The Best Independent Living Communities in Horry County, SC

"The Grove at Coastal Grand was beautiful. The staff seemed to be very caring. Their interaction with the clientele was superb. The aesthetic was awesome. The two-bedroom that I looked at had ample space. It was very clean. They're friendly. They interact with their clientele. They're very professional. I saw people in wheelchairs. I saw people with their families. I saw people that are independent. I was there for quite some time with them."

"Watercrest Myrtle Beach was stunning. It smelled good, and it was just gorgeous. They had a very attentive staff. They had a diverse food selection for different residents who may have different food needs. The style was more like a luxury hotel than an assisted living facility. It was very homey, very comfortable, and very welcoming. Everyone there was very engaged. Their chef made a dozen of freshly baked cookies for my parents that morning - 6 oatmeal cookies and 6 chocolate chip cookies as a welcome gesture. It was above and beyond, and they had them sent to my parents in the hospital. Where most assisted living facilities have a little eating area, theirs looked more like a restaurant. They didn't have specific hours where the residents could eat. Somebody would come take your order, and they would make you whatever you want."

"Garden Manor had small apartments. There was a library and a small place in the back where you could plant flowers. They served one nice big meal a day. If you wanted something for later in the evening, you could get a box of food to take with you. They would come and clean once a week. They went on trips for shopping in a van. It was just what I needed. The people were very nice, very friendly, and outgoing. "

"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."

"I liked everything about River Park Senior Living. I didn't try the food during my tour, but I ate there at a party, and the food was good. The staff answered all my questions. Everything was clean and in order."

"I like that the admission person here was very personable. She worked hard to get everything we would need in place for my father. They supply appliances, and my parents are going into a two-bedroom-two-bath apartment that has all the features of a kitchen like a stove, a refrigerator, a microwave, and all that stuff. They have a washer and dryer. The staff who gave the tour was awesome. They provide three hot meals a day, and the set-up is more like restaurant style so that when you sit down, someone comes and waits on you and serves the food to you. The building is beautiful. They keep it very clean."

"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."

"Mom has been at Sunset Creek Commons for 4 years now. She has a really nice apartment there. She wears a medical alert necklace. The thing that I like the best is the manager and the maintenance help. They stay on top of things, and they are very responsive if there's an issue with the apartment. The place is very clean. They have a no smoking policy, which I like. If they catch someone smoking, then they are evicted. They go into the apartments twice a year to inspect them and make sure that people are keeping their apartments clean. If not, they are given a timeline of cleaning it up. They have a meeting room that they can use. Occasionally, they have a potluck dinner."
