The Best Memory Care Communities in Greenville County, SC

"I'm going to The Residences of Greer. I gave them a deposit to hold my room. It was one of the best. Everybody was friendly. They were very nice. I went over today to pick out a room. I had lunch there, and the lunch was very good. The people were very cordial. I spoke to several of the people in the place while I was having lunch, and every one of them said, 'You're going to love it here.' When I picked out my room, there was still some stuff that had not been moved yet, like there was one dresser, which I'm going to need. I asked if that dresser was for sale or if I could purchase it, and they said, 'No, not this one, but we do have one down the hall that we can donate to the room.' It turned out to be nicer than the one they had in the room. It also looked quite new, so I thought that it was really nice. They're very helpful and very pleasant. I also met the director, who sat down with us. When I was there today, he had on his work clothes, and I said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'Oh, I'm doing a little hard work today.' I enjoyed the meal very much. There's nothing I can complain about the place. It's very good. I had an aide with me, and she said the food was good, too."

"My sister moved into Brookstone Terrace of Simpsonville. My brother went on a tour first because he lives in that area. And then I went up and we took my sister with us, and she liked it. People were very kind and caring and seemed very professional, but they also seemed fun and I wanted my sister to have fun along with good care. So we went ahead and signed a contract and moved in on March 1st. Their staff has been so good. If I have a question, I call and they get right back to me. They answer my questions. They take very good care of her and they honestly care about her as a person. My sister is enjoying their food. Her room is kept well, and the facility itself is kept well, but I'm just kind of a neat freak. I've seen a lot of their activities because they have a Facebook page and my sister has been involved in just about all of them. But they do crafts, and they do mind stimulating games, and they play bingo, and they've played hot potato to a lot of things where there's physical interaction with the group. They just make it fun. They do a ball toss with a big parachute thing with a group. So she's been participating in almost everything."

"I liked everything about Oakview Park. I didn't have anything negative to say. It was very clean. The members there were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. They had very spacious rooms, and I liked the vicinity to the common area. They're easy access, and they have well-laid-out living spaces."

"Spring Park was excellent. The location of that is just super. The trees were all the way around it. It was gorgeous. The facility was beautiful. The people were super nice. I couldn't say anything negative about them. They were equally nice as the other place; however, it was $1700 more, which is a big difference. The surrounding area was drop-dead gorgeous. It was secluded. You couldn't see anything but nature. It was a beautiful setting. The staff members were wonderful, too. I tried their meal, and it was unbeatable. When I left there, I thought it was the place I was going to go to. I sat with three other gentlemen who lived there, and I said, 'This meal is superb,' and they said every meal is just like it. There was nothing about the place that you wouldn't love, only the price."

"I liked Brookstone Terrace of Woodruff. It was nice and clean. Everybody seemed happy. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and it looked like they cared for their residents. The guy told me they just finished doing some renovations. Everything on the inside looked great. They had a patio."

"We toured Rosecrest Retirement Community. We really can't afford that one. It's a very nice facility, but it's very expensive. The staff we talked to were very nice and seemed very helpful, but I didn't have much to do with them. The facility looked very nice and very clean. The atmosphere was very nice. Everything was good."

"We went to Summit Place & Summit Court. It wasn't appropriate for my mother because she would have to walk outside without cover to get her meals, so on rainy days or cold days with frequent snow days, she would not be able to get her food. She was the one that decided that wasn't for her. Their independent living is like little condos, and that wasn't going to work for her. It's got more assisted living and very little independent living, and the independent living is outside the main building, like little condos. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, very helpful, and very professional. She was the marketing manager."

"I liked TerraBella Spartanburg except that they were too far from me. It was nice. They have movies, different classes, a reading room, a library, and private units. They had one lady in there that was reading books and two people that were blind that had Braille cards with them so they could get into card games. There were also a couple of other activities that blind residents could participate in. They had a garden area with chairs out there and a front patio. It was nice and clean. There were always people sweeping and mopping. It was well-kept."

"Bebe and her staff are really great working with the residents on both assisted living and memory care units. My father-in-law has flourished under their care. They’ve gotten him to do activities at the local YMCA I didn’t think he would ever do (water aerobics for starters)."

"I toured LaurelHurst & LaurelWoods. It has very friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful. It has a very nice setup, and the rooms and the dining area were nice. However, there was no availability."

"Mom has lived in three care facilities in Greenville, SC. The Gardens has been the best place by far. A great and caring staff. Responsive medical care. The facility is clean and well maintained. We are very happy we found The Gardens."

"I visit my 91 y.o. Grandmother there. She is always clean & well cared for. She and the other residents seem happy and the staff is friendly and always willing to be of service. They do a nice job of trying to provide a variety of activities for the residents. My Uncle seems very pleased with how his Mother is being cared for. "

"My parents moved into Hilltop of Greenville Memory Care a month ago. We like the place and they're getting excellent care. They provide meals, laundry, help in bathing, getting dressed, and a lot of activities and stuff to do during the day. They play games, they read books to them, and they go outside and they do stuff. The staff is excellent, very caring, and very welcoming. The food is very good."

"I toured The Gables. It was very clean and everything seemed accessible. I liked the layout of the community rooms and dining rooms. The staff was very nice and helpful."
