Thank you for your interest in our retirement community – the only continuing care retirement community model serving the Clemson area. We opened in 1980, when a small group of retired Clemson professors and local business leaders formed Clemson Area Retirement Center, affectionately known as Clemson Downs. Our friendly staff exemplifies professionalism and care by serving our residents with skill and compassion. Our 38-acre tree-lined campus is ideal for making this pastoral community your home. We are located within the city limits of Clemson, South Carolina and our purpose-built neighborhood reflect design elements that promote each resident’s wellness through engaging activities and programs. Our residents routinely take part in entertainment and educational opportunities offered by nearby Clemson University, Southern Wesleyan University, and Tri-County Technical College. At Clemson Downs, we take pride in our continuum-of-care model, fusing Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Healthcare into a unified and supportive environment. As a resident at Clemson Downs, we give you our commitment to offer services that maximize your lifestyle.
