Independent Living Communities in Murrells Inlet, SC

"We toured Arbor Landing at Surfside. The guests were all so happy - that was one thing, and the employees were super nice and helpful. The place was beautiful. The rooms and everything were so well done for seniors. The dining halls, everything, we were just very impressed with all of that. The price range would probably be a problem because it started at $4,600 a month, something like that. I'm sure we wouldn't get the same quality for less. Some things we wouldn't necessarily need, but it was good. We saw the food, and it looked good. The menus sounded good, too. Everything was good."

"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."

"The Indigo at Carolina Forest is my favorite. I visited their independent living community, and the staff is excellent and very friendly. They introduced me as we went throughout the building. They gave an excellent tour and feedback on the different facilities and the things they had to offer. The dining area was particularly pleasant. I saw a lot of resident interaction there, and that was probably the most positive point for this place. It looked like the residents were engaged and interacting."

"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."

"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."
