Memory Care Communities in Florence, SC

"We have moved my dad here. It's been good so far. We can't go in to see anybody because of COVID, but getting him checked in was good, and the people being good to him. So far, so good. We were able to set up the furniture in his room. His room is OK. It's a small apartment, but that's all the room he needed. He has been quarantined for 14 days, so he really hasn't experienced the dining room. They pretty much brought meals to him. He hasn't complained about the food, so it must be OK. Everything is clean and in order. It doesn't smell like a nursing home."

"The Addison of Florence was very clean and well-kept. The amenities were great. Alicia, who assisted with the tour, was very professional, very friendly, and knowledgeable about everything. The staff communicated throughout the entire tour and greeted us. Everything was a plus with them. The structure was good. Everything was updated; the rooms, the flooring, the countertops, and the bathroom. The layout was good. My aunt loves to sit on her porch in her home, and they have a patio. Some rooms have access to their own patio."

"My mother moved into Pee Dee Gardens. It was as easy as it could be, because it's a great location. It's not even 20 miles from where Mom's house was, so there's a lot of traffic through there just going to Florence, the town where most of the people shop and the little town she lived in. She has one daughter six minutes away, another daughter about 20 minutes away, and another granddaughter which is three minutes away, so she's surrounded by help as needed. So that's worked well. I can't say enough about the people at Pee Dee Gardens there. Melody and the crowd have just been absolutely wonderful as far as the transition and making sure that Mom feels loved and feels at home, and they've just been just wonderful. I couldn't ask for better."

"We visited here. It was very nice and they were polite, and I liked the nurses. I even like the one where they lived on their own, but my grandma wasn't strong enough to live on her own. The rooms were big, they were nice, very neat, and more accommodating for the people who needed them. If my grandma had been there, it would have been more than enough space for her. They had a big dining area. If another one of my loved ones needed a place to stay or if I couldn't take care of them, I would most definitely recommend this place because it was awesome. They welcomed us like we were already family. I thought it was a beautiful place and I thought my grandma would have loved it. I was amazed. I didn't see leaks in the ceilings, I didn't see anything nasty that would have made me think that I didn't want her there."

"The staff is very friendly and always smiling and asking if they can do anything for you or your loved one. I can sleep at night now knowing my dad is well taken care of and wants for nothing. I know that if he has any health issues they will contact me immediately. His being at home alone was not an option once the falls and injuries were a regular thing for him. I couldn't bare the thought of coming to check on him at this house and finding him injured or worse. I am so grateful that the Presbyterian is there for my dad's well being as well as mine. A true God send !!"

"Methodist is a continuum care which is what we needed or wanted -- from independent living all the way through nursing home. We have a very small kitchen, a living room, bathroom, and a bedroom. My husband is currently in the assisted living part as he needed more care when he was out from the hospital. Eventually, he will come back to me and that’s the beauty of living in a place like this. The staff is excellent. We have our own chef here and we have excellent and well-prepared meals. We have a lot of different card groups and Bingo twice a week. We do wine and cheese tastings monthly. They like people to go to the noon meal for socialization, but you can go to any meal you want -- you get one meal a day. We have excellent servers and we order off a menu. We have 15 different entrees to choose from. They cleaned the apartment weekly, stripped the bed, made the bed, and washed the sheets. They take us to all doctor appointments, shopping, and they take us to the symphony. I think if they would have a swimming pool here for exercise that would help a lot of people, but I would absolutely recommend the community. "
