The Best Independent Living Communities in Georgetown County, SC

"We went to Arbor Landing at Surfside. Their price range was almost in my category. It's still a little bit high. Everything they showed us looked excellent. The staff showed me everything I needed to see. The building looks clean and well-maintained. The size of the studio was 16 by 12. I wasn't looking for a studio because I like a separate bedroom. The cedar living room was 12 by 18. The bedroom was 12 by 12, and the closet was 12 by 7. I love those large closets because there's so much stuff that you always have left over."

"I toured TerraBella Myrtle Beach for a loved one and it's a very nice facility. It's clean, well-lighted, and has caring people. It has nice grounds and nice rooms. They have an audiovisual room, and the little library they have is nice. The outside area for sitting was nice as well. The shuttle van was a big, big plus, too. Penny, the staff who toured me, was outstanding. The place is just outstanding."

"My husband is at Indigo at Carolina Forest. They are very attentive to him. He gets good care. It's a very nice place. They are very informative. I was able to tour and speak with them prior to him being admitted. They followed up and met all my needs to get him transferred. I didn't taste the food, but they have a buffet, and it looks great. It is very clean. The entire facility is very modern, nice, up-to-date, and equipped. They have a lot of activities available, but he is limited in what he can do right now. I would say the value for money is very reasonable for the services and the place. It's a nice place, and I think they're very fair on their prices."

"My mom has moved into the independent living of Portside at Grande Dunes. It's great because it has up-to-date decor. It's almost brand new, just 2 years old, and it's just beautiful. Her apartment is also beautiful, everything is updated, and it's just the right size for her. It's decently priced too. I ran into an issue with the billing department, which wasn't good, but everything else has been just wonderful and perfect. We went to an open house there before so I have tried the food, and it was great. As far as I know, there is always a lot of life going around there, a lot of movement, and that's always good at a place like that. I like that they have activities all the time. They gave my mom a little bit of a discount for her monthly rent, and it covered breakfast and dinner. I compared them with other facilities, and they were on par or even below the usual prices so I feel like it's a good value."

"Private rooms with ample space for some furniture. The facility is well-kept and is currently undergoing some rehabilitation. There are no lingering odors, and the rooms are cleaned quite frequently especially the bathrooms. The memory care staff are all caring and attend to the needs of the residence with a "smile" which can be a challenge at times. My wife has been at the Lakes for over a year and a half and I am pleased that this facility was selected. The Business Office is managed by Kara, and she has gone out of her way to help me resolve an insurance issue. If you have the financial resources this community is worth and evaluation."

"Magnolia Bridge at Murrells Inlet was very nice. It's terrific. It's roomy, It's new and had bright windows. The layout of the rooms was spacious. The apartments had a nice flow, and the kind of movement from room to room was very nice. They're laid out very well. Mom is going to be in a single-story townhouse. All utilities would be included as part of the price except for a telephone. We would be responsible for that. They come in and clean once a month, So, there's some benefit there. They have a central building where they have a dining room. So, if you want to cook for yourself, you can, but if you don't want to, you can go eat in the dining room and they make breakfast, lunch, and dinner and everything. Everything was very affordable in terms of meals. The main building had multiple floors, but there were elevators. So, if you're having trouble moving around, you can take the elevator up to the upper floors. The townhouses were all single story and they were typically side by side. So two townhouses would be attached. The kitchens were big. The layout was nice. It's terrific. The square footage, including the garage, was 1700 square feet. So, they have a fair amount of room, but not too big."
