About The Changing Lives-SC Home Care

Compassionate Home Care Rooted in Dignity, Trust, and Community

At The Changing Lives-SC Home Care, we believe quality non-medical home care should do more than assist with daily tasks, it should genuinely enhance quality of life.

Proudly serving Columbia, South Carolina, and surrounding communities throughout Richland and Lexington Counties, we are dedicated to helping individuals remain safe, comfortable, and independent in the place they call home.

We are a locally operated home care agency built on compassion, reliability, and respect.

Our mission is simple: to provide personalized care that supports independence, preserves dignity, and brings peace of mind to families.

Our Story

We Don't Just Provide Care, We Change Lives

At The Changing Lives-SC Home Care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, dependable, and personalized home care services that allow individuals to remain safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes.

As a subsidiary of The Changing Lives Center, we carry forward a legacy of community service and dedication to improving lives throughout the Columbia area.

What truly sets The Changing Lives-SC Home Care apart is our person-centered philosophy. We understand that no two individuals are alike, and neither are their care needs. That’s why we do not offer one-size-fits-all care plans.

Every client receives a customized care plan developed around their:

Unique needs and abilities
Personal preferences and routines
Cultural values and lifestyle
Health goals and safety considerations

Our approach ensures care feels supportive — not intrusive — and empowers clients to live life on their own terms.

Specially Trained

Carefully Selected and Trained Caregivers

We believe exceptional care begins with exceptional caregivers. Our team is carefully selected, thoroughly trained, and closely supervised to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, compassion, and accountability.

Our caregivers are more than helpers, they are trusted companions who build meaningful relationships with the individuals and families they serve. Ongoing training and oversight ensure our care team remains equipped to meet both routine and complex care needs with confidence and empathy.
