Assisted Living Communities in Myrtle Beach, SC

"My mom is here, and they're OK. The women who help my mom are phenomenal, and I thank them all the time. It's not a bad facility, the rooms are clean, organized, and not too small. It's good for one person. They have a lot of activities for those who can participate. It's a good community. The staff members are involved for the most part and from what I can see."

"We have been disappointed with the constant change over of staff and management. It causes confusion for the client and families when trying to have certain needs met. Also my mother has had several men wander from the “locked” memory care on the other side of the building.and come into her room.,She was recently awakened during the night to find the dementia patient standing at the foot of her bed. He had moved her walker and safety pendant beyond her reach. Fortunately She was able to get to it to call for help."

"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."

"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."

"My mom has been in Magnolias of Myrtle Beach for three months now. It was recommended to us by her physician. We shopped all around in the area and kind of decided on another one, but when we went to her doctor to get the TB test that was necessary before you go in a facility, her doctor said, "Don't decide on anything until you go see this one (Magnolias of Myrtle Beach)." So we went and had lunch there and talked to the director, it was so good that my mom wanted to move in the next day. We love the staff, the administrator, and everybody there. It is really great! We also love the location, the facilities, etc. We just love everything about it. It is just that good. I would recommend it to others, in fact, I already had. I'm really pleased with this facility. "

"Our visit turned out very good. It was a beautiful facility. It's well-manicured. It's very very nice. We happened to go at a time where all the residents were in one area doing some kind of an activity. They looked happy and cheerful especially the women that we had spoken to. Some of them were very personable and had to come over and see what we're doing. Their hair was just so nice. They were dressed nice. It definitely made an impression. The staff was accommodating and very welcoming. We were very well received. I like how they had the place decorated. It was a very well lit area. There was plenty of room, nothing to get in the way of the residents moving around. That day we visited they were making cookies and they had asked us if we wanted to taste it but we did not, but it smelled very, very good. "

"The help at Reflections seemed very good. They're very efficient help. They have some activities. I saw one room, and it seemed spacious enough. Reflections was a brand new building; however, they should paint their walls a lighter color. I think it made the place looked a little dark. "

"My loved one is moving into the assisted living at Myrtle Beach Manor. The staff who gave the tour was very polite and answered all our questions. Everything was in place. It was very neat and clean. Everything seemed to be in order. We looked at three other communities last week and we chose the Myrtle Beach Manor simply because we are going to save $500 a month with them."

"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. "

"I visited Hope Arbor of Murrells Inlet. The location is good and the place is clean. The grounds are really nice and they have transportation for the residents. The staff was very polite and professional. The only problem is that highway 707 is undergoing a two-year planned road widening project. The noise and traffic will be awful."

"My mom will move into Legacy Village of Murrells Inlet. We chose them because we toured several, maybe five or six different places up there, and that one had a lot of staff. There are several different floor plans. We didn't choose the bottom of the line. We didn't choose the top of the line. We chose in the middle. We chose the plus one. It's going to work nicely. She's getting a double bed. She'll have a recliner. She has a dresser in her room. It's got a counter, sink, cabinet, and a place to put a coffee maker, and a small-sized refrigerator. There is an enormous closet. So, she has more closet space than she could ever use. There are lots of walls to hang pictures on. The bathroom is a great size. Plus, the bathroom that she has allows us the opportunity to put a large piece of furniture in the bathroom to use for storage for sheets or whatever other things that she needs. So, you can take a wardrobe and a dresser with you and utilize both of them at this facility. We're also going to get her a small table and two chairs. They've just gone under a remodel because they used to be the guardian, and two gentlemen are the new owners. They redid everything. Everything is new. Everything's up to date. From what I can see, it looks extremely clean. All the fixtures were up to date, as well as all the decorations and the home decor. It wasn't something that was maybe 10 or 20 years old. Everything was brand new. Everyone has been fantastic. They have one maintenance man, and as things were being delivered before she was even there, he started to put things together for her. They set up the TV. They put new bars in the shower. Dave is the maintenance man. He'll come and do everything for you."

"The last facility that I visited was here and this facility was very appealing and clean. The building was beautiful. The staff was very helpful and very patient. I think the residents there were happy and contented."

"My sister is at River Park Senior Living. I found the facility attractive. The staff members were very helpful, accommodating, and friendly. Besides meals, they have an exercise program. They bring people in for entertainment. They got my sister a cake, and they had a little birthday party for her. They have a beautiful screened-in porch that they can sit on and enjoy the weather and flowers. The dining area looked like a little restaurant with tables. They have a menu posted every day, so they know what breakfast, lunch, and dinner are. From what I have observed, the meals look pretty good. It was not cheap."
