"I had always heard wonderful things about this facility but up until recently had never had the opportunity to see for myself. What I found was that the staff members were always friendly and courteous. I especially noted how nice they were to "Papa's" young three year old granddaughter. When she visited they would always make a point to say hello and actually speak to her, which I thought was so very sweet and really helped her cope with this change in her "Papa's" life. While I personally did not have any contact with the social worker/admitting team I thought that it was wonderful that they were able to place "Papa" and his wife in the same room. I felt that this was so important because it allowed them some sense of normalcy at a time when they were dealing with much upheaval and turmoil. The building and grounds are beautifully maintained, and it's obvious the staff take great pains to make sure that the facility feels like a home rather than an "institution." This, again, is wonderful for the residents and the family and friends that are frequent visitors. Another big benefit of this personal care home was it's location. It is located in the center of town and was therefore easily accessible to all family and friends who visited. All in all, I really don't have a negative word to say about this assisted living center. I hope that my own parents will not need such a facility for many more years, but if/when they do I would not hesitate to use Sterling House. "

"I didn't want to take my dad out of North Augusta, because his friends are there, his church is there, and his family is there. He picked them. They seem to care about him. It's also in the country, and there are trees that he's familiar with when he looks out the window. We're very pleased so far. He seems to enjoy the food and he's not complaining. That's one of the reasons we put him in there too, because they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That's something he's not getting at home. He lives by himself. He needed more attention as time goes by. Now he's getting breakfast instead of just a bowl of cereal. This morning he just had scrambled eggs, bacon, and a piece of toast with jelly on it. They also take the residents on several field trips."

"There are lots of things that I liked about At Home Senior Living of Thomson. First of all, it was a nice new facility. They had assisted living on one side and then Alzheimer's care on the other side. So, if the person progressed from assisted living to needing more care, they wouldn't have to move to another facility, but simply go on the other side. That was, to me, an advantage. The other thing was they didn't have too many people there. And it was very nicely arranged. They had their own separate rooms. They weren't put like two to a room. Everybody had his own private little room like a tiny little apartment, which was nice. They did have a community room where they could get together and do crafts and things like that. The staff all seemed to be very nice. I was impressed. The only thing was they don't take veterans and they don't take any kind of Medicare/Medicaid insurance. The only kind of insurance they take is if you have personal long-term care insurance. To me, it was like a spa-like area. It was so nice, like a high-end hotel or something that you could live in, and have all your things taken care of. This was a really high-end place where they seem to be dedicated to doing the best they could."

"Silver Bluff Grove Senior Living was very welcoming. We were able to talk to the director. She gave us a tour of the facility as well as the dining facility, the memory care unit, their daily activities, and stuff like that. She was able to answer all our questions. The rooms were nice and clean. They're studio apartment size. They showed us the senior activities. They have some therapy, and there's a courtyard, too."

"I chose Hitchcock Square for my husband because it's close to my house. It's a studio. He has a big bath and a twin bed. The staff was very good. I would call them and they would come. They have a different variety of food every day but it isn't very good. The building is old but it's good enough."

"I toured Oaks at Aiken. It's brand new, so of course it'll present well. The lady that we talked to was very informative and gave us a lot of information to think about. The first thing was it has very open floor plans for the majority of the facility, and the rooms seem very well-appointed and efficient. The staff were just very friendly, very efficient as far as answering our questions and had been very helpful. They had an activities room. They had an arts and crafts room and a movie theater area. They had an area where you could go in and meet for Bible instruction. They share their religious interests."

"It was very good, welcoming, and clean. He is there now. Their staff and services are very good, and they're accommodating. The rooms are fine, and the food is fine; everything's fine. I would recommend them. They have Bingo, music, inspirational things, and card games. Every morning and afternoon there's something happening. "

"We placed my mother in Tapley's Personal Care Home. Overall, this facility is fine. This place is a converted residential home; however, it's very clean. It's also located right in Evans and it's very close to grocery store and shopping area. The staff is very good and very polite. They do a very good job. They take extremely good care of my mother. Mom is in a nice semi-private room. She has her own closet and her own TV. Food is excellent. They're homecooked meals and they're very healthy food. In terms of activities, everyday they're doing some type of playing games. They keep their clients active. They also do field trips. "

"I did look at Elmcroft of Martinez. It looked pretty nice, and I might consider it later because, right now, I am happy where I am. I just really went in, talked to them for a few minutes, and picked up some literature. The people I talked to were very helpful. I haven't seen the room, but I told them that I will do that later. It is quite updated -- the structural part. "

"After my father passed away last year my 91 year old mom decided to finally move into an assisted living facility. I was in charge of going to all of the different places that offered the care she was looking for. After extensively researching several we felt that The Claiborne was by far the best and a nice bonus was that it was less expensive than the others. Everyone there is very attentive to her needs and her health has actually improved over the past year. That doesn’t mean they’re perfect, but any issues we’ve encountered have been addressed to our satisfaction. With the onset of the pandemic I must say that I felt a huge wave of relief knowing that she was in a safe place instead of home alone. The staff was steadfast on all safety concerns and there were no incidents like we heard about in other places in our area. They always keep me up to date by email or a phone call if needed. Any time I’ve called there to ask questions they have always answered them and communicated well. Mom is very happy there and has made many friends despite the lockdown. They have lot’s of activities to keep their residents busy. There are all the amenities you can think of and they all are run by excellent staff. One major difference I noticed myself is the ease everyone has of getting around compared to the other places I visited. Every other one I went to had narrow halls that forced anyone with a walker or wheelchair to have to move aside when someone was passing by. Claiborne has very large open spaces especially where the residents gather and in the main hallways. This may not seem like a big deal but I saw for myself how uncomfortable it was for the residents to move around elsewhere so I was impressed with that detail. Last but not least, with mom’s care plan there was a significant cost savings compared to ALL of the other choices in our area, which was surprising considering how beautiful the place is. I thought we made a good decision then and I still feel that way today. If you’re considering assisted living or memory care for yourself or your family do yourself a favor and take the time to visit. I have always been satisfied with the high level of professionalism that you get from the front desk all the way up to the manager. They’ve helped us the entire way through the adjustment and I couldn’t imagine myself or mom being treated any better anywhere. It’s a great place, you’ll see! "
