Assisted Living Communities in Goose Creek, SC

"I toured Brookdale West Ashley. It was small. I liked the small size of the entire community. Melissa was very nice. She was very helpful, answered questions, and took time with me, and I appreciate that very much. It was very clean and it smelled nice. There were signs posted. She showed me the signs that the residents would be seeing on disrupting them, like for their meals and so forth. So, it was very nice."

"I toured Harmony at West Ashley. They were very large. They had over a hundred residents, and they have a separate area for independent living residents and assisted living residents, which was good. It was very nice. They were clean. The room was a little bit bigger than the other facility. They have a nice-sized library and a game room. In fact, they were getting ready to have an event where they would be having disco nights. The staff was nice, the few that I met. They had a hostess who would come in and welcome you, and she was playing the piano. The dining area was nice. It's like eloquent dining, like if you're in a restaurant. They give you the menu, she said. And, they can pick from the menu what they want. The manager I talked with was very nice and friendly, and took the time to explain everything. She went and helped tour the facility with me, so it was very nice."

"My sister is in Cooper River Assisted Living. We looked at it and met with the director. It was clean. The director was very accommodating and informative. We looked at a room that was a corner room with two windows and a small refrigerator, and it had security, which we like because we fear that she would walk out. She seems to enjoy doing the activities there. They do her laundry and meals, and she's got a TV. She can bring in her own furniture. A big selling point for us was the fact that she wears a wristband, and she can't just walk out the front door. An alarm will go off. Also, we met some of the staff at the front desk, and it was like a nice open lobby. This was more conveniently located for us, too. Price-wise, it was more within her budget. They've been great, so the price is workable for now. She seems happy there. It is smaller than the other place that she was in."

"I have been to Franke at Seaside. My friend is in the independent living side. It's absolutely perfect. It's beautiful. The grounds are well kept. Everything is very clean and very nice. It's like a resort almost. My friend has no complaints. She likes it quite well, but I didn't personally meet any of the staff members. They have beautiful dining areas and a chapel for church-type things. They have activity rooms where they could go in and do crafts or stuff like that. It was just very pleasant. The residents looked well dressed. I would say it's a very affluent community. I thought the activities were good. The food was excellent."

"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."

"This is the BEST facility!! The staff took the best care of my grandfather and their attentiveness towards their residents never went unnoticed! I would recommend this facility to anyone as they treat each resident as if they were their own family! The rooms were great and the food was even better. Anyone would be fortunate to get to stay here!"

"My grandmother has been a resident here for almost 3 years. We are happy with the care that she has received. The staff is always attentive to my grandmother. The facility is well maintained and kept clean. I don't have to worry about my grandmother like I have at other facilities. "

"There are no words to express my appreciation for The Bridge. My mom was there for 8 months and the entire staff felt like family. They all went over and above to care for my mom. They showed sincere care and love for her. They also were so supportive of me when I was concerned about her. I will forever be grateful for the time my mom had at The Bridge. I could not care for her at home anymore, and I could not have found a better alternative to home."

"There was nothing I disliked about Life Care Center of Charleston. It was fine. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. The rehab was good. They took care of my mother. She went basically from rehab to long-term hospice. She only stayed there a week and everything was exactly what it was supposed to be. They were very attentive. They did what they were supposed to do. She was in a double occupancy when she was in rehab and her roommate seemed to be eating her food, and my mom would eat hers when she was hungry, but a lot of times, she wasn't because she was going through the process. They offered rehab equipment. It looks like they have buses to take people out if they want to go out to shop and stuff like that or do some sort of activities. They had an area where they did rehab, but I didn't see anything else. You get what you pay for. Compared to the going rate in the area, it's about the average for the going rate for long-term care. It was good. It was very convenient. A hospital was a block away, so if there was any emergency that needed to be taken care of, they were there in no time. The location was great. There are restaurants and stuff around there."

"My mother has moved into The Blake at Carnes Crossroads. We're very happy with it. She's only been there one day. They're all very good. The rooms are decent-sized, and they're clean. The whole place is clean. They had a good variety of food. They seem to get involved with all the people there. All assisted living is pretty expensive."

"I am a resident of The Village at Summerville. I'm very delighted with everything here. The staff is so caring and kind. Everything's just wonderful. The people here are very kind. Some of the residents who have been here for 11 years still say they love it there. So, I think that's a good thing. They changed their chef a few months ago. There have been a few items on their menu. I saw plates go back with the whole meal on it, but for the norm, I see people eating every last thing on their plates. They have different levels of rooms for assisted living. They do have an indoor pool, and my room is about the size of a big hospital room. It's one room with a narrow bathroom and closet, and that's fine. They have bunco. They have a chapel. They had a concert in the chapel the other day. There were selections from classical music to contemporary things, and finally, a Frank Sinatra section where we sang along. They have a very good-sized library with current books and large print and other not as-current books like biographies and non-fiction. The living area has a grand piano in it, and they have people who come and play music once a week or whatever the schedule is. Then several days a week, a woman comes and plays spiritual hymns at 2:00. They list a calendar, and they have so many things on it to do."

"My mom moved into The Retreat at Summerville a couple of weeks ago. The facility is well-kept. Everybody there is wonderful from the office staff to the nursing sector. We like it a lot and they take good care of her. They keep me informed. They keep me updated weekly on her progress. When I'm not there, they check in to let me know how she's doing. All around, I like them. Her room is very clean. The dining area is beautiful. She's on the memory care side, so they bring in their food on the memory care side. Their activity director is wonderful."

"Mom has been a resident of this community for awhile now. I just want to say Ashley Landing is great. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent and there is always something going on for the residents to do. What I have noticed most is that it feels like a big family. Based on the price and what I am hearing people pay at other places, this is the only assisted living I would consider. They are very honest and don't trick you by bringing you in on a deal and then increasing your fees. They tell you up front and, from my experience, they stick with it. I am very pleased."
