Memory Care Communities in Bluffton, SC

"This is a quaint facility on Wilmington Island in Savannah. The area is popular because it is close enough to all the charm that Savannah has to offer and plenty of nearby shopping, yet it has a rural feel to it. Staff here is very caring. All the amenities a good assisted living facility should have. Recently opened an 11 bed dementia unit. This is a great location for folks with mild to mid dementia Great support available. Excellent food prepared on site. Lovely landscaped courtyard. Downside, not a continuum of care community so if needs surpass the scope of assisted living, a move will be necessary. "

"We got to see Harmony at Savannah, and it was lovely. Everybody was great, the facility and people were great. My brother had a golf cart, and the other place we chose was adjacent to it, while that was not the case with Harmony. The place was awesome, and the physical appearance was great. They were cautious, wearing masks, and were following protocol."

"Oaks at Pooler was a great, good-sized place that was only a year old. It wasn't huge and felt a little more personable. It had more of a clinical and industrial type of feel and was not quite homey. They had common rooms and a full calendar of activities every day. The community relations director was the only person we interacted with."

"I will be moving into Legacy at Savannah Quarters this June. It is near my family. It's all one level and built around a really nice courtyard. It has a small pool, a fire pit, and even a bar in the middle. They have physical fitness and an activities staff for different recreational activities."

"It was an excellent facility that I would use absolutely. It was inviting. I would recommend it highly. The apartments were in good sizes, and there were choices of floor plans. It was a very nice and clean facility. The clientele were engaged. "

"We moved dad into the memory unit of Sprenger Health Care Bluffton. The facility is new, I think about a year old, so it's relatively clean and well-appointed. There are three different levels of care, assisted living, nursing, and then memory care. Once my father was put in the nursing facility, it took about three or four weeks and we realized that was not the right unit for him. He was falling and I think the level of care was not what he needed. I was determined that he should be in the memory care unit, and he's getting good care there now. We're very happy. I feel like the nurses care about his well-being. I think especially right now with the pandemic, there's certainly a shortage of caregivers in facilities like this one. You can tell the people who care and the people who don't care as much when they're stressed with extra workloads and so forth. There's also a physical therapy unit with physical therapists and so forth. And I'm very happy with the care that my father received from those people. There's a doctor on staff and all in all, I think that he's receiving good care. I believe most of the rooms are approximately the same size. They all have a bed, their bathroom, with television, phone, and nice cabinets to store not only your clothes but other personal belongings. My father's room was nicely done. It had a nice paint job. The units are all approximately the same size, but they're appointed slightly differently, depending on whether you need assisted living, or nursing, or memory care. I know that there's another gentleman who's there for assisted living, and he has more of what you would kind of consider a residential look as opposed to my father who's in the memory care who has more of a kind of a clinical, even though there are the feng shui colors, and it's very warm and inviting. It's a little more of a hospital look. Some entertainers come on a scheduled basis. Some play musical instruments, and there's a schedule of events that comes out every day for residents there. I can't say that we've taken advantage of it. I think my dad is in a more advanced stage of the care that he needs, so he would not benefit from entertainment, but there is entertainment there. There's even a bar in the main reception area where you do feel like you are kind of socially active there. Snacks are served and even some drinks if you qualify to have a drink. Overall, it's a happy place, as happy as a nursing facility can be. In addition to the physical therapy type of care that keeps people active, some entertainment comes into the facility."

"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."

"After looking at about six facilities I decided on the Retreat at Lady’s Island. This proved to be one the best decisions I have ever made. The Retreat is maintained impeccably, the food is exceptional and most of all the staff is amazing. My wife is treated like family. Honestly, this place exceeded my wildest expectations. Don’t think I’ve ever been associated with or have known an organization with so many pleasant and competent people who genuinely love their work. God’s work."

"Mom has already settled at Buckingham South. It's a beautiful place. They have good lighting and for an assisted living facility, I think it is very nice. The staff is excellent. Their activities vary from each week. They have entertainment, movies, and games. They also have some arts and crafts. They have a lot of activities within the building. They have a nice library and a pool table. The food is good, not gourmet eating, but its good. The residents love having choices with the type of food that they want. I like that they have a lot of choices in the layout of the rooms. It's very efficient and very safe. They do try to make the community happy and that is nice. They are also pretty good at addressing issues right way. "

"I came across here and I called, they say they do a week at a time for respite. It was clean and they only specialize in dementia and Alzheimer's. They said that mom would have her own bedroom, and her own bathroom and I like that. They didn't have a lot of patients. The facility is kind of small and they said they only get up to about 40 or 50 residents. The mall is close to it."

"We visited here, which looked like a hotel. It was really great. They had a two-bedroom apartment, but it was too small. They had great planned activities and a nice dining room where they served food three times a day, but you have the option to have two meals a day. Everybody was really nice. "
