Assisted Living Communities in Charleston, SC

"My mother-in-law has been in Dayspring for 5 yrs. The staff treats her like there own grandmother, they take care of her needs and see that see gets meals that she enjoys. The reason we decided on Dayspring was because of the owners, they are a hands on couple who are there on a daily bases. I feel as though they have given me the ability to enjoy my mother instead of being her care taker. "

"Dayspring provided excellent care for my cousin for the six months that she was there. I have had experiences with two different corporate-owned facilities. Although those facilities were "prettier" than Dayspring in Hollywood, there were problems with communication and staff turnover (including management). Conscientious owners on-site make a huge difference; my cousin received more individual attention and communication was seamless. The staff is friendly and helpful and the facility is always spotlessly clean. Highly recommended."

"My sister moved into Stratford Place Assisted Living & Memory Care. The facility is relatively new, which was good. The staff members are pretty good. My sister says the food is good. They offer activities. My sister hasn't participated in anything off-site, but she likes puzzles and anything to stimulate the mind. She's got more than enough to do there. My sister has a microwave and a fridge in her room. They had no pool. They have a lounge area, a game room, a cafeteria, and movies."

"My dad moved into Cypress Square. He was in an independent living facility prior to this, but he needed more care, so I had to move him up where he'll get more care. So far, Cypress Square has been absolutely amazing. They take such good care of him. They check in on him numerous times a day. They make sure he doesn't stay in his room. They bring him out into the communal area, so he's not just left to walk away. They keep his room clean. They keep him clean. Even with dementia, he's made friends. All the family members have asked about food. He says it's very good, and he's kind of picky, so I was surprised that he was into that, so he's where he needs to be. I can sleep at night knowing that he's safe. The lady who helped me sign all the papers to get him in was amazing. She is emotional about what she does. You could tell this was not fake care. It was real, legitimate caring. It's a beautiful place. It's not fancy. It's not shiny and pretty, but they have a really nice garden where they could run around and walk around, and they don't get lost because it's on the inside."

"I lived in here for 8 months. My experience was fine. They were good to me. I had a studio apartment. They had some activities, but I did not participate in much of it. The staff was good. "

"My husband is at Kempton of Charleston. He's been there for a year. Everybody has been great. My husband loves it there. It's a very nice place. They take good care of him, so I have no complaints. It's the most beautiful place in Charleston. It's like a five-star hotel. It's relatively new. The staff members are great. They have an activities director who takes them out to various places in Charleston, which is nice. One of the things I'm the happiest about is that they do a lot of activities. They're kept busy if they want to. She encourages everyone to participate. My husband gained 15 pounds, so he loves the food. It's a little bit more expensive."

"Palmettos of Charleston was nice, but it did not have a homey feel to it. They had the normal run of the mill facility, but they started to show age too, and it had a smell to it. It was clean and the rooms were of ample size."

"It was very nice, but they did not have a room available. The staff was very nice, helpful, and informative. The rooms were a bit smaller, though. They have a memory care facility, which was what I wanted."

"My cousin moved into Indigo Hall. It is a very new place, it's just about a year old, and it's very attractive. They have a lovely dining room, although she does not go there very much because she prefers to have her food brought to her room. She has a nice apartment, and it has lots of light. She says the caregivers are really good to her, but because of the virus, we can't go visit. They have a menu, and she is very agreeable. So, if they come in and just read off the specials, she'll say yes and then she will complain. I have talked to somebody about that and they said, "We'll see if we can get it better." They have exercise, a library, a computer room, and they have wheelchair exercise. She is in a wheelchair because she has a lung disease, and she can't walk very far without losing her breath. They have a lot of activities like gardening and they have a beauty shop where the residents are entitled to go once a week at no extra charge. I can't remember all of them, but they have quite a list that comes out on their calendar. She seems happy there, overall, and she is happy with the staff. She says that they're very nice to her and very polite."

"My wife will be moving to this facility. It was walking distance from where I live. They gave me a full tour of the whole facility. The rooms were extremely nice. They looked very, very comfortable. It looked like they're being kept active. However, it's really hard to say because my wife's had a stroke, so I really don't know how much activity she'll be able to do. The community dining area was nice. It was a very pleasant atmosphere. I didn't see anything that would made me think otherwise. The staff were very pleasant. They looked like they had a lot of patience."

"Our experience with Wellmore of Daniel Island has been very good. I have not been allowed to go in because of the COVID restrictions, but it looks very clean. From what I saw, the people seemed pretty happy and well attended to."

"I'm very pleased with Ashley Landing Assisted Living. It is an older facility, which has its drawbacks, but the staff is great, and they meet my parents' needs. My mom is not too crazy about the food. She thinks the portions are a little small because she's a bigger woman, but overall I don't have any complaints. They're very accommodating and they're handling their medicines for them, which was a tremendous thing for me. Overall, I'm very pleased with everything they've done so far. They have Bingo, checkers, music, and some form of devotion or church site. Overall, with the service they provide, it's very good."

"Savannah Place is the only one we found that takes dogs, and that's the number one thing for us. That really was our number one priority because my mom has a service dog that's connected to her hip. When I went there, I was impressed that they were very caring. I liked the place. It wasn't one of the kinds that get everybody up at eight o'clock in the morning, and the residents have to stay up all day long. Some of the others have rigid rules. This place is not like that. It was clean and welcoming. It was the kind of place that had the garden on the inside of the community, so there was access to be able to get out at many, many places there. I felt it was safe. It was great, and I liked it. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and answered all my questions. Just about everybody came in and introduced themselves to me. I spoke to a lot of them there. The place had nice big rooms opened up to the outside. I liked that it's sunny and airy."

"We toured and it was very nice, clean, bright, and airy. Everybody seemed happy there. We liked it, and it is one of our two finalists. All the residents seemed well taken care of and happy. They pretty much had everything. We liked the fact that they had home care that came in. They also had physical and occupational therapy, a salon, and a gym."
