Assisted Living Communities in Port Royal, SC

"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."

"We chose Sprenger Health Care Port Royal for my mother. She moved in last Saturday. I'm an RN and in my line of work, I had heard good things about their assisted living side, but the main thing I think that led me to this facility is the safety. They have a lot of safety mechanisms in place, and I just really felt like my mother would be safe in case she started wandering or anything like that. It is a locked facility, and they have all safety measures. The staff that I had worked with on the phone and the staff that I met in person were just incredible. They were so, so helpful. I got a really good feeling about them. Since my mother has been admitted, I have nothing to say but wonderful about the facility and the staff. I can only speak for the assisted living side; they have been incredible. My mom's room has everything she could possibly need. She does not have a suite. They do have suites there but none were available. She has a little outdoor patio because she does love to sit outside. It is in a courtyard where other residents can visit with each other and all; that is nice. Her room has all the safety measures in it as well with the pull strings for help. They put safety pendants on the patients. My mother fell the other night and she pushed her little safety pendant and they came in right away. Her room has a little kitchenette and has everything she needs. It's a very comfortable space for her. The staff has been incredible. Truly, I did not expect all the attention that I have received. They update me daily. I just couldn't ask for more. The staff knew that my mom was not expecting this move because her dementia is at a level we couldn't tell her. They had the staff right there, standing in the background, when we entered this facility to make sure if we were having any trouble. The staff is wonderful. My mom has certainly enjoyed it. The facility is beautiful and clean. I think the facility is great from the area I've seen. I don't have a lot to say about their activities because I don't really know. Because of the COVID thing going on, they can't have their residents all together, but they brought bowling to my mother's hall so that each resident could come out and bowl in the hallway to give them something to do. From what they told me, it sounds like they have some good activities. The value for money is very reasonable in comparison to other places; I'm satisfied with that."

"Wonderful facility. Staff is the most caring and helpful I met. Toured several facilities in Beaufort area and liked this the best. It is not your "high class" with tennis and all the extras. Has a very homey and loving feeling. Like you are one of the family. There is a Doctor associated with facility so no need to have to go out to see them. Meals are good and several options offered at each one. Activities throughout the week, including monthly "celebration" of birthdays. Beautician comes to facility weekly. My dad, whom had Alzheimers, moved there from the local rehab facility. They do all they can if patient ends up in hospital to get them back to "normal" as soon as possible. Rooms are nice sized and can be decorated by patient. I believe there are 2 different options available. Nurse on duty and option of daily one on one time at an added cost. Very conveniently located in Beaufort area and reasonably priced. Two things that helped us make our final decision. We have a senior dog that my dad was very close with and as long as they had up to date vet records the dog was allowed to visit, which he loved and so did other patients. They are also associated with hospice so if it becomes necessary patient does not have to move to nursing home they can stay there and pass in what has become familiar surroundings. My dad did pass in this facility and everyone was wonderful with the whole situation. I would high recommend "

"My dad is going to move into The Retreat at Lady's Island, and we've chosen this place because of the perfect view of the Beaufort River and the boat dock. It's open, quiet, and airy. The staff was very friendly and informative. When I was there, they had a milk-and-honey hour, and then I saw a bunch of ladies downstairs enjoying themselves. They have a list of daily activities too."

"I toured. I would give it a 3 because there was a load of old people there, slumped in a chair with their heads down, and it made me feel very uncomfortable. The staff members were very friendly, but they also didn't have a gym accessible."

"Wonderful community that combines assisted living and independent living. Staff is caring and compassionate. Therapy and medical service personnel are terrific. Meets all our family’s needs!"

"My father was at Life Care Center of Hilton Head earlier this year for rehabilitation, and I can't say anything bad about them. They were very courteous, nice, and attentive. They took care of him while he was there. His room was clean and well kept. The dining area was very nice, and the food was good; he enjoyed it. He had a very nice room. The bed was kept clean, the linen and the floor were clean, it had nice ventilation, and the bathroom was clean. They had him in the dining room with others, and also with his physical therapy. Most of the time he didn't want to eat in the dining room, but they did little activities in the activity room. He was happy when he was in there. I didn't have to pay anything; Medicaid took care of that."

"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."

"I visited Riverside in the search for a facility for my Mom. I find it very very nice. The people there were very helpful and accommodating. It was a 3 or 4 star facility. It was beautiful. However my Mom decided not to go yet. We visited 2 places but when my mom is ready to move in, we will choose this facility for her. "

"It was beautiful. They just won a huge award. It was professionally decorated. The people were very nice, and when I called back, they were sold out. I used to do a lot of decorating, and the biggest thing I noticed is that it had been professionally decorated, very tasteful. "

"My husband has been at Sprenger Health Care Bluffton for 2 weeks now. It is a nice and clean place in a nice location. The health staff is a little stressed because there aren't enough of them, but the nurses are great. The coordinator is really good. The food isn't too bad. They're very diligent about the food. They're very interested in their residents' tolerability of certain foods and their diet in general. The doctors are good. If you have an issue, they will call the doctor, and the doctor always calls back. Overall, it's a good place. They're all private rooms, at least for the rehabilitation part. They have their own private bathroom. They have a refrigerator, and there's plenty of drawer space and closet space. They just had a trio recently playing music there. They do bingo, church services, watermelon socials, and ice pop socials. Everybody is welcome to participate, even the family members. They have common areas like a little chapel, a courtyard, and a beautiful dining area."
