Memory Care Communities in Greer, SC

"I got a full tour of everything. It was beautiful. The staff seemed wonderful. The rooms were spacious. It was very nice. They have a lot of activities that go on. They have a theater room and a full salon. They have just different things like that. The grounds were beautiful. You could go out in the courtyard and sit. They had a huge fireplace in the entrance, the little bistro, and all that kind of thing, so it was just very nice. It's very nice and brand new. It was just a good experience."

"This place is great. 5 star rated. Loved having my family member be there. Same staff every time. Large private suites."

"I toured Oakview Park. I liked it. It was nice. Everywhere was nice. In the front, people were coming in and out. These are patients that are coming out to see the sunset and that was good. They showed me where their PT was and where their OT was. Then they showed me an activities room where they get all kinds of activities. It seems like they do everything. The staff was telling me all the different activities they do. When I got there, it was about lunchtime, and they called the patients, and they were all walking into the dining room, and they seemed happy. They gave me a menu to show me what they had. Everybody seemed to be doing their job like talking to the patients, which is important to me. The lady that helped me, was very helpful, and informative and she knew what she was doing. The room that I looked at was furnished with the woman's furniture. The inside was really clean and so was the outside."

"Dad moved to Brookstone Terrace of Woodruff. They are good. They're very helpful and friendly. Communication is good with them. Dad is in a single occupancy. It has a full bathroom for showers and everything in it, which some places don't. It's a little larger than a studio. He has a bed, a sitting area, and everything else. The food I tasted was very good. I had French toast for breakfast."

"My mother is very happy at TerraBell Thornblade's assisted living. Their professional staff, the caregivers, are not only well educated as far as their training, but they also knew their jobs, and they genuinely seem to care. They're very kind to the residents and act more like relatives than they act like employees. We're very happy with the way that they treat my mother. I've also seen the way they treat other people, and it's the same. They've got a good bunch of people working there. My mother is 99 years old, and she eats every day, so that's pretty good. I think she never refuses their meals. Their grounds are well-kept, and the inside of their building is light and airy. It is very well-maintained as far as cleanliness goes. I've never seen anything that I would disapprove of. Everything seems to be well maintained and taken care of. They post an activities calendar, and there are events for the residents every day."

"My father will move into Pine Grove Senior Living on January 14th. I have been there twice, and next Wednesday, we will be taking my father there. It appears to be a nice facility. The staff seems to be caring, understanding and assisting. They're updating the rooms and they're supposed to be finishing this week on the room that dad is going into. They have repainted the room, they have added some extra accessories to it. They've taken the carpet out and put some kind of hardwood floors. He's going into a private room to start with, and probably will go to a semi-private room in a year or so. And it's not really a kitchenette, but it does have a microwave and a little refrigerator, and its own bathroom and shower. The dining room appears to be very nice. I saw the menu for the week that they were preparing for, and most of the food there, dad would probably eat. He is a picky eater and there are probably a few days he would have to request something else, which they do have a second menu. They do have a salon, they do have a media room where they do movie nights, and there are TVs in several of the common areas that people can watch, or watch in their room. They do arts and crafts. Upkeep and maintenance appear to be very good, and they also have been remodeling the place. So the whole place has gotten a facelift. They have been more than helpful and they have bent over backward trying to help me to facilitate getting him into an assisted living place."

"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."

"The staff at The Gardens at Eastside is wonderful! Each division is committed to the care of the residents. The first day my Mother and I toured the facility we met the Community Sales Director who set the welcoming and friendly tone that helped us know we had found the right assisted living facility! The nursing staff is all very knowledgeable about my Mother’s health, medications, and physical therapy needs. The dining/food service staff is attentive and make the residents’ nutrition and enjoyment of their meals a priority. The engagement staff offer a wide variety of activities each day to enrich the residents’ lives, encourage fun and a sense of community, and promote lifelong learning. The maintenance staff is available and quickly respond to requests; from hanging a picture, mounting a television, tightening a window blind, to securely attaching an adjustable, contoured bed rail. The executive/management staff is an integral part of The Gardens at Eastside community and are always available to residents, staff, and families. Each resident and family member is addressed by name and often asked how things are going and are encouraged to bring any issues of concern to their attention. My Mother, my family, our relatives, friends, and I are very pleased with The Gardens at Eastside and highly recommend this facility to seniors who are looking for, not only assisted living, but a welcoming and responsive community. "

"We chose here for my father more because of the cost. The people seem to care about the residents, but they don't do a whole lot activity-wise. He's been diagnosed with dementia, and they take him out to the common area, and they play bingo and do some word games. He's in the locked side. The menu looked like school lunches. It had meat, vegetables, lasagna, salad, and pancakes, sausage and eggs for breakfast. They do three meals and one or two snacks a day. The people are extremely nice. I just wish the facilities are a little nicer. They provide the bed, dresser, chair, and pretty much everything that he needs. It's not a bad building, but it's not as attractive as the others. It doesn't smell bad, and they seem to keep it fairly clean. He's in diapers now, and they're keeping him clean. We've been very pleased and happy with what we've seen."

"Mom has been here for 4 years, currently in the memory care area. She is very well cared for and seems to just love the caregivers. Food is great, she often will eat all on her plate. The staff is great! You can tell they love the residents. I would definitely recommend this as sisted living!"

"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."

"Shepherd's Care looked like a great place. If I could afford to put my mom in, I would have. It was in good shape. It looked like a nice, clean place. I talked with some of the elderly there and they all seemed to love the place. I talked to a couple of nurses, and they loved working there. They were all nice people. It was a good experience. The folks were eating lunch then. But they showed me a little area where they have activities, and I guess, they were going on a little outing later that day. The apartments were small but they were clean."

"I've lived in Cascades Verdae, and it was very good. I was happy there; the only reason I left was because it's too far from my son's place. I would recommend them. It was a very excellent place to live. The staff members were courteous and efficient. They had a regular fitness program, a complete workout place, and a swimming pool. It was a warm, saltwater pool, and it was for anyone who wanted to maintain their fitness. They had exercise programs with music playing to keep your beat. It was excellent, other than I want to be close to my family. The value for the money is completely adequate."

"My mother was a resident. I thought it was a really good community, they worked really hard in getting all the residents involved. And they did a good job getting my mom involved in a lot of things, since she's not really the type of person to do that. The room was very nice and spacious. And with the furniture she had in there, it gave her a lot of room to move around in her walker and not run in to things. The bathroom was very good, it had a walk-in shower so she could get in and out of there very easily. The staff was excellent, they really tried very hard with her. And of course there's always a few you'd like better than the others, but we felt that overall everybody did a good job. We didn't taste the food, but we were in the dining room with her on several occasions, and the food was very appetizing and she said it was good. The staff members were excellent, very caring, and a couple of them even came to her funeral. And they called to tell us that they're visibly upset that she passed. They did some crafts, they played games daily, they went on little excursions, and they had several things to get the family involved like Thanksgiving dinner. And at Christmas they had cookies with Santa where the family members brought cookies and they put them out in the common areas. It just had a Christmas thing to it. Everybody seemed happy, the residents seemed happy and the staff was always smiling and happy whenever you saw them. It was a good overall feeling. The facilities were very nice and they were always very clean. You see more people out in the common areas than in their rooms."
