"I visited Canterfield of Bluffton. It was a nice facility and I was impressed by it. They have a nice restaurant, good food, nice help, and an attentive nursing staff. It was everything I thought it would be. It was very pleasant. The staff member was very confident, didnt not leave any stone unturned, answered all my questions, and was very thorough. The appearance of the facility was perfect; it was pristine."

"Vineyard Bluffton is at the top of my list right now. It's a 5 all the way around. We met some of the residents there. The food appeared to be excellent, well prepared, and I would certainly eat there if I had to any time. We viewed several apartments, and they're excellent. They're exactly what we would be looking for to settle on. They had everything from pickleball to arts and crafts and physical therapy. I can't even name them all. They're well rounded and something that seniors would appreciate. We went to three courtyards. They're very open. There's a lot of greenery with little lagoons and little pools. It was just very impressive."

"We toured The Addison of Bluffton. The facility is very nice. Everything is clean. It's a beautiful facility, and lots of rooms are light-filled. Their admissions person was very communicative at all levels and answered my questions. We walked around there. I was impressed that they put call buttons about 15 inches off the floor in the residence rooms. So, if someone was on the floor, they could easily reach it, and from right there, where they were on the floor. I was impressed by the very good staff-to-resident ratio in the facility. I was impressed with the numbers that they had for that metric. It was a very impressive facility. I would move some money into that any minute. Brian was very forthcoming, knowledgeable, and willing to help and answer anything I had to ask."

"My mom stayed in memory care at The Palmettos of Bluffton and it was outstanding. It's a brand new facility and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to do whatever they could to make the residents feel welcomed and comfortable. They had a lot of activities and amenities. They would run old movies, do singalongs, a lot of entertainers come in to perform, play memory games like card games, do crafts and baking projects."

"The Retreat at Lady's Island was a fairly new facility. It was a three-story facility. Each level had a lobby area for the residents, but the residents would have to go downstairs to eat. Their staff-to-resident ratio was pretty good. Besides it being large, nothing remarkable stood out to me. They had different levels of rooms from studios to 2-bedroom apartments. They were clean, well-equipped, and ADA- accessible. One nice thing was they have water views from the Marsh. This facility had a pretty good overall atmosphere. It was engaging. Activities were going on with the residents and the staff. The person who provided me with the tour was good and engaging. It was all-inclusive care. They had an in-house pharmacy, an in-house physical therapy, and a third-party connection with a doctor. "

"My father will be moving into Bloom at Belfair. It's a very nice place. We like that. They've got very good people. We like the offerings of the place. It looks like it's going to fit my father's needs very well. They've got lots of different things going on. They have transportation, snacks, and meals. The best thing about it is you pay one price and there are very few incidentals after that beyond your medical and stuff. The meal preparation is a big deal, the house cleaning, and the fact that there's going to be someone there onsite 24/7 if something happens."

"The staff was very professional, took a lot of time to talk to me and took me on a tour. They had meeting rooms, activity rooms, music, piano, get-togethers, live entertainment, game room, and a place for happy hour. The memory care facilities got their own wing there. It was clean, but a little bit of an older facility."

"My cousin moved into The Pines at Bluffton Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's a small studio, but it's got a patio, and it seems to be working out fine. I have tried their food, it's very good. The facility is lovely, it looks clean, and it's fresh without having a bleached smell. It's really nice."

"I went to Sprenger Health Care Bluffton. The tour was very good. Cynthia did a good job with the tour. She's very knowledgeable and helpful. I was not impressed with their staff-to-resident ratio in the assisted living part. I thought their staff-to-resident ratio number was not where it should be. The rooms seemed fine. Everything looked clean. They're a very usable, livable type of space. There's a small refrigerator, like a little freezer, a little microwave, and a little counter where they could fix a cup of coffee, and that seemed to be pretty standard across the facilities."
