Independent Living Communities in Myrtle Beach, SC

"I lived in the area of Brightwater, and it was pretty easy to find. It was a little pricey, but it was nice and really attractive. It was well-done, clean, and nicely decorated. There weren't many people that I saw, but the staff was very pleasant to us. We looked at the house and the rooms, and they were both nice and a good size. We ate lunch there, and I had turkey, which was kind of bland, but they had a variety, and I'm sure some of it was kind of tasty. They told me what activities they had, but I didn't see anybody doing them. "

"We've been very happy with Lakeside Crossing. It's kept up nice and we have beautiful facilities. We've got indoor/outdoor pools, a workout room, a craft room, a community hall for the dances, and a library. Most of the staff here are very friendly. We just got a new manager, and he is very nice and has done a lot of upkeep on the place to make sure things are getting done. I am very pleased with him. They also have card games, music, and bingo for activities."

"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. "

"We toured the Magnolia Bridge at Murrells Inlet. The two people who took us on the tour were good. They were okay, but they were rushed. We didn't see much at all. We did see one apartment, but everything about that was older. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's newer, but it didn't seem that way. We did not like it as much as the others. It was in a separate building. You go outside to that, and maybe there was nothing available inside the main building, but she'd told us beforehand that she just had a limited amount of time. So, we did not see as much as we saw at the other one. The atmosphere was okay. It was good. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't up to the quality and the atmosphere of others. The halls were narrow, whereas the others were wide and spacious."

"I considered moving my husband to River Park Senior Living, but they did not have a skilled level that they can move him up to. You have to move out of the facility to a skilled nursing home. They had waterfalls and a little garden for the residents to walk out and stay in and they won't get lost. They still contact me about placing him there. The staff spent a lot of time with me and my husband. They had a chef that's so wonderful. He was always making special things for people, and they bragged about how good the food was there. It was a gorgeous facility. When you walk in, you never knew you're in a nursing home, you never smell an odor, and you never saw someone left unattended. I know a neighbor that has her mother there, and she's been very satisfied."

"I toured The Lakes at Litchfield. My dad is moving there in the next couple of months. It was a very pleasant experience, and I saw a nice, very roomy, 2-bedroom apartment. I only met the lady that was touring us, and she was great. The food was very good. We saw the dining room, the outside, and the rooms available."

"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."
