"If you’re searching for a 55 plus, all inclusive, senior living facility, where the residents and staff are like one big, happy family, then Daniel Pointe is a must-see.
My husband and I decided to move from Maryland to South Carolina to live closer to family. We had been living in a senior living facility in Baltimore and wanted to find a similar, all inclusive, rental community near Charleston.
My 95 year old mother was moving with us, so we needed to find a community that we all agreed upon.
We looked at several Senior Living facilities before deciding on Daniel Pointe.
We were first impressed by the location of Daniel Pointe.
Exiting the busy highway onto Daniel Island was like driving into paradise! The beautiful tree lined roads, walking trails and abundant flowers immediately caught our attention.
The entrance to Daniel Pointe was gorgeous, with a stone waterfall, emptying into a koi pond. The facility appeared clean, well maintained and nicely decorated.
We were immediately welcomed by the concierge, who introduced us to Amy, the Senior Living Consultant.
Amy invited us to the Dining Room, where we enjoyed a delicious meal, while she provided us with information and answered all our questions
Following lunch, we toured the community.
The main floor is the primary location for most activities, including card games such as Bridge, Canasta, Rummikub, Bingo, etc. There is a large fitness center, game rooms, pharmacy, and a hair salon. There is a large theater where they offer musical entertainment, lectures, movies and non-denominational church services. Adjacent to the Dining Room, is a lounge that offers 24/7 self-serve coffee, hot chocolate, juice, and soft serve ice cream. The Lounge is also the site of Happy Hours, Trivia, games and other social activities. During our visit, the Activities Director was busy with a “meet and greet” social for new and current residents. We spoke with several residents, who all had positive words to say about Daniel Pointe.
We toured the second and third floors, where we visited a lending library, art room, billiards room and a chapel.
We then proceeded to the apartments. The apartments were spacious, well designed, and equipped with full kitchens, ample cabinet and drawer space, ceiling fans, and full-sized washer and dryers. One of the residents graciously invited us into her apartment, where we were able to visualize our furniture placement.
We have now lived at Daniel Pointe for two years.
I can’t say enough nice things about this community. The staff goes above and beyond to make the residents feel loved, safe, comfortable and at home. They show genuine concern for the residents and for each other. The staff is always friendly and it is obvious that they enjoy working here. When there is a problem, the staff works to correct it immediately. The managers, Gloria and Bob, live in the building and are always available. The facility is managed very well and it shows.
Daniel Pointe is the next best thing to living with family!"
