Memory Care Communities in Charleston, SC

"I toured Mount Pleasant Gardens Memory Care Community. It was very nice and clean, and everybody was very friendly. It was very nice because they showed me all the different parts and things like that. There was one group that was doing some crafts, but that's all I saw that day."

"I have been to Franke at Seaside. My friend is in the independent living side. It's absolutely perfect. It's beautiful. The grounds are well kept. Everything is very clean and very nice. It's like a resort almost. My friend has no complaints. She likes it quite well, but I didn't personally meet any of the staff members. They have beautiful dining areas and a chapel for church-type things. They have activity rooms where they could go in and do crafts or stuff like that. It was just very pleasant. The residents looked well dressed. I would say it's a very affluent community. I thought the activities were good. The food was excellent."

"I like Harmony at Wescott. I love that they offer all three levels of care. That was my favorite thing. I like that even with the memory care wing, the residents are able to lock their front door. I loved that because that was something you cannot do at the other place. The living spaces were fine. The apartments in the assisted living rooms were fairly similar, but they were plenty roomy. The place seemed very clean. The staff who gave the tour was very nice and very informative."

"My husband moved to Stratford Place. It's wonderful having him there because I don't have to worry about him getting up, wandering away in the middle of the night, and not hearing him. The staff was very nice. They go out of their way to help the residents. They're all very friendly. It has two big bay windows, one on the side and one in the front. The room is huge with a large bathroom. They have an outside area where they can go out and sit that is locked down so you don't have to worry about them. They have a doctor who comes in whenever they need them."

"I like TerraBella Summerville a lot. My mother would be moving in there today if we could afford it. It topped off every single place that I've looked at by far. They really seem to have genuine care for their residents. I had the opportunity to see the staff interacting with a particular resident who seemed a little bit lost and needed a little bit of assistance, and they were right on it, caring for him and understanding that he was confused. It was really wonderful. They have new management there that's working toward building different activity centers for them, which I thought was really fantastic. The facility itself was very clean. I really enjoyed the fact that they had nursing staff 24/7 there. The staff was very understanding to the very specific needs that my mother has. He was very understanding and very concise. He was great about explaining how things work there, so I really thought it was great. They have an activities director there. They have a monthly calendar with different activities that they can choose to do throughout the day every day. They were in the middle of building a new arts and crafts room, as well as putting together a makeshift movie theater type deal for them."

"My husband is at Kempton of Charleston. He's been there for a year. Everybody has been great. My husband loves it there. It's a very nice place. They take good care of him, so I have no complaints. It's the most beautiful place in Charleston. It's like a five-star hotel. It's relatively new. The staff members are great. They have an activities director who takes them out to various places in Charleston, which is nice. One of the things I'm the happiest about is that they do a lot of activities. They're kept busy if they want to. She encourages everyone to participate. My husband gained 15 pounds, so he loves the food. It's a little bit more expensive."

"My Aunt lives at The Palmettos and believe me we looked at a lot of places. For the money we found this to be a great option, and in many cases better than the more expensive ones.The staff could not be kinder and more helpful. My Aunt's room is very nice and has a lovely view. The facility is always clean and smells fresh, not antiseptic. It was recently remolded with very tasteful furnishings, paintings and carpet. They provide just about anything you could ask for including a family like atmosphere. My Aunt calls the staff her kids! They have outings that she enjoys, from the Dollar Tree to very nice lunch outings. From top management on down the ladder they provide a safe, friendly environment, which gives me great peace of mind. "

"I'm very happy with Indigo Hall. My father is improving while my mother feels like she's on vacation. I compare it to the Ritz Carlton. The staff is lovely and very attentive. They know every single person there. I've spent a lot of time there and they just have been amazing. They're all kind and caring. I'm impressed with the intellectual level and the level of care demonstrated by everybody that I've encountered. The food is very good and I was impressed with the quality of wine they serve for happy hour. They have music therapy, guest speakers, a program on travel, exercise class, church services on Sunday, and a lot more. I think they're doing great. They have a quite nice room. It's beautiful. I'm very pleased with them."

"We have chosen Wellmore of Daniel Island for my mother-in-law. Well, she's from Daniel Island, and she's familiar with the area. She's still able to get around a little bit, and so we figured it wouldn't be a drastic change. Her friends could visit her; that's the main reason. It's also a very nice-looking facility. The staff was very friendly. Everybody introduced themselves as we walked through. They seemed very professional, and positive. My mother-in-law hasn't moved in yet. She'll be moving in next week. Wellmore of Daniel Island was excellent as far as physical condition. The dining room, the swimming pool, the TV room, the quiet room, and the sitting room were all well manicured, and clean. The staff was very friendly, and very helpful. Other than it being a little more expensive than the rest, I have no complaints about it. I think it's a fine facility. I was more impressed with the staff than the building, that's how good the staff presented themselves. The facility is only two years old."

"My mother, who is currently 90, Moved to a Senior Independent Living Apartment at The Palms in December of 2020. She is so happy there. She really enjoys the activities, especially Bingo, Happy Hour, and Movies. She always tells me the food is delicious, and really enjoys socializing with other Residents. She has said to me many times how safe she feels at The Palms. The staff are very friendly and helpful. One recent example is when visiting earlier this week, I noticed her AC didn't seem to be cooling properly. We mentioned it to the front desk staff, and within a very short time, someone came to check it out and her AC was repaired promptly along with follow up checks to be sure it was still working properly. The Maintenance Director kept me informed of of what they were doing to help every step of the way. The Executive Director is also consistently very caring and helpful in answering any questions, and keeping Residents and Family informed. The environment is welcoming with lovely fresh flowers all around, and the beautiful outdoor Courtyard is a real plus!"

"We toured and it was very nice, clean, bright, and airy. Everybody seemed happy there. We liked it, and it is one of our two finalists. All the residents seemed well taken care of and happy. They pretty much had everything. We liked the fact that they had home care that came in. They also had physical and occupational therapy, a salon, and a gym."

"My husband has moved into Shem Creek Health Center at South Bay at Mount Pleasant. It's absolutely lovely. I would recommend it. It's a very lovely facility. It's clean and it's neat. The staff is kind. I don't have any complaints about the care that my husband is getting there. The staff members are all well trained. Each individual is assessed based on their capabilities on what they can do, and each care program for the dementia patient is managed individually. For memory care, I haven't seen many activities because they are in a state of decline. But they offer music, puzzles and games and things like that. I think the activities and the engagement that they offer the community are fine for the level that they are in for memory care. I checked about eight facilities in my community, and this one was the nicest and the cleanest of them all. I've been very pleased. However, with regards to the staff, turnover is there, but they are trying to engage everybody. And the value for money is there, too. I would recommend it to anybody, and I have."

"Somerby of Mount Pleasant is a well-managed place. My mom is there and they always have the resident's best interests at heart. The rooms are small, but they're very clean and updated. The staff is excellent. They are caring, friendly, kind, and very nice. The food has not been very good, but it is improving, now that they hired a new chef. They have a gym room, a swimming pool, onsite physical therapy, some classes like chair yoga, and social activities like themed parties. Then they have daily activities like Rummikub and Bridge once a week (although you could play bridge every day if you find people). They have a rosary group and they also take you to church or grocery/stores if you need to. Someone will take you on a bus. If you need a ride and you ask way in advance, they are very nice about arranging that. The only problem is it's expensive and the price goes up every year."
