Assisted Living Communities in Greer, SC

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We toured Rosecrest Retirement Community. We really can't afford that one. It's a very nice facility, but it's very expensive. The staff we talked to were very nice and seemed very helpful, but I didn't have much to do with them. The facility looked very nice and very clean. The atmosphere was very nice. Everything was good."

"I liked everything about Oakview Park. I didn't have anything negative to say. It was very clean. The members there were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. They had very spacious rooms, and I liked the vicinity to the common area. They're easy access, and they have well-laid-out living spaces."

"My mom has been at Wesley Court for 2 years now. She has made some great friends. The staff is awesome. My mom has a private room and it looks like an efficiency apartment. I have never had any problems with anything there. The staff always communicates with me regarding my mom. She loves it there and says the food is great. They take them to a lot of places, not just shopping, riding the bus when leaves change, parades. They hold Church services on Sunday mornings. Very popular. Can't say enough great things about this place."

"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."

"I'm considering Viva Senior Living at Easley for my sister if everything goes well. Everybody I've talked to seemed real nice and helpful in explaining things. I've had family members there before and everything was OK."

"I liked TerraBella Spartanburg except that they were too far from me. It was nice. They have movies, different classes, a reading room, a library, and private units. They had one lady in there that was reading books and two people that were blind that had Braille cards with them so they could get into card games. There were also a couple of other activities that blind residents could participate in. They had a garden area with chairs out there and a front patio. It was nice and clean. There were always people sweeping and mopping. It was well-kept."

"I toured The Willows of Easley. My sister-in-law was going to reside there, but when they interviewed her and showed her the place, she was just too weak. They said they won't be able to take care of her. The employees were nice. I didn't taste the food, but I did see the menu. It looked delicious. Everything looked great. It's not an apartment. It's just one bedroom with one bath included. They were doing games and puzzles and things like that. They had a large area where people could gather and watch movies and stuff like that. They were very accommodating and very helpful."

"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."

"Bayberry Retirement Inn was a nice place. It had big rooms. It was clean and neat. It did not have an odor. "

"My mother is very happy at TerraBell Thornblade's assisted living. Their professional staff, the caregivers, are not only well educated as far as their training, but they also knew their jobs, and they genuinely seem to care. They're very kind to the residents and act more like relatives than they act like employees. We're very happy with the way that they treat my mother. I've also seen the way they treat other people, and it's the same. They've got a good bunch of people working there. My mother is 99 years old, and she eats every day, so that's pretty good. I think she never refuses their meals. Their grounds are well-kept, and the inside of their building is light and airy. It is very well-maintained as far as cleanliness goes. I've never seen anything that I would disapprove of. Everything seems to be well maintained and taken care of. They post an activities calendar, and there are events for the residents every day."
