The Best Assisted Living Communities in Calhoun County, SC

"I've been to Longwood Plantation. The environment was just inviting just walking in. I know a resident who lives there; she was previously in another home that I used to visit, and she's here now. She gave me a beautiful tour, walking around showing me the place. It was really very uplifting, very clean, friendly, and it's a beautiful place. Out of all the places I have gone, I think that this was one of my top ones. Renee was the person that I spoke to to set up the appointment. She did a follow-up, and she was very helpful and very friendly. The day that I got there for the interview, unfortunately, she had gotten sick, so she wasn't there, but she did call back a few days later to let me know why. We were able to speak to a different lady that was there. My sister is the one who had the interview with her. She was very pleased with the information that she had given her, her attitude, and her positive talk. The resident who walked me around let me go into her room, her bathroom, and explained how they pick up the laundry, and it was really clean. I was able to go inside the bathroom, the shower, and everything in the room. She took me down the other halls to visit some other people that she knew there who used to be at another place. The environment was very pleasant. She took me into the activity room where the television was, and there was an exercise room also. Everything was really nice and clean and fresh."

"We visited and everybody was very pleasant. It was very clean and very nice. We were very impressed with it. The staff during the tour was wonderful. Chelsea was fabulous. We loved her. The rooms were very nice. Being a studio and a one-bedroom apartment, they were adequately sized. The dining area was very impressive. It was very nice. They have lots of crafts, exercise activities and places that they would go a couple of times a week. The schedule for activities was really neat. They had some planned activities every day of the week."

"It was a nice place. I enjoyed the area and thought it would have been a nice place to stay. They had a nice community gathering place, a TV room, and a place where you can go and do different games. I played the guitar and sang for them."

"Very nice, homey facility. Staff is most friendly and helpful! Only negative I've witnesses is the lack of security at the front door which is a bit disturbing. "

"I've chosen Highlands Senior Living Gaston because the cost is very reasonable. The biggest thing is that they accept Medicaid. My brother and I toured it last week and made the decision that that's definitely where I want to go. It's very nice, it's very clean, and the staff there is very nice. Every person we came in contact with, just walking down the hall, spoke and was friendly. It's a smaller community. It didn't have a lot of people, and I liked that. It has lots of amenities. I feel sure I'll be happy there, and it's not far from my family, so they could visit. When you go in, it smells nice. It didn't have any bad odors. The rooms are not really large. It's just plenty enough. It doesn't have a kitchenette, but that's fine with me. They have a library and a pool hall, which my brother likes. They take the residents out shopping. Once a week or once every other week, they take them to Walmart. If you don't feel like going that day or whatever, you can make a list of the things you need, and one of the staff will get them for you. The staff were just as nice as the people you would want to meet. My mother was in a nursing home for about three years before she passed, and just comparing it with them, they're above average and very friendly. A lot of them would stop and introduce themselves to us. They were extremely nice. My brother asked the girl who had taken us on the tour, "Do you eat here? Have you ever eaten anything here?" She said, "I eat here three times a week, and it is very, very good." When she handed us the menus, the food was not just like hamburgers. It's a nice, well-balanced meal. They have a chef there, and the kitchen is open 24 hours. If you want to go at night and get a sandwich, or you need a little snack or something, you can go in, and they'll fix it for you. You have two choices of dining area. You have the big community where everybody sits, then they have another smaller dining area that has tables and chairs, and you can eat in there if you don't want to eat with the community. If you're going down Fish Hatchery Road, you'll miss it because it's back off these pine trees, and you can't really see it. We had to take a few trips around to find it. There is a fee you pay upfront, and you pay it once. It's only $1,500, and all the other ones I've checked have been a lot more than that."
