Florence is committed to offering residents a full range of social, recreational and spiritual activities from which to choose. Scheduled transportation on the Community Van allows all residents to take advantage of travel activities. A small southern town known for blooming magnolias, palmetto trees and grits and shrimp, Florence is just ninety minutes from the shore and a welcoming destination for family and friends. This relaxed, low country setting has made Elmcroft of Florence an ideal place that many residents have called their “home away from home.”
