The Best Assisted Living Communities in Horry County, SC

"The staff was excellent. They were very cordial and accommodating. They showed us the rooms and they told us about their programs."

"I toured the Inlet Coastal Resort. I like the size of the facility. It was small. The assisted living population was approximately 35 residents, which I appreciated versus a much larger population. There was one level, which also was nice in a circular fashion, which I thought was helpful in terms of navigating where things are. It appeared clean. I had one person who took me around. She was very knowledgeable, and helpful, and answered all my questions. There's a variety of rooms. Some were big, some medium, and some small. I saw about 3 or 4 different rooms, and they're all different sizes."

"Mom was well cared for here. All the employees are friendly and helpful. Mom was well fed and cared for at all times during her time there. The entire facility is well kept, very clean and beautiful. Thank you so much."

"We went to look at Tabor Commons. We were impressed because everybody there knew the people there personally. They call them by name. They were very attentive. The facility was very clean and smelled okay. They had like a social place and an outdoor place. It felt homier."

"Reflections Assisted Living is not a new facility. I think it's been there for 20 years or so, but it is well-kept. It's an easy location to get to for visitors. We went in last weekend completely unannounced, and it looked spotless (for a weekend). I can't say anything but good things about the upkeep there. We have not been back to visit my sister-in-law, because we wanted to get her settled in first, but as far as I can tell, she's settled in very well. We were most pleased by the fact that the manager was able to work with the hospital that she was leaving by looking at her documents over the weekend so we were able to get her out of the hospital and into the facility within three days. That was one of the most important things to us, was getting there quickly. Now that she is there, we're very pleased with the place. Jordan and the head nurse have been very helpful to keep me updated about what was going on. The facility could have been a little more modern, but the truth is, even if the brick is not the shiny stuff that some of them are made of and it's not stories, it looks more like a home with a big door right in front. For people that age, I think they might like the fact that they don't have to go up elevators. It has a homey feeling inside."

"I VISITED THE FACILITY AND THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH THE PEOPLE STAYING THERE AND SHOWED THEM THE REPECT NO MATTER HOW THEY ACTED ALSO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS. VERY CLEAN FACILITY."

"Watercrest Myrtle Beach was stunning. It smelled good, and it was just gorgeous. They had a very attentive staff. They had a diverse food selection for different residents who may have different food needs. The style was more like a luxury hotel than an assisted living facility. It was very homey, very comfortable, and very welcoming. Everyone there was very engaged. Their chef made a dozen of freshly baked cookies for my parents that morning - 6 oatmeal cookies and 6 chocolate chip cookies as a welcome gesture. It was above and beyond, and they had them sent to my parents in the hospital. Where most assisted living facilities have a little eating area, theirs looked more like a restaurant. They didn't have specific hours where the residents could eat. Somebody would come take your order, and they would make you whatever you want."

"I talked with people from other assisted living facilities and no one was able or willing to do what Magnolias did. Magnolias accepted my father as a resident at a reduced monthly rate and they're helping him to obtain his VA benefits. When my father's VA benefits begin Magnolias will be reimbursed retroactive. Magnolias of Myrtle Beach is a nice facility with decent caring people. I've been there many times to visit and I talk with the residents and they like being there.Visit and see for yourself. "

"I placed my mom in this facility during COVID based on the personal experience of a friend who had a family member living there. My mom lived there almost 4 years and I had to move her out to conserve her funds. She wasn't happy about that, but I did what we had to do. To sum up my experience, she loved it there and I moved her back one year later into the skilled nursing side due to her onset of Cancer. She lost her battle and finished her days in the very place it all began when I moved her here in 2020 from NYS. I can't say enough about the nursing care she was given. The facility is very welcoming and caring and my mom loved some of the caregivers that she remembered from day one. That meant a lot that she felt at "home" there. I drive by the Manor from time to time and want to stop in.....but can't. I will never forget this past almost 5 years. My last comment is this.....when it came time to have her placed in a SNF during her Cancer treatments, MBM was the ONLY facility that didn't treat us like an Investment! It does get difficult sometimes when family has the responsibility to take care of their parents. She ended up where she began and it was meant to be. I couldn't be more thankful."

"This rehab facility is definitely run with efficiency and do everything they can to make you feel better. The nurses, CNAs, and nurse practitioners have been nothing but wonderful to my mom!! And the people who clean are excellent!!! My mom has been in other facilities and none of them come close to this one!"

"The Palmettos of Garden City is wonderful. It's brand new, very clean, open, and airy. They have a lot of common areas to sit and socialize. Their staff is wonderful, I met their medical and nursing directors and activities director and they're all very caring and enthusiastic. It's conveniently located and the grounds are very nice, it's tucked away in a lot of trees. My father's room is a studio, it's a little smaller and pricier than some of the other places, but it's manageable. It has a large bathroom, with cable, Wi-Fi, and a telephone provided for free. All utilities are covered. In addition to three meals, they have unlimited snacks throughout the day. There's also a little bistro area where you can socialize and they have a happy hour every day."

"Garden Manor had small apartments. There was a library and a small place in the back where you could plant flowers. They served one nice big meal a day. If you wanted something for later in the evening, you could get a box of food to take with you. They would come and clean once a week. They went on trips for shopping in a van. It was just what I needed. The people were very nice, very friendly, and outgoing. "

"We are choosing Inlet Oaks Assisted Living & Memory Care for my sister. The place was clean. The staff was very nice, caring, and very professional. The apartments were spacious and clean, and the residents were very nice. The price was also convenient. We toured the place twice, and each time we went there they had some kind of gathering for the residents and family members. One was Veterans Day, and then the other one was just a meet and greet with the families."

"My friend moved into St Gabriel of Murrells Inlet. It was convenient, and they were willing to take my friend because she's a memory care patient. It was in close proximity to where her family could reach her. The care from the nurses is outstanding. They were very attentive, very caring, and patient. When I was there, they did dine out and gave the residents pizza. They have workstations and games, and they take them on outings."
