Assisted Living Communities in Easley, SC

"We toured Brookdale Brushy Creek. The room had a separation of the bedroom and the sitting area, and we liked that. They have outside gardens. It's a small facility. The employees have been there a long time, which is a good sign. The staff are great. They have lots of amenities, more than my dad would ever need. They have things for the seniors to do, they have therapy, and they have someone on staff if my dad needs medical attention. They pretty much have everything there."

"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."

"I visited Summit. The staff was nice and showed me around. The room was adequate. The common dining area was OK. However, it was too far for me to drive. "

"North Pointe seemed nice and new but not visually fancy. The people were really nice. We talked to several of the residents who seemed to be very happy. I was impressed with the tour. The lady that presented the tour was very informative, but she was too exuberant, and I was not able to ask questions. She was perfectly nice. They had fairly good activities. "

"Harmony at Five Forks was very nice in every way. The staff who toured us was very accommodating to us. The place was pristine and clean. The room we saw was very nice and very attractive. I would say the place looked modern. The outdoor space looked very nice too and they offered a lot of amenities."

"My mom moved to The Residences of Greer. It's a convenient location for us, and I like the size and cleanliness of the room. The staff is very friendly. The food is adequate. They pick up the trash every day. The dining room area and the hallways could be a little bit cleaner."

"It was very good. My mother-in-law was there for a few months, and she was very happy there. It was a very good place to go, and she enjoyed it there. They had very good staff too. They were very caring, and the place was clean. Sometimes their food was a little bit bland, but it was just occasionally. "

"Brookstone Terrace of Simpsonville was very clean. The tour guide was very good in explaining things. The only thing I was uncomfortable with is that the memory care resident is mixed in with the regular population resident, but it is a smaller facility, so they are able to handle that well. It had a physical therapy and occupational therapy room available, and an outdoor area."

"Manning Square was clean, quiet, and seemed well staffed. The personnel were all nice. It was a secure facility, too. The staff during the tour was good. She assisted me and had answers for everything. It seemed well-kept. The vibe seemed quieter than in the other places. I didn't see a whole lot of residents. I know they were there. Their doors were open, but they were in their rooms when I went."

"We toured Belvedere Commons of Seneca. It was very clean, and it looked like they were very organized. I felt like it was a good place. The rooms were about the same as all the others, but they were adequate. Everything was up to what it should be. I've not tried their food, but the dining area was adequate. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. They're all very helpful. If there are any negatives, I would say that they charge for cable, whereas all the others don't. They also charge for different levels of care."

"When we toured The Residences at Park Place for my daughter, we observed activities; that was great. There were quite a few activities happening there (physical activities). There was a group that was doing some physical activity, and there was someone doing something else, but I don't remember what it was. The activities were great, and the place was really nice. The tour was great. We looked at several different options there in terms of rooms. The rooms were clean, nice, and spacious. The person that did the tour was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a great experience, but the only thing that lacked is diversity (which is an issue that we're having). It wasn't that they did lack it, but they never had that race (the African American race). It was an issue."

"Everyone treated the resident with respect. Very patient. Addresses all of the family concerns quickly.. "

"My mother is currently living at the Woodlands at Furman. It's beautiful, it's a beautiful location, a nice facility, and everything there is lovely. It has a beautiful lobby and they have great facilities, but she does not take advantage of anything. I think the staff is great, they're wonderful, and everything, from the food to the way they maintain the place, is immaculate. They have great activities, they take the residents out, they have a private car service if someone wants to go to the doctor, they travel in a Lincoln Continental, and they're picked up and dropped off. If they have activities, it's in one of those coach buses. They're on the campus of Furman University, so they have access to all the athletic facilities as well as the campus theater and concerts. It's walkable if they're able to walk, and for those that can't make it, they drive them. There are no other life-care communities that have the same cost here in Florida, and if we move her here it would be month-to-month payments."

"I wanted my mother to be closer to me, so I found this place. I'm satisfied with all of them. Everybody did their job, and they were caring. She was there for rehabilitation, but she got dementia very quickly. I was really impressed because I was so disappointed in the other facility she was before. The rooms are nice. You have to bring your own furnishing, but they were nice enough to let her use the furnishings that were already there free of charge. "
