Nursing Home Communities in Summerville, SC

"My sister-in-law is in White Oak of Charleston, a nursing home facility. The place is very clean and very nice. The staff is also very good. They help her with taking her baths and showers, and they make sure she always has clean diapers. They also make sure the room is clean. As far as I know, the food is good, and she likes it."

"There was nothing I disliked about Life Care Center of Charleston. It was fine. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. The rehab was good. They took care of my mother. She went basically from rehab to long-term hospice. She only stayed there a week and everything was exactly what it was supposed to be. They were very attentive. They did what they were supposed to do. She was in a double occupancy when she was in rehab and her roommate seemed to be eating her food, and my mom would eat hers when she was hungry, but a lot of times, she wasn't because she was going through the process. They offered rehab equipment. It looks like they have buses to take people out if they want to go out to shop and stuff like that or do some sort of activities. They had an area where they did rehab, but I didn't see anything else. You get what you pay for. Compared to the going rate in the area, it's about the average for the going rate for long-term care. It was good. It was very convenient. A hospital was a block away, so if there was any emergency that needed to be taken care of, they were there in no time. The location was great. There are restaurants and stuff around there."

"I stayed at Heartland for some therapy and nursing. The food was great, the room was clean, and my nurse Kristen was so friendly! Maggie is a good listener and leads a professional, highly trained therapy team. Maranda, Anna Blair, Sam, and Caitlin were all so nice and really helped get me up and moving again!"

"My husband is a resident of NHC Healthcare, Charleston. They're very helpful. They're very sweet. I consider the environment very nice. They do come when someone rings for them, and they help. They're seriously doing their job and they're very nice to the patients. The personalities they have, I think it's very important to a patient and even to the family because you don't feel like they have to help that person, it sounds like they're glad to do it. They take care of the room very well. It's very neat. There's no stuff lying around or dirt on the floor. They come in every day and clean, change his bed sheets, and help my husband get his clothes changed, bathe, and things like that. They're very good about all that. My husband likes the food occasionally. They serve something that he is not crazy about, he didn't eat that at home, so he's not going to eat it somewhere else. For the value, that's very expensive, but everybody's in that same category."

"I thought the place was smelly and depressing, but the caretakers were friendly and did their best to make my grandmother feel as at home as possible. The facilities were well-kept and there was even a garden courtyard. Magnolia Manor has sinced changed its name and ownership several times "

"My dad was a resident of Heartland of West Ashley Rehab and Nursing Center, and they did a fairly good job. He was there for rehab for a while. Their staff is okay. It's an older community, but it's kept up okay. He's in a private room there although they also have shared ones."

"Great facility & staff!! Love the improvements & Renovations over the last year. Facility smells fresh! Friendly staff. It seems to me the patients are happy here. Fun activities and community projects. "

"We have chosen Wellmore of Daniel Island for my mother-in-law. Well, she's from Daniel Island, and she's familiar with the area. She's still able to get around a little bit, and so we figured it wouldn't be a drastic change. Her friends could visit her; that's the main reason. It's also a very nice-looking facility. The staff was very friendly. Everybody introduced themselves as we walked through. They seemed very professional, and positive. My mother-in-law hasn't moved in yet. She'll be moving in next week. Wellmore of Daniel Island was excellent as far as physical condition. The dining room, the swimming pool, the TV room, the quiet room, and the sitting room were all well manicured, and clean. The staff was very friendly, and very helpful. Other than it being a little more expensive than the rest, I have no complaints about it. I think it's a fine facility. I was more impressed with the staff than the building, that's how good the staff presented themselves. The facility is only two years old."

"My mother is currently at this facility in the Angel Oak area. This place is dismal at best. No dining room, residents/patients eat in the common area. The food I saw looked terrible, very low quality. There is a menu posted with food choices but did not see any of the servers ask what anyone would like to eat. The servers didn't even wear gloves. It's very noisy, mostly from the nurses aids that I found to be extremely inattantive and spent the majority of their time talking amongst themselves and/or playing music on their phones. One day there were 3 of them at the center desk filling out their LOTTO tickets!!! Most walk around looking at their phones. Saw almost NO intereaction with the residents. The rooms are TINY but easonably clean. The ONLY possitive was the physical therapist, he was great! Really showed a genuine interest in getting my mother more mobile. Check the states review of this facility, there were many issues that were reported in 2018. My opinion, stay away from this place. I am currently working on getting my mother moved to another facility ASAP. "

"My mother, who is currently 90, Moved to a Senior Independent Living Apartment at The Palms in December of 2020. She is so happy there. She really enjoys the activities, especially Bingo, Happy Hour, and Movies. She always tells me the food is delicious, and really enjoys socializing with other Residents. She has said to me many times how safe she feels at The Palms. The staff are very friendly and helpful. One recent example is when visiting earlier this week, I noticed her AC didn't seem to be cooling properly. We mentioned it to the front desk staff, and within a very short time, someone came to check it out and her AC was repaired promptly along with follow up checks to be sure it was still working properly. The Maintenance Director kept me informed of of what they were doing to help every step of the way. The Executive Director is also consistently very caring and helpful in answering any questions, and keeping Residents and Family informed. The environment is welcoming with lovely fresh flowers all around, and the beautiful outdoor Courtyard is a real plus!"

"I visited my mother-in-law and my husband. My mother-in-law just passed away last night. They were very, very cooperative in letting the family in a safe, Covid-free environment with protection following safety guidelines and in PPE just to say our goodbyes. She has been there for several years, and my husband has been there for months now, and they have done a wonderful job for caring for the needs of both my mother-in-law, and my husband."

"Choosing a long term nursing care facility for a family member is a task most people hope they never face. But after our family member suffered a severe brain injury, we knew she needed around the clock nursing care as well as management of her diabetes. Having volunteered at MPM some years ago, I had an inside view of the love and care the event coordinators and staff had for the residents. And I am grateful that when our need arose, MPM had an opening for our family member. There are not enough words of gratitude from us for the wonderful way that the Gold Wing memory care nursing team takes care of our loved one. And it is a team - - the nurses, the dietitians, the physical therapists, the activities director, the case coordinator, the finance team, and others, headed up by Bruce White, the facilities administrator - - all show a dedication to excellence and personalized care for our loved one. To them our family member is not just a number or a "resident"; she is an individual that is known, cared for and loved. And for that, we thank God. And we thank the wonderful staff-family of Mt. Pleasant Manor."

"I toured Veterans Victory House. I was very impressed with the staff giving me a tour of the facility. It was clean and neat. The staff was friendly, but they didn't have any beds available. They do have some private rooms, but they don't come out very often. They don't have very many of those. Their shared rooms were very nice. I thought the facility was so nice and everything looked nice, and a lot going on for the veterans. They had Sunday schools and church, meetings, Bible studies, activities, and card games. They took the residents out to ball games. They had food choices there. Even some of it for the ones that were able could have a buffet choice. I was impressed with it."
