The Best Independent Living Communities in Greenville County, SC

"We went to Summit Place & Summit Court. It wasn't appropriate for my mother because she would have to walk outside without cover to get her meals, so on rainy days or cold days with frequent snow days, she would not be able to get her food. She was the one that decided that wasn't for her. Their independent living is like little condos, and that wasn't going to work for her. It's got more assisted living and very little independent living, and the independent living is outside the main building, like little condos. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, very helpful, and very professional. She was the marketing manager."

"I toured LaurelHurst & LaurelWoods. It has very friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful. It has a very nice setup, and the rooms and the dining area were nice. However, there was no availability."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Bayberry Retirement Inn was a nice place. It had big rooms. It was clean and neat. It did not have an odor. "

"We have my mother on the waiting list for the Legacy Reserve at Fairview Park. The staff members are very helpful and very friendly. They are a caring community. The rooms are very spacious and clean. They look very nice. The dining room is beautiful. It is set up very nicely. I would tell others that they're very helpful. If they have any questions, they will answer them for them, and if they don't know the answer, they will find it for you."

"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."

"I went to Quillen Manor to visit a friend. It's very clean, and no smell. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. When my friend's birthday comes, we have taken things for a party down, and they had accommodated us with a private room. My friend's room was very nice, and with a private bath of course. They have a beauty salon and a library. The residents have a bus when they go out to eat, or to take them shopping."

"Mom has been here for 4 years, currently in the memory care area. She is very well cared for and seems to just love the caregivers. Food is great, she often will eat all on her plate. The staff is great! You can tell they love the residents. I would definitely recommend this as sisted living!"
