Assisted Living Communities in Boiling Springs, SC

"We had chosen Highlands Senior Living Forest City because my mom only has so much money and it fit within her range. During my tour of the place, they showed me the assisted living apartments and the lady who did it was very nice. The room has a dresser and a bed with concrete walls. They're also trying to renovate because it is an extremely old building. For food, they provide 3 meals and 3 snacks a day."

"Viva Senior Living at Gaffney is a five because of everything that I saw, the amenities and what they offer, and it's close by to me. Everybody was very helpful and attentive to what I was asking, and they answered all my questions. It's a very nice place."

"I toured LaurelHurst & LaurelWoods. It has very friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful. It has a very nice setup, and the rooms and the dining area were nice. However, there was no availability."

"We've already found Brookdale Brushy Creek and got my in-laws there. I like the overall layout. It is very open and airy. It doesn't feel cramped. This place is very clean and it smells like flowers. They have flowers everywhere and small trees - real trees, not fake trees. They have all sorts of different programs going on. People are learning to dance and they are getting people moving around. The staff is extremely helpful and extremely knowledgeable. While we were there, another patient went into some sort of medical issue, and they were Johnny on the spot. Several people came at once providing assistance, getting an ambulance to take him to the hospital, and notifying his family. It just filled me with confidence that they are taking their jobs very seriously. The place is extremely clean. There is no stuff scattered everywhere. They bring the residents out to play games, like bingo. One group of people was playing Monopoly while we were there. There were a couple of other gentlemen who were wheelchair-bound and we saw them outside in the courtyard shooting basketball hoops. There were only 3 of them, but there was a male nurse out there watching them. If the ball got away, the nurse would run and get it and bring it back, and they would shoot the ball again."

"I toured Brookdale Forest City, and it was very nice and clean. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The rooms were nice and roomy, and they had plenty to offer. It's just the price, though."

"I liked Brookstone Terrace of Woodruff. It was nice and clean. Everybody seemed happy. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and it looked like they cared for their residents. The guy told me they just finished doing some renovations. Everything on the inside looked great. They had a patio."

"My top choice would be Harmony at Five Forks. The facility is clean. Alexis, who gave me the tour, was very helpful with explaining everything that happens in the memory care community, and also it is closest to my home. We did get to tour through the dining area and I was offered something to drink. It looks more like a regular apartment-style building. It doesn't look like a nursing home."

"My sister moved into Brookstone Terrace of Simpsonville. My brother went on a tour first because he lives in that area. And then I went up and we took my sister with us, and she liked it. People were very kind and caring and seemed very professional, but they also seemed fun and I wanted my sister to have fun along with good care. So we went ahead and signed a contract and moved in on March 1st. Their staff has been so good. If I have a question, I call and they get right back to me. They answer my questions. They take very good care of her and they honestly care about her as a person. My sister is enjoying their food. Her room is kept well, and the facility itself is kept well, but I'm just kind of a neat freak. I've seen a lot of their activities because they have a Facebook page and my sister has been involved in just about all of them. But they do crafts, and they do mind stimulating games, and they play bingo, and they've played hot potato to a lot of things where there's physical interaction with the group. They just make it fun. They do a ball toss with a big parachute thing with a group. So she's been participating in almost everything."

"The Legacy at Southpointe Drive was nice. Claudia, the director, was wonderful. She's very good at what she does. The facility has two floors, so some of the residents stay upstairs and some of them are downstairs. But the activities are all downstairs, so that's the only thing we didn't like about it. My mother-in-law can't go up and down. She can't walk very far without getting winded, so that would be kind of difficult for her to have to go downstairs and do the things that are there. They have a studio apartment. It was big enough; it was a good size. They have an event calendar and they talked about the communities coming in. They have activities. They have a garden. The dining room was not very big, but it was nice."

"We toured The Blake at Hollingsworth Park. Compared to other facilities, it was pretty glamorous and it was more expensive. The staff during the tour was excellent. Everybody was very welcoming. The dining was more like a restaurant, so it was very nice. The room accommodations were very beautiful. They had a beautiful courtyard area. There was a media room. This is a very nice high-end facility."

"My mother will be moving into Kauhale Pettigru. I liked the location. It's convenient to my hometown and for all my siblings to get to. I liked the setting. It's in Downtown Greenville, so there are lots of trees and pretty outdoors. I liked that it's a smaller community. There are 20 people in memory care. It would be more conducive to the staff being more attentive. They're not overloaded. I had a pleasant experience. I liked the director who showed me around. She's very nice, very knowledgeable, and she knows her stuff. It was very clean. They had a patio and nice outdoor spaces. They had one that had a grill setup and an outdoor picnic area. They had another one that was sort of like a walking trail that just looped around the back. It was really nice."

"Spring Park was excellent. The location of that is just super. The trees were all the way around it. It was gorgeous. The facility was beautiful. The people were super nice. I couldn't say anything negative about them. They were equally nice as the other place; however, it was $1700 more, which is a big difference. The surrounding area was drop-dead gorgeous. It was secluded. You couldn't see anything but nature. It was a beautiful setting. The staff members were wonderful, too. I tried their meal, and it was unbeatable. When I left there, I thought it was the place I was going to go to. I sat with three other gentlemen who lived there, and I said, 'This meal is superb,' and they said every meal is just like it. There was nothing about the place that you wouldn't love, only the price."

"I toured TerraBella Shelby and it was nice. The people were nice. I was impressed with the rooms and everything. They took me to the rooms and showed me what room I could get for my cousin. I met some of the residents there and they like it there, and we like it. They have a spacious bath, and it is safe to use every time for the residents. The rooms are large. You use your own furniture, and we like that. In other words, you can go in there and make it just like your home. They have three meals a day. The staff was very cordial, very informative, very good, and took time with us. It was great."

"We toured Waterstone on Augusta. What I liked about it was, number one, it was a newer facility. Number two, the care that we saw exhibited there seemed excellent. The people there were very accommodating. The facility itself was excellent, very clean and sanitary. There were lots of activities for the senior adults to get involved in, and the people there were just extraordinary."
