Myrtle Beach Community Cuts Ribbon, Officially Opens Doors

Published: November 16, 2022

By way of a ribbon-cutting celebration, November 15 marked the official opening of Indigo Carolina Forest, a 166-unit independent and assisted living community in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.


“The Carolina Forest area is a delightful place to call home,” SRI Management and SR Companies CEO Don Bishop said. “The addition of Indigo Carolina Forest in the Myrtle Beach area provides families in this area with a higher standard of living for their loved ones seeking the best in care for the next phase of their lives.”


The community offers 166 total units including 89 independent living apartments, 14 independent living villas, 44 assisted living apartments and 19 memory care options in an amenity-rich, innovative environment. Atlanta-based real estate development company, Compass Living, together with Bourne Financial Group are proud to officially open Indigo Carolina Forest. The community sits on nearly nine acres of well-accessed land in the heart of the Carolina Forest.


"This community is the third senior housing development for our company, with several more in the pipeline, all poised within the thriving areas seniors want to call home,” said Bob Godard, chief executive officer, Compass Living. “Built in the beautiful Carolina Forest, the accessibility of this site to the entire region, coupled with the offering of a substantially larger, resort-style living option than competitive area communities provide, Indigo Carolina Forest is ideal for families and residents in the region seeking the highest standards in amenities, activities and care.”


In addition, Indigo Carolina Forest is adding approximately 85 job opportunities for local job seekers, infusing more than $2 million in annual salary and wages into the Myrtle Beach region.


Indigo Carolina Forest Executive Director Randy Hudson said he's “excited to show this senior living community to families and future residents. This is a new way to think about senior living, and it’s something you just have to see.”

We're proud to share that SRI Management has once again been named one of Florida's Best Companies To Work For, ranking #6 among medium-sized employers statewide. This marks the fifth consecutive year we've earned this recognition from Florida Trend magazine's annual Best Companies To Work For In Florida program. Why this one means something different Being named to a list like this once is a nice moment. Being named to it five years in a row tells a different story — one about consistency, not luck. This recognition isn't based on marketing or self-promotion. It comes from an independent evaluation of workplace policies and practices, paired with a survey measuring real employee satisfaction. In other words, it reflects what it's actually like to work here, according to the people who do. "Being named to this list once is meaningful. Being named five years in a row tells you something different — it tells you this isn't a moment, it's who we are," said Don Bishop, CEO of SRI Management. "Our teams show up every day for the residents and families we serve, and this recognition belongs to them." "What makes this mean the most to me is that it's driven directly by our employees' voices," said Ryan Carlson, SVP of Human Resources. "That's not something you can manufacture — you have to earn it, year after year." A recognition built on people, not policy Florida's Best Companies To Work For program is managed by Florida Trend and the Workforce Research Group, and endorsed by the HR Florida State Council. To qualify, companies must employ at least 15 people in Florida and have been in operation for at least one year. From there, participating organizations are evaluated on workplace policies, practices, and culture — and their employees are surveyed directly to measure satisfaction. At SRI Management, we believe great senior living care starts with a great workplace. When our teams feel supported, valued, and set up to succeed, that care extends naturally to the residents and families who trust us every day. We're grateful to every team member across our communities and home office who made this fifth consecutive recognition possible. Here's to continuing to raise the bar — together.
