Assisted Living Communities in Port Royal, SC

"We toured The Addison of Bluffton. The facility is very nice. Everything is clean. It's a beautiful facility, and lots of rooms are light-filled. Their admissions person was very communicative at all levels and answered my questions. We walked around there. I was impressed that they put call buttons about 15 inches off the floor in the residence rooms. So, if someone was on the floor, they could easily reach it, and from right there, where they were on the floor. I was impressed by the very good staff-to-resident ratio in the facility. I was impressed with the numbers that they had for that metric. It was a very impressive facility. I would move some money into that any minute. Brian was very forthcoming, knowledgeable, and willing to help and answer anything I had to ask."

"My mom stayed in memory care at The Palmettos of Bluffton and it was outstanding. It's a brand new facility and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to do whatever they could to make the residents feel welcomed and comfortable. They had a lot of activities and amenities. They would run old movies, do singalongs, a lot of entertainers come in to perform, play memory games like card games, do crafts and baking projects."

"Mom is at Sprenger Health Care Port Royal, and I would give them an excellent rating because they are. It's beautiful. It's a one-story building and Mom is in the assisted living side. The staff is wonderful. They all love her. She really enjoys the food and they give them a choice. They play LCR, a dice game, do exercises, attend cooking classes, and go on outings every once in a while."

"My mother is in memory care at The Pearl at Port Royal. They're very welcoming and very easy to work with. She's been there just a little over a week and she usually is hard to get along with, but she says everybody there is so nice, so pleasant, and pays real close attention to her that she's quite comfortable at. The layout is pretty simple. The Pearl is now all memory care and it's all on one floor. It has kind of a centralized location of the dining room, but they have a lot of other things. They have a nice sunroom and a theater-like room where they can watch movies. It's real simple but very nice and pretty easy for somebody with tough times with memory to find their way around. She said the food was great, and she could get anything she wanted. Compared to the ones I looked at, I thought it was the best value I could find."

"The Retreat at Lady's Island was a fairly new facility. It was a three-story facility. Each level had a lobby area for the residents, but the residents would have to go downstairs to eat. Their staff-to-resident ratio was pretty good. Besides it being large, nothing remarkable stood out to me. They had different levels of rooms from studios to 2-bedroom apartments. They were clean, well-equipped, and ADA- accessible. One nice thing was they have water views from the Marsh. This facility had a pretty good overall atmosphere. It was engaging. Activities were going on with the residents and the staff. The person who provided me with the tour was good and engaging. It was all-inclusive care. They had an in-house pharmacy, an in-house physical therapy, and a third-party connection with a doctor. "

"I toured The Bayshore on Hilton Head Island. The nicest thing was that the building is gorgeous, the food is very good, and they have a chef on staff. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable about the property. It's a great location, right on the water, and the building is practically new, so everything's very well taken care of. The layout is very convenient and very efficient."

"The staff are excellent, caring and informative. Anything my dad needed was given at a timely matter. The PT, Speech and OT are Great. Overall the facility took great care of my dad and now he's home and continuing outpatient therapy. Thank you LifeCare"

"The staff was very professional, took a lot of time to talk to me and took me on a tour. They had meeting rooms, activity rooms, music, piano, get-togethers, live entertainment, game room, and a place for happy hour. The memory care facilities got their own wing there. It was clean, but a little bit of an older facility."

"My cousin moved into The Pines at Bluffton Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's a small studio, but it's got a patio, and it seems to be working out fine. I have tried their food, it's very good. The facility is lovely, it looks clean, and it's fresh without having a bleached smell. It's really nice."

"I went to Sprenger Health Care Bluffton. The tour was very good. Cynthia did a good job with the tour. She's very knowledgeable and helpful. I was not impressed with their staff-to-resident ratio in the assisted living part. I thought their staff-to-resident ratio number was not where it should be. The rooms seemed fine. Everything looked clean. They're a very usable, livable type of space. There's a small refrigerator, like a little freezer, a little microwave, and a little counter where they could fix a cup of coffee, and that seemed to be pretty standard across the facilities."
