The Best Independent Living Communities in Chatham County, GA

"Vineyard Bluffton is at the top of my list right now. It's a 5 all the way around. We met some of the residents there. The food appeared to be excellent, well prepared, and I would certainly eat there if I had to any time. We viewed several apartments, and they're excellent. They're exactly what we would be looking for to settle on. They had everything from pickleball to arts and crafts and physical therapy. I can't even name them all. They're well rounded and something that seniors would appreciate. We went to three courtyards. They're very open. There's a lot of greenery with little lagoons and little pools. It was just very impressive."

"Okatie Pines Retirement Community seemed to be wonderful. You get three meals a day. You don't pay for anything, except for a monthly bill. The staff could not have been any nicer. Everybody I met was so lovely. The young lady, Nikki, takes people around to see the apartments. They were all occupied. She asked one of the residents that had a 2-bedroom apartment, if it would be alright for me to go in and see how it was set up. They were a lovely couple. They loved it. It had a lovely area in the back. It had grass and trees out there. The front faced out towards the major road (not that you see the major road). It was so well cared for. It was immaculate, and the rooms were beautiful. They had two hairdressers. There was a place where a priest gives mass to anybody that wants to go. There was a nurse. They had wine nights and a gym. The dining room was unbelievably beautiful and well cared for. You can have food brought up to your apartment, instead of going downstairs. Everything was there that I could possibly want or need. It was really top class."

"My Father received wonderful care at Broad Creek Care Center on Hilton Head Island. The staff was very attentive, knowledgable , and caring. He was well prepared for returning home to independent living. "

"Employees there are attentive to the needs of the residents and are willing to go the extra distance to ensure they get what they need."

"One of my favorite things about the Marshes is an excellent book club. I am an omniverous reader and the books we choose are challenging and lead to wonderful discussions. Besides that it is great fun. I have made many new friends through book club."

"We have three golf courses at Sun City Hilton Head, tennis, our own library, and a hall that shows movies. It's quite a nice place. We have our own houses that are pretty well built for retirees because it's a 55+ community. It's laid out very well and runs like a small city. "

"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."

"Bloom at Belfair was a very nice place. It was very clean, and the people seemed to be enjoying themselves. There were few folks around. I think at this point, the functioning level of the people there are a little bit below where my wife is. At some point that may not be the case, but at this point, she is not functioning in that same way. She would stick out as somebody different from what appeared to be the general population there. We went and saw a couple of rooms, and they were very well taken care of. They were just fine. Also the common areas appeared to be very well-maintained. They were bright, cheerful, and there was lots of light, so it was a good thing from that standpoint. I think we would feel very comfortable in having my wife be there if she needed that kind of support at this point, but she doesn't. The staff was great. There was one girl who gave us a tour, and then there was another gentleman who stopped and talked to us. It felt more like an institution."

"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."
