The Still Hopes Legacy
 Shortly after the turn of the nineteenth century, John Gabriel Guignard
established a home place on these peaceful grounds. The land survived the
Civil War and in 1910, Aleck Guignard built the elegant Victorian home that
continues to serve as the centerpiece of life at Still Hopes. Dr. Jane Bruce
Guignard bequeathed the house and 39 acres to Trinity Episcopal Church some
48 years later. Her belief was that the home could serve a greater purpose
by providing care for a senior population.
 Under the joint sponsorship of the Episcopal Dioceses of South Carolina and
Upper South Carolina and under the leadership of a dedicated Board of
Trustees, Still Hopes became a non-profit retirement community in 1977.
Since then, the community has expanded numerous times to meet the changing
needs of its residents.
