content marketing, social media presence, and Signature Experience events. The property is managed by Senior Living Communities, a strategic parent company operating 18 senior living communities with approximately 3,500 team members.
