Independent Living Communities in Easley, SC

"We toured Belvedere Commons of Seneca. It was very clean, and it looked like they were very organized. I felt like it was a good place. The rooms were about the same as all the others, but they were adequate. Everything was up to what it should be. I've not tried their food, but the dining area was adequate. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. They're all very helpful. If there are any negatives, I would say that they charge for cable, whereas all the others don't. They also charge for different levels of care."

"My father has moved into The Residences at Park Place. It was a good location. Our family is close. The staff helped us organize and plan the move. It's very clean. It doesn't look like a hospital. It looks very homey and the staff was very friendly. The food was wonderful. He's enjoying the meals. Even on the day we moved in, our family was able to sit down and have a meal together, just as kind of a little welcome. They have pet therapy. They had a dog come in the other day that the residents can visit with and pet. They have a lot of game nights, bingo, cards and puzzles, and a lot of exercise opportunities where they'll have an exercise class or just some one-on-one chances to get some physical activity."

"I toured Serenity at Easley. They were very friendly and very willing to help. They gave us a good tour of the building. Some of the clients were very friendly. They came to greet us and asked us if we were going to be there. It was a very pleasant experience. The kitchen in the room was very small, and that's one thing that turned me off because I love to cook. The place was very neat and clean though. They showed us where the dining area was, and that was very neat and tidy."

"I toured Foothills Retirement Community. They're a very nice place, at the top of the line, with many activities. It's more like a hotel. They're very nice. I only dealt with one person. He was very nice, very helpful, and toured the whole area. He just answered all my questions. They have apartments and they have one-bedroom facilities. They have a lot, depending on how much you want to pay, and what your needs are. If you need more care, they probably have you in a one bedroom with a bath included. They have everything like game rooms and an outside courtyard area with a fireplace. It's very nice."

"All of the people at The Woodlands at Furman were friendly. They were all very outgoing, informative, and inquisitive about what kind of activities and things the residents are interested in. It's a gorgeous place. The food was great. Everything was beautiful and there were tons of activities, but it was just too big. On our tour, it was about close to a mile of walking back and forth from the rooms to the pool and beauty salon. So, anybody with a walker is going to be tired by the time they get to wherever they're going."

"I moved into Merrill Gardens at Greenville. I visited about six or seven places, and I found this the best place for me. I liked the staff, the facility, the restaurant, the gym, the swimming pool outside, and my studio apartment. I have no complaints. The food is good, but not great. The restaurant is great. There are plenty of activities inside and excursions outside, and plenty of choices for how to spend your time. Everybody's taken good care of. They check in on people in the morning if they want to be checked in on. It is a very comfortable community. The residents are pretty friendly for the most part. It a very easy place to be."

"Clemson Heritage Senior Living was wonderful. I loved it, but it was just so expensive. It was clean. It had everything we were looking for, but we didn't qualify for the price. It is a private facility, there's no chance of having any kind of assistance through Medicaid or anything. It was laid out pretty well. We didn't get to see any of the apartments because they were all full, but the staff did show us inside the facility that had assisted living and independent living. It was easy to get around. It wasn't cluttered. The staff was very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very personable. They seemed to care a lot about the people that were there."

"I am thankful for my home in The Cascades. My needs & concerns are always met efficiently and with care. I recently lost the use of my air conditioning unit and my washer. Maintenance replied quickly. Both problems were evaluated and found needing to be replaced. I now have a new washer and dryer and air conditioning unit. My apartment is now always comfortable, and my clothes are clean. I am very grateful to the maintenance workers who put my needs into action. Special thanks to Belez, Cristian and Brian."

"I think the staff at Clemson Downs is very attentive. The facility is very clean and just very bright. The rooms are nice. They have a lovely porch that overlooks the woods from the back with flowers and bird feeders. The care that my family member is getting has been excellent. Even though it's memory care, they take the residents for activities in different locations within Clemson Downs. So, they're not stuck in their room. They also take them off the facility, like for ice cream or dinner or things like that. You don't get too much activity in other memory care facilities. My family member is high-functioning, so it's good for him. He gets three choices for each of his meals and he gets to choose fruits or juice. The facility looks pretty new. It's expensive, but if you can afford it, this is the place to go. It is the nicest of the memory care facilities by a long shot. It's well worth it. I have no hesitation when I walk away from there feeling that he is cared for, that things are clean, that he's being well-fed, and that the staff is very alert and considerate. They are very professional and it's a beautiful facility."

"Overture Greenville 55+ Apartment Homes was an excellent community. The place was immaculate. I liked it. It's just that I couldn't afford the rent. The people were friendly. They seemed to try and provide social activities for the community, which was very nice. It's a very social place. The apartments were clean and up to date."

"This Place is amazing, The Staff is top notch! I love my family member being here. I can go home and not worry."

"I'm considering Rolling Green Village for myself. I've had many friends who've lived there. The best thing about them is the friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive. I have eaten onsite there before and I know the food is good. The place seems very inviting and clean. Clearly the staff is attentive to any cleaning that needs to be done. In my friend's room sometimes it becomes cluttered, but never dirty. My friend has so many things that she does. She has friends come to visit her and they're able to go to the dining room or to different areas and to visit or eat or play games. And she does get therapy there onsite. They have every sort of facility that you would need right there onsite. They have an excellent layout for the rooms. The size of the room is a good fit for someone with my friend's disabilities. It's very appropriate."

"My mother is a resident of The Springs at Simpsonville. I like the fact that they've got a friendly staff. They are very accommodating, and they offer the services that my mother needs. She has a studio with a private bath. Her room is single, so she doesn't have anybody else in there. It's large enough to accommodate her bed and to also form a sitting area. They typically have an activity in the morning. Like this morning, they were going offsite to a religious service. We ate there as a family when mother checked in, and the food was really quite good. They have a marvelous activities director."

"It looked like quite a resort, and that's good. I thought the rooms looked fine. The place was clean. They had a pool and quite a few things. This was the biggest of all the places that we visited. The staff who assisted us with the tour was very nice."
