The Best Nursing Home Communities in Aiken County, SC

"The staff were generally very nice, not as attentive as we would have liked, but from a family member's perspective I guess you only want the best and can't see what's really going on. The facility was very clean, had a nice activity room, physical therapy room and sun room with rocking chairs for the residents. "

"As this was my first experience with nursing homes I really didn't know what to expect in terms of care. Most people are familiar with the horror stories of abuse on the news, and this had really been my only exposure to nursing homes prior to visiting. Initially my grandfather was placed in a private nursing home, but we soon discovered that he, as a veteran, was eligible to stay in the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home that is local to us. I believe this program is unique to Georgia in that it's completely free to veterans. The care, and facility, were beyond my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive and tried to make the residents feel at home. My grandfather never had any complaints aside from the food (other than just wanting to be back at home). The staff, thankfully, would look the other way when we would sneak him some real food. I imagine our experience with the nursing home was as good as you could hope for given the circumstances. It's never preferable to put a loved one in a place like that, but I'm sure there could have been far worse places that he could've gone. "

"I was at PruittHealth - Augusta Hills for rehab. It was very clean and the staff was very professional. The food was good and I have no complaints about it. The administrator and I just didn't get along well. It was a smoking facility, and he had a thing where newcomers couldn't smoke. He didn't understand that I have been in the hospital for almost four months, and that's where he and I had a problem, but other than that, I didn't have any complaints about him. They would have a specific time that they would call me to do an exercise. If I can't make it to the exercise room, they used to help me while I was in my own room and bed, because it was very difficult for me to get up and move about sometimes. I got along with everyone. It wasn't stressful doing the exercises. I enjoyed it."

"It was close to the house. The facility was clean and homey. The ladies who showed us around, they were really nice. Most of them were two people to a room. People seemed content there. I would recommend it to others. "

"PruittHealth - Augusta was clean. The staff was on hand to greet you when you came in the door. The staff was friendly. They have a community area where older ones could meet to have dinner and things like that. I had a meal there. I don't think the food was heated up well enough. The food was good, it's just that it was kind of cold. The dining set up was fine, no issues. The lighting was adequate. The size was sufficient. Physical appearance was in good condition as far as I could see. Also, I understand that the staff check in on the residents to make sure that they're OK, and to help them with their medications as needed."

"My sister moved to PruittHealth - Creekside. The staff is excellent, and I have not had any complaints with any of them. It's an older building that's been remodeled, and they're building new branches on the backside of it. The inside is excellent, and they keep the outside very clean, too. It's just not a beautiful building like some of the current facilities. My sister says there have only been one or two things that she thought were not great, but she says the food is always very well prepared. I have been there while she was eating and saw how nicely they do the plates. The value is good. They put her on Medicaid, and that has helped tremendously."

"My mother lived in the society for a little over a year prior to passing away a little over a week ago. I found the facility to always be clean and free of any funky smells and a staff that was both caring and compassionate, and their care for my mom! Above all my mother, really loved living here and developed several friendships among residents and staff. If you have a loved one that needs re-have our permanent living, please consider Stevens Park I had my mom on a waitlist for eight months and it was well worth it. In fact, I was so impressed with the facility that I am now volunteering."

"The Place at Dean's Bridge was where my dad stayed for over a year now. Everything was fine in the facility and it was very clean as well. The staff provided good care to the residents, and the food was decent enough. He loves it there. "

"This place was everything I could ask for in a place to put my mom. They went above and beyond while my mom was there for 3years. They have great staff and a clean facility. "

"My mother stayed at Harrington Park, where she's doing her rehab. They had a room come open and they kept her there. They just have a high quality of care. The people there are very nice and accommodating. She seems to like it. She said the food's delicious. They take good care of her. So, she has no problems. They're absolutely wonderful. I have not tried the food because of Covid, not anybody's allowed in there right now. So you can't really go, but she has no complaints, and she seems to be content and happy there. It looks very nice and clean. I have seen a room. I did go peek in a window, because you can't go in there, but I have seen a room, and it looks very well-kept, maintained, and clean. The cleanliness and the staff that are so friendly, it's just a very nice place. It is a little pricey, but I understand why, for the quality of care, and what she gets there, I think it's reasonable. It's incomparable with every other nursing home in Augustus."

"Staff is friendly and responsive. Smiles at the receptionist desk add light and joy. The activities coordinators, Ms. Elizabeth and Jamie, are always looking for ways to bring fun and excitement to the residents, offering a variety of social and mental skills, to the patients. I often hear them say how they enjoy going out on the van for lunch. The residents that attend Buble Study are a joy to have in class. Those who can participate, do join in. It is always a pleasure to hear a yes, Lord or an Amen. The location is great as it sits adjacent to Doctors Hospital, which I'm sure comes in real handy when immediate emergency care is needed. "

"My grandmother was placed in the Kentwood nursing home when I was 20 years old. Upon arriving to the nursing home I was not met with the smell of urine or a place that was dirty. There were fresh flowers in the lobby. The receptionist was very nice and welcoming. She asked if there was any help that we needed and directed us to the correct individual that could help. We then spoke with the nursing director because we wanted to know how my grandmother had been doing. We were glad to hear that she was doing well, she was getting along with the staff and other residents. Since it was our first time visiting we were given a tour and it was very clean. It also was close to lunch time so we were able to see the food that the residents were served. The food smelled great and looked delicious. Once we visited my grandmother's room I could tell that she was happy and enjoying living there. One thing that I had a problem with was that the CNA's were standing around. The rest of staff was on task though. "

"For the most part, the staff at Westwoods are caring individuals and seemingly have sincere concern for the residents. However, their staffing levels consistently seem to be only at the minimum required level or even below because of turnover.This creates a situation where staff members are stretched causing meals to be late, residents are left in bed for days and there is a consistent stench in the air of human waste. This is a management problem."

"This facililty is just great. From the administrator on down, everyone was helpful and friendly. The facility is clean and there is no odor either, If you need a place, pick this one."
