Communities in Taylors, SC

"We toured Waterstone on Augusta. What I liked about it was, number one, it was a newer facility. Number two, the care that we saw exhibited there seemed excellent. The people there were very accommodating. The facility itself was excellent, very clean and sanitary. There were lots of activities for the senior adults to get involved in, and the people there were just extraordinary."

"The tour at Harmony at Five Forks was good. The facility's layout is very good and very clean. The staff was very good, the dining area looked nice, and I noticed their amenities. One thing I don't like about it is that it has an oversized kitchen in every room, and the kitchen is not needed. It takes up the biggest part of the room, you have like 20 kitchen cabinets, and you don't need a single one. The bedrooms cannot hold two beds, even two twin beds, so the room layout is not good. The units are not laid out right. Who needs a huge kitchen when no one's cooking. I only saw two staff members, and they looked competent."

"Brookstone Terrace of Simpsonville was very clean. The tour guide was very good in explaining things. The only thing I was uncomfortable with is that the memory care resident is mixed in with the regular population resident, but it is a smaller facility, so they are able to handle that well. It had a physical therapy and occupational therapy room available, and an outdoor area."

"The rooms are roomy and the families are aloud to decorate and bring things from the residences home. A little advice a single serve coffee make would be the best for fire safety reasons. Also make sure you have prescriptions for over the counter items like lotions, pain rubs, vitamins, hair pump hair spray, powders, vicks, and vaseline. Basically items that your love one can use on their on. The staff is pleasant and are willing to hear any compliance or suggestions. The residents enjoy BINGO and van outings the cooking classes are always a treat for them because eating the food is always involved. There are activates going on all day, its like being on a all inclusive vacation. In side it looks like a 5 star hotel. For the dog loves they are welcome. For Dr. visits they have a few days a week where they provide transportation. My sisters and I enjoyed the meals when we eat there. "

"My father is in Quillen Manor. Their price range was what I wanted, but the communication about medication is a little bit of a problem. The food looks fairly good. He's always playing bingo there, and they have an entertainment room with a large TV. It's very clean, and the outside is very nicely kept. It's a very nice place."

"It was absolutely beautiful. Everybody that I met was just wonderful. I loved it. They were just nice. The people seemed very happy and everything just great to me. The rooms were good sized. It felt like I was at home. It felt open and fun. I was so impressed. They have a game area and a place to have little get-togethers and little parties and things like that."

"So far The Willows have been awesome. Coming from another facility that was filthy and rude The Willows is a breath of fresh air! Very clean, good food, happy residents and super sweet responsive staff! I am so glad we found them!! Could not say enough good things about them!"

"I decided to go with Rosecrest Retirement Community for my husband. The community looked wonderful. Everything looked clean and inviting. The staff who assisted me was very pleasant and nice. The rooms were nice and clean."

"Brookstone Terrace of Woodruff looked nice. It's smaller, so more for my husband to be looked after. They were all very, very friendly. They have activities for the residents. They have home-cooked meals. You can get a furnished room if you want. The room is roomy and nice. It was an older building, but it was clean and didn't smell. The dining area was nice and roomy for people to get in there. When I went there, an employee was mopping and had it all cleaned up."

"My sister is very happy here. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities to keep you entertained such as church services, singing, bingo and other games. Met someone who has been there for 5 years, and he said he loved it. My sister has only been there for 2 weeks but feels very comfortable that all her needs are being met. Food is very good and you are provided 3 hot meals a day."

"I visited LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods. They did a good job showing me around. I was impressed with the units that they showed me. It was a model unit that had furniture in it, but you bring your own furniture. We went to the dining room and they were having some social thing going on separate from the assisted living. You can go down for your meals in that dining room twice a day. The room was a little bigger than I anticipated and a little bit nicer. It was a two-bedroom unit and the kitchen was nicely equipped and had a lot of good natural light. It was very pleasant."

"The staff here are awesome, caring and so good to their residents and their families. They keep you up to date on what’s going on with your loved one and it makes you smile when you see there went on FB. I’m so happy these people are caring for my dad❤️❤️❤️Thank you to all of you for all you do."

"I recently moved my Mom to Inverness. And even though she is farther away from me, I am no longer anxious for her care or her safety. The staff is like family to each other, to the residents in their care here, and to the family and friends of the residents. It is the place that if you needed for a loved one but were concerned that they may not get that "assisted living" environment, then it is the right choice. I would want to live here when the time comes. It is that much and more for the person living there and for the family members also. My brother and I feel that Mom is now in a happy, healthy, and caring place. Mom deserves the best and for what is offered and for the financial fairness that is Inverness of Spartanburg, we feel truly blessed. Thank you so much Staff and Residents for MAKING IT HAPPEN EVERY DAY."

"My mother was in assisted living at the Carriage House of Taylors. If someone can take care of themselves most of the time, then this is a good place to go. Other than that, they don't have a good level of care for the mentally disabled. I liked the place, and it was clean; you didn't walk in and smell anything foul. If they go outside, they can just walk away because there's no lock."
