Charleston Senior AdvisorDaniel Island and the Cainhoy peninsula are the parts of the City of Charleston that lie in Berkeley County, between the Wando and Cooper rivers, reached by I-526 and Clements Ferry Road. The 29492 ZIP code covers the island's planned neighborhoods and the fast-growing Clements Ferry corridor.
Two large assisted living communities, one with an Alzheimer's unit and a licensed nursing home on the same campus, make Daniel Island one of the area's newer concentrations of senior housing. Because it is technically Berkeley County, Daniel Island buildings fall outside the Charleston County hurricane sheltering rule, a detail worth asking about on a tour.
