Assisted Living Communities in Summerville, SC

"I toured Oaks at Charleston. It was great, and my overall experience was fine. The one-bedroom and two-bedroom were more of an apartment size, but they were sufficient for what I was looking for. The place was clean. They showed me the dining area, and it was fine. The staff was great and friendly."

"I toured Brookdale West Ashley. The staff was wonderful. I might have considered it if it had been located on this side of town. They showed me a studio. It was tiny, and it's not much more than what they cost. The sales manager, Melissa was nice, and I like the place."

"We chose Harmony at West Ashley. It had pretty much everything that we were looking for, from independent living to assisted living to memory care. It was a very nice facility. It had a lot of amenities. We got a two-bedroom apartment. The people I talked to when we were visiting all seemed to like it there. We found it a good place, and we have friends who live a mile and a half away from there. The staff was adequate. The rooms and dining area were very nice. I looked at the menus, and I thought the food selection looked pretty good. They have two libraries, a gym, a movie theater, a card room, a pub with an outside patio, outside grills if you want to grill things, and parking if you want to take your own car. The facility was very nice, clean, new, and modern."

"We toured The Oaks at Daniel Island and spoke with the director over there. We found out that the amount that it was going to cost to put my mother there was just going to be a little bit out of our budget. The actual facility was beautiful. However, I'm not confident at all that my mother would not get lost in there. It was huge, there were lots of halls, and there was not a lot of people walking around. It was stunning. There were a lot of amenities. The studio apartments were very nice. I had no problem with the actual facility at all. I would love to be able to put my mother there. If they say she's getting a little bit worse and needs a little bit more attention, then the price could go up significantly. Jerry was very nice, and knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. I met one resident and he allowed us to look into his apartment to see how it was set up, and he was very kind. There was no one in the dining area. There were a few people in the craft area, but we did not meet the residents there. That was another thing that kind of scared us, that my mother would be wandering around. and it was just a huge facility with big beautiful clean hallways. It was kind of empty. That thought made us think that it would scare my mother, that she would feel like she was in there by herself, without having a bunch of people around. It was a personal concern as far as my mother's mindset right now. It didn't have anything to do with the facility. The facility itself was beautiful. I wish it would have worked out for us."

"Dayspring provided excellent care for my cousin for the six months that she was there. I have had experiences with two different corporate-owned facilities. Although those facilities were "prettier" than Dayspring in Hollywood, there were problems with communication and staff turnover (including management). Conscientious owners on-site make a huge difference; my cousin received more individual attention and communication was seamless. The staff is friendly and helpful and the facility is always spotlessly clean. Highly recommended."

"My sister is in Cooper River Assisted Living. We looked at it and met with the director. It was clean. The director was very accommodating and informative. We looked at a room that was a corner room with two windows and a small refrigerator, and it had security, which we like because we fear that she would walk out. She seems to enjoy doing the activities there. They do her laundry and meals, and she's got a TV. She can bring in her own furniture. A big selling point for us was the fact that she wears a wristband, and she can't just walk out the front door. An alarm will go off. Also, we met some of the staff at the front desk, and it was like a nice open lobby. This was more conveniently located for us, too. Price-wise, it was more within her budget. They've been great, so the price is workable for now. She seems happy there. It is smaller than the other place that she was in."

"This is the BEST facility!! The staff took the best care of my grandfather and their attentiveness towards their residents never went unnoticed! I would recommend this facility to anyone as they treat each resident as if they were their own family! The rooms were great and the food was even better. Anyone would be fortunate to get to stay here!"

"I have been to Franke at Seaside. My friend is in the independent living side. It's absolutely perfect. It's beautiful. The grounds are well kept. Everything is very clean and very nice. It's like a resort almost. My friend has no complaints. She likes it quite well, but I didn't personally meet any of the staff members. They have beautiful dining areas and a chapel for church-type things. They have activity rooms where they could go in and do crafts or stuff like that. It was just very pleasant. The residents looked well dressed. I would say it's a very affluent community. I thought the activities were good. The food was excellent."

"I am a resident of The Village at Summerville. I'm very delighted with everything here. The staff is so caring and kind. Everything's just wonderful. The people here are very kind. Some of the residents who have been here for 11 years still say they love it there. So, I think that's a good thing. They changed their chef a few months ago. There have been a few items on their menu. I saw plates go back with the whole meal on it, but for the norm, I see people eating every last thing on their plates. They have different levels of rooms for assisted living. They do have an indoor pool, and my room is about the size of a big hospital room. It's one room with a narrow bathroom and closet, and that's fine. They have bunco. They have a chapel. They had a concert in the chapel the other day. There were selections from classical music to contemporary things, and finally, a Frank Sinatra section where we sang along. They have a very good-sized library with current books and large print and other not as-current books like biographies and non-fiction. The living area has a grand piano in it, and they have people who come and play music once a week or whatever the schedule is. Then several days a week, a woman comes and plays spiritual hymns at 2:00. They list a calendar, and they have so many things on it to do."

"My mom moved into The Retreat at Summerville a couple of weeks ago. The facility is well-kept. Everybody there is wonderful from the office staff to the nursing sector. We like it a lot and they take good care of her. They keep me informed. They keep me updated weekly on her progress. When I'm not there, they check in to let me know how she's doing. All around, I like them. Her room is very clean. The dining area is beautiful. She's on the memory care side, so they bring in their food on the memory care side. Their activity director is wonderful."

"My mother-in-law is in Oakbrook Health and Rehabilitation Center. I love it. The food is delicious. I always taste it to make sure. The people are great. It's always the same nursing staff, so you get to know everybody. It's very good. She's just been admitted to the rehab side, so she has kind of a double hospital room. I don't know anything about the other rooms. They have tons of activities. They have people come in and play the piano. They have a big calendar of events. They have people come in and do church, and they have ice cream socials. It's clean. It's just a little dated. They've been great getting her up and making her do therapy and stuff like that."

"My mother has moved into The Blake at Carnes Crossroads. We're very happy with it. She's only been there one day. They're all very good. The rooms are decent-sized, and they're clean. The whole place is clean. They had a good variety of food. They seem to get involved with all the people there. All assisted living is pretty expensive."

"There was nothing I disliked about Life Care Center of Charleston. It was fine. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. The rehab was good. They took care of my mother. She went basically from rehab to long-term hospice. She only stayed there a week and everything was exactly what it was supposed to be. They were very attentive. They did what they were supposed to do. She was in a double occupancy when she was in rehab and her roommate seemed to be eating her food, and my mom would eat hers when she was hungry, but a lot of times, she wasn't because she was going through the process. They offered rehab equipment. It looks like they have buses to take people out if they want to go out to shop and stuff like that or do some sort of activities. They had an area where they did rehab, but I didn't see anything else. You get what you pay for. Compared to the going rate in the area, it's about the average for the going rate for long-term care. It was good. It was very convenient. A hospital was a block away, so if there was any emergency that needed to be taken care of, they were there in no time. The location was great. There are restaurants and stuff around there."
