Memory Care Communities in Lake Wylie, SC

"My mom will be moving into Chandler Place Assisted Living and Memory Care. The sales and marketing director, Kelly, is fantastic at her job. They have long-term care here. She was able to navigate that with me a lot better than anyone else. She asks better questions on intake, very thought-provoking questions about Mom's long-term care, and how we initially get started. I can't say enough good things about Kelly. The facility was clean. Everything just gave me a really warm and pleasant feeling. I met the chef and he was very personable. He was interested in fine-tuning meals. The facility smells very pleasant. The residents all look very happy. They have a library and a room where they watch TV. I saw the shuttle services bring in people from an outing where they went to a local pizzeria. I was able to see that they could have all different levels of activities for their residents."

"Esthetically, HarborChase of Riverwalk was gorgeous. It looked very comfortable. The people that we saw there were engaged in activities. The staff was very pleasant. The rooms were spacious. It looked like a place where my wife could be happy. We had a meal, and it's not five-star gourmet. For large-group feeding, it was surprisingly good. It looked like a very well-balanced meal, and it was tasty."

"My mom was in another assisted living facility previously and it was a nightmare. I was so worried when I had to find another one and in a short amount of time. When I contacted Spring Oak, everyone I interacted with was so nice and professional. Every time I visit, I encounter so many wonderful staff members that are willing to go above and beyond to make sure her needs are met. I am so thankful for the entire staff for helping her feel welcome. If you are looking for a more personable experience, I would definitely recommend this facility."

"It was a small, clean, and a quiet community. It had an activity room, and it had outside entertainment that they bring in from time to time. The residents are also able to go outside as long as they don't have dementia. They do exercises outside to get some fresh air. They serve 3 meals a day. "

"This was my favorite place for mom. Charlotte the owner felt like a sister to me as well as Chenelle, the nurse and Latasha the day health care aid. She really got those ladies moving. It is a small residential environment for women. I think you'll be pleased. Thank you for all you do. Donna."

"My mother just moved into Brookdale South Park. What made me move there was its close proximity to where mom was. She's in memory care and they were very helpful in getting us what we needed to move in. The staff seems very friendly and accommodating. She does not articulate really well, but she seems to be eating and she seems happy. The place is laid out to accommodate each person in their location. It is kind of set up like a wagon wheel and each area is labeled, so if you are able to comprehend where you are, then you will know where you need to go. It appears very clean. She is getting her value's worth for being there for such a short time. It is close to a hospital."

"The Pines on Carmel was very clean and very handicap accessible. I went to see an area where people could go out and just sit. I would have had to take my wheelchair for something like that instead of walking, but that was perfect. The woman who assisted me was very professional and very caring. She wanted to help me, but it was out of her jurisdiction to help me with my finances. She said she would have to have somebody else call me about that part, but I never got a follow-up call about that. So, I'm assuming that for what I needed, they just couldn't help me. I wasn't stressing over it, though. I was OK with everything. The visit was perfect."

"The rooms are beautiful and just the right size. The activities are great. The staff as a whole is so welcoming and helpful."

"My dad moved to The Blake at Edgewater. It was the one where I felt like it had more of a homey feel. It's very well-kept. They have been very nice and accommodating. It's very close to where I live, so it's a short drive for me to check on him, and it's been a good experience. I don't have any complaints about anything. They're very personable. I have personal cell phone numbers, and I can call and speak to them if I need to. He complains about the food every day, though. He is in a large one-bedroom apartment, and everything is up-to-date as far as the aesthetics of it. The bathroom is nice, large, and handicapped-accessible. He has a large closet. It's not a walk-in closet, but he can fit his wheelchair in it. Then he's got a kitchenette area. So, it's nice. They have great activities. My dad just chooses not to participate, but they take them out on trips, like go shopping or to other places like parks and things like that when the weather is nice. They do a lot of arts and crafts. They have people come in to do music performances. I've seen some kids and other people there singing and playing instruments. So, they seemed to have a good variety of activities. Their medications are just expensive."

"My mom moved into Brookdale South Charlotte. At first, she was very upset that she was there because she doesn't like being away from home, but she seems to be adjusting well. We've been very impressed with the staff there. They have all been very willing to answer our questions and take our calls because we've called a lot to check on my mom. We got to see her sitting there talking to people and laughing, so it was a good experience. My mom's room is fantastic. She got one of those rooms that are much larger than the regular room. The facility looks fantastic. You can tell it's been recently renovated and updated. They said my mom is eating, so the food must not be too bad, or she wouldn't eat. The dining area is very open with small tables for small groups. It had a homey feel. They have six activities every day, and they transition those around."

"I visited Charter Senior Living of Charlotte and toured their assisted living facility. The facility was very nice, and the employees I met were very nice and very knowledgeable. They helped me understand how the process works. They were just ready to be available with anything that I needed. They were also very caring and compassionate. Everything was very neat and clean. As soon as you pulled up, the grounds were very neatly manicured, so it was very presentable. The room I saw was a nice size with a bed and sofa. It also had a little kitchenette with a refrigerator. There was no stove, but I think it was manageable."

"The one I liked the most was the Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. Eva, the girl that showed us around, was so nice and wanted to try to fit the place to us, as to what we're looking for. It's a large place, and it covers all types of care. You can go in as an independent, and then if you need help, you can switch over and get assisted living right in the same place. Then, if you need memory care, they also have that available. That appealed to me because as you get older, you change, and I wouldn't want to move again. It had everything you could want. They have at least three meals a day, and on Sunday, they give you brunch. I didn't taste their food. I was invited back to taste it, but I never got back because of my fall. They were generous-sized and well-appointed rooms. They had a full kitchen with a stove, a microwave, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. It had everything. It was spotless and very well done."

"I fell in love with Sunrise on Providence. I liked everything about it. It seemed at home. It was just beautiful: the whole place, the layout, and the furniture. The rooms were handicap accessible. It was perfect. They were very professional and very caring. They listened to me and I'm a talker. They listened to my every word, but when they told me their pricing, I just couldn't afford it. It wasn't in my budget."

"The Post At Providence has been a Godsend for our parent and our family. Yes, the home is beautiful, comfortable and clean. But it's the caring staff, the friendly residents and their family members who make this a Five Star facility. Since our parent has been there, the journey has been less stressful and more meaningful because of this group of wonderful people. Thanks to all of you. "
