Pinewood Place Goose Creek, SC

My mother is in Pinewood Place. We chose them because there are just 40 residents there, but the main thing was the personnel. They've been there for a while and it just felt more comfortable than some of the others that we went to. The cost was good, too. The food looked very good and they work with dietary concerns. My brother ate with mom and he didn't have any complaints about the food. I have not had a chance and I plan to eat with her this weekend. Her room was clean and redone. We're happy with it.

I did a tour of Pinewood Place. The staff was very friendly, and the residents looked very happy. I saw family members there, and they were pleased with the care that their family members were getting. The rooms were gracious and generous. The overall facility was very nice. We met the chef, and we were very impressed with his food choices and his offerings. There were studios. I witnessed bingo, which was amazing. They also had a prayer group going at the same time, and all the residents that were in attendance were engaged. Their activities coordinator is very engaged with keeping them occupied. They had four main common areas. They had a library, gym, beauty salon, and a craft activities room granted they only had 32 residents in total. It's a small community, but that's what we were looking for because we wanted her to have engagement with other people, and we didn't want her to get lost in the system. A senior citizen living on a pension and Social Security could easily afford this location, and they service the veterans. The chef was awesome; They went out of their way to make sure that they got food. That was impressive.

I went to Pinewood Place, and I liked it. They're coming out to evaluate my friend on Friday. It was very good. They were friendly and it was clean. The people seemed happy and the lady who I toured with was very nice. I didn't have any problems with it at all. I didn't try the food, but I saw it, and it looked good. I saw the chapel, rooms, and the courtyard. I think I saw almost everything. The rooms were clean and roomy. One of them had carpet, and that wasn't my thing because I just prefer not carpet. The other ones have luxury vinyl floors, which is what I would do. That was more like the premier room. The one-room I was interested in had granite countertops, and it had a nice view, which was the main reason why I was interested in it. You could see outside, and it had a double window. It was nice.

We toured Pinewood Place in Goose Creek and we thought that was outstanding. I loved everything about it. The place was fantastic and the people were fantastic. We were going to place mom there because we thought my dad was a veteran but were misinformed all our lives. It came down to financing, so when the financing came, Pinewood didn't take Medicaid and my dad was not approved for a VA so we had to cancel. It would have eaten her money out without some assistance. The staff was very caring, they were superb. They came out to the house to meet with my mom. They made her feel comfortable and they were just fantastic. They even stayed in contact with me on the phone. I thought it was the cleanest assisted living facility that we've seen. It felt like home and it was just impressive. The minute you walked through the door, it was impressive. It's also kind of centrally located from everything.

We toured Pinewood Place for my mom, and it was good. I like most of the little space they have, but what I didn't like about it is the price after I got there. I was told one fee, and then it was a totally different fee when I got there. It's too expensive for her. The place has a very good community lay out. The maintenance and the cleanliness of this community was average. There were activities on the board. They have bingo, some cornhole, movies, a manicure-pedicure, and a beauty shop.

I visited Pinewood Place. The staff was great. They showed us around and showed us into one of the rooms. It seemed like a very nice place. It didn't smell like some nursing homes, and I hate a place like that. I actually just casually stopped and talked to a couple of the people in there, and it seemed like they really liked it. The staff during the tour was very informative. It was a nice-looking facility. I know they had somebody to cut their hair, and they had different activities like gardening.

My mom moved into the Pinewood Place. They've been great, they've been wonderful about communication and appropriate care for her. Mary is the person I've been dealing with the most, and she has been amazing. She takes calls 24/7 and is in contact with me, any time that I need her, she communicates really well, she updates me with videos and pictures of my mom since I can't see her, or really go there right now. They're actually making accommodations for the fact that the residents can't leave or they can't have people come there, they're supplementing that with various themed activities like carnivals and movie nights, and things like that. It seems very clean, her room, like we were able to look through the window and the room.

We walked into Pinewood, and they were quick to receive us. And then, the residents were in different places like some were sitting and listening to one of the residents playing the piano, some were sitting and watching TV, some were in the little dining area, some were walking up and down the hall. It circles around, so it was not a dead end hallway. It did not smell like a nursing home. The only thing maybe they can improve on is a better ratio of nurses to residents.
