All of the staff members I met at Carolina Gardens at Laurens have been friendly and keep me posted on everything that's going on as we're trying to get my loved one in. They're getting her room ready. They have a menu that the residents get to choose from, so they don't always have to eat the same thing. They have a calendar of events and do exercise, crafts, singing, daily devotion, and on the 4th of July they had a cookout for the residents. The pricing is very reasonable. There's no hidden fee. The presentation of the food looked good.

My mother is in Carolina Gardens at Laurens. They give her her medicine, she has her meals, she has her bath, she's in a wheelchair, and they take care of her. The staff members have been fine. They help her get in bed and help her go to meals if she needs it. The grounds are nice. There's a patio back there with picnic tables, flowers and a swing, and it's nice. They have rocking chairs outside. The location is fine. She has a room with a bedroom and a bathroom, and it is clean and well-maintained. She plays Bingo and today she went to a birthday party for a resident.

The amenities at the Carolina Gardens were great and the staff was good. The only problem we're having with them is that our uncle had a stroke because he was a smoker. We brought him there because we needed a more supervised living facility, but we found out that his neighbor smokes, so my uncle smoked. They got 13 smoke breaks a day when he wasn't supposed to smoke. But overall, the nursing staff was great, PT is coming in now, and he was really enjoying the meals. They take the residents on outings, they do Bingo, and they have a little garden and a patio at the back that they can sit on. It's also good that they have a security method where nobody can get in or out without a security code, even the visitors. The rooms are not that big, but it's enough and they have their own bathroom.

The staff is nice. Overall place could use some painting & updating. They are mis-leading on telling the initial entrance price. They may tell you between $4,000-$5,000 but three weeks after our loved one was in AGAPE, price went up to $7,600. All Hospice patients should be together on same wing & close to station. Should be Hospice staff, CNA on all three shifts with a LPN giving medications to Hospice patients. Hospice should not be in with AGAPE. Hospice should be solely Hospice.

We visited Agape Senior Living. It was nicer than I expected. They have assisted living people on the second floor, so they can't escape. We were looking at the first floor that I didn't know existed, which was more independent living, and everything looked so nice. The people there were very nice. I've just had friends there. They thought it was kind of depressing. The charge is real misleading there, according to them. The staff was very nice. The rooms we saw were nice. They were maybe more social than I really realized.

Agape Senior is absolutely wonderful. It's governed by the Agape Foundation and they assist with the financial side of the care. The staff is great and they communicated well with me. I have been very, very pleased with the care that my aunt is getting. It makes all the difference in the world to know that there are real people out there.
