The Colonnade at West Ashley

Christine

I was impressed. The memory care section was very clean. The people seemed to be relatively happy. The apartments were sufficient and seemed very clean too. It was very nice. The staff seemed very knowledgeable and very, very nice as well. They had bird feeders, benches, and a lot of plants. It was very comfortable and had a very nice outdoor area. They had menus that had several different choices. The people got to choose, and the food sounded very tasty.

We were very impressed. The only drawback was that I enjoyed the assisted living more than the memory part of it, and I realized they're connected. I just felt that they isolated them more in the memory part, maybe that's what they felt they had to do. The staff was very friendly, and very helpful, and certainly gave us a wonderful tour all through both parts. I felt that the rooms were not as available, and they were unfurnished. We walked through the amenities, but it was more difficult to observe it in the memory part. They had a courtyard. The facility was very clean and very well-established, and the people were very friendly. At that time, they were still eating separately, and only one person at a table, but I'm sure they're more open now than they were before.

My mother moved in and she's doing great. It's like a home, and it has that homey feel to it. Their staff is good and very professional, very loving and caring. Their activities person is excellent. I love the place.

The thing that attracts me most is the staff. They are very good and caring. They take them on the bus to lunch as a group if they want to go, and sometimes musicians would come in and play. It’s a little bit smaller and older, but it's still a nice facility.

It is very bright and energetic. Staff was in-tune to the residents. The rooms were a little small but seemed to be in good shape.

It is very nice, very caring, and very clean, and they do a fantastic job. I absolutely do not have any complaints. The staff members are all wonderful people who've been extremely helpful. The rooms are very clean and nice. The food is extremely good and well planned out, and they have a very good chef. The dining area is very clean and looks like a restaurant.

I visited and really liked it because it was a very nice, very friendly, and clean facility. Everything was great. I only have good things to say about it. The staff I met was very friendly, very nice, and very educated. I think the facility needs to have a two-bedroom option, but that’s just my opinion.

I thought it was a reliable option for me because it appeared clean, and it's close to my place. The person we talked with was very informative and friendly.

It was very nice and the person who gave us the tour was very helpful. I was impressed with the rooms; they are not very big but they’re of good size. Everything was clean. They were doing some kind of arts and crafts when I visited the place. It was comfortable and kind of made me feel at home.

It was very nice, everybody was very friendly, and it looked like they had a lot of activities. They have an activity board to tell you what's going on, they had a little crafts, painting, and chair exercises. It was a good experience.

It was a nice place. They have a dining facility. It is a big place. The rooms were OK, but a bit small. I am looking for five years down the road. I wasn't looking to move in immediately. They have a lot of game rooms, television, and sing-a-longs. I recommend they go around and look at them.

It was very nice, but they did not have a room available. The staff was very nice, helpful, and informative. The rooms were a bit smaller, though. They have a memory care facility, which was what I wanted.

I visited. We didn't choose this one because it was farther away from us to visit for one thing and then we have to cross some major bridge, so if there was a storm or something, that might be a problem. The place and their rooms were fine. Overall, the facility was probably recommendable. Regarding the staff, I didn't really get to know them that well.

It is a very nice facility. My mom has been there since end of April. They have different levels of care and she's in the memory care area. She loves the staff and they all love her. Her room is a bit bigger, but it is still nice. The facility doesn't smell bad and that was the first thing that attracted us.
