We looked at Somerby of Mount Pleasant. I've seen it in person, and I did the virtual, but I thought the amenities were a lot better at the other place. I wasn't impressed with the staff; they weren't friendly. The facility was very clean, and well kept. As far as the facility, I would give it a very good rating, as far as presenting itself; it all looked well cared for. The staff members weren't quite as friendly, and there didn't seem to be as many staff members.

My mother stayed at Somerby of Mount Pleasant assisted living facility. They were great, and they had plenty of staff. The food was above average and her room was a five out of five. Everything was really nice. The apartments had kitchenettes. They kept everybody active, and they had a variety of activities. They had a hair salon, a pool, and a rehab unit.

My husband is moving to Somerby of Mount Pleasant on Monday. It was very clean, and they seemed to have a very caring atmosphere. The staff was great and very accommodating. The rooms are adequate. You can have a regular room, or you can get a deluxe room which has a few more feet and you can get a little more furniture in there.

Somerby had a separate facility for assisted living. The staff was very efficient and polite. The residents I talked to seemed very upbeat and polite.

At Somerby of Mount Pleasant, the staff was very informative and took plenty of time to answer our questions. They took us through some rooms, which were wonderful. I was able to speak with different people and got their opinion of the place. One lady spent time with us to tell me how wonderful the place was to her.

We made a trip to South Carolina to Somerby; we were very pleased, and we liked it very much. The staff was all very polite and accommodating. We ate dinner there, and it was excellent. What we saw we liked very much. They were very spacious and well-landscaped, and we liked the color combinations. Everything was very neat and clean. It was a safe, well-maintained environment, and the people were very courteous. The community was attractive looking.

My in-laws are in Somerby, and I am very happy with them. The food was very good. They do exercise and take them out to places. They are accommodating and friendly. They are happy and comfortable. I thought it was really nice and well-maintained. I would absolutely recommend the place.

I didn't like that place. They had a lot of old people. It was setup as a convalescent home. Then they started opening up rooms for more people with more problems. I didn't stay there very long to know the staff. I just walked into the place and kind of decided it wasn't for me.

I wanted to mention that I was at the memory care unit in Mount Pleasant, SC on
Saturday, September 20, 2014.
While I was there visiting my father, Clayton, I experienced a horrific seizure.
Because of the quick work of the attendants, I was rushed to MUSC hospital where
I completely recovered. Thank you to the Somerby staff for helping me and for
taking good care of my father.

Somerby of Mount Pleasant is beautiful and it is clean. I didn't taste the food or anything, but the restaurant looked nice. They have a nice pool. I liked the idea of the cottages, which were kind of outside the apartments and the assisted living. They had these cottages around the property that you can live in, and although they are more independent, you can still have access to services. So I went and showed that to my parents, and they liked that option better than the apartments.

I was very happy that when my husband and I got ready to leave after we visited Somerby, we felt like it was more like a spa. It was so put together and clean. They have a lot of activities that I know would interest my parents. I think it would keep them very busy -- if they wanted to be busy with socials. They have everything that they would need.
I think that the rooms are set up very well especially for my folk’s ages, everything from the call button on up. They like to know when my folks would come and go. It just lets me know that they care enough to know their whereabouts. We really thought it was a top notch place. That would be my first choice.

My sister has been a resident about nine months. She was in independent living until three weeks ago, when she moved into assisted living. She has always enjoyed the meals and recently mentioned that the staff members are all very nice. I find the range of services excellent - more extensive than she is inclined to ask for. I have peace of mind that my sister has the care she needs and sufficient opportunity to form relationships with the other residents. My family and I have.

I am a big fan of Somerby and I believe that they take A+ care of my mom. The facility is nice with good dining facilities, exercise rooms, on site Health Care services for the occasional times when my mom needed a little extra help. The apartment is roomy and comfortable. Somerby also offers endless services for its residents including by not limited to shuttles to her doctors, shopping and other entertainment things. The facility also is organized so that I get all the calls and management issues and alerts seamlessly. Next of my “like” list are the friends that she has there to encourage her to get out and exercise. And if the above wasn’t enough, my staff experiences have all be friendly, nice and helpful.
Bottom line for me is that I am far away but know that she is in good hands.

I toured Somerby of Mount Pleasant in person. I saw all the activities, and I was overly impressed. They have an arts class, a movie class, an indoor, heated pool, weight room, and they have a PT onsite. The staff was very nice, and we had an actual tour guide. It was also very clean.

The staff at Somerby of Mount Pleasant is very good. We have a very good relationship. My mother seems to be one of the popular residents, there seem to be always someone around, and she is well taken care of. They are just really very expensive. It is very convenient for us; we are about 5-minutes from there. They seem to be very active with the residents, taking them to different places and stuff like that.

I toured Somerby of Mount Pleasant. It was lovely; however, it was very costly for me, and I don't think we could keep it up. The food was very good. I thought it was a very nice place. The people all seemed lovely. I would recommend this community. However, they did not have assisted living available, only independent living. The staff seemed very nice. I was in a group for tour, so we had lunch there together and saw a presentation. It was very informative and nice.

Somerby was very nice. The rooms were very nice, and we saw the independent villas, which are what we want. The facilities, decor and the whole layout were excellent. The personnel was very nice, very gracious, and explained everything. I thought it's a good value for what you’re getting. The food was good.

We prefer the villas of Somerby because it is more like where we live now, and it would be more like independent living, but we would only get one meal. So we've been talking about if we would go there, we would probably do an apartment where we would get two meals a day. But we liked the villas very much. The apartments were very nice, but the balconies were way too small, and my husband is an outside guy, which was one of the deterrents. People were very friendly, it seemed to be very well-run, and there were lots of interesting activities for seniors. It was well located near grocery shopping and other shopping. We haven’t decided to move there yet. It doesn’t meet all of our needs yet, but we liked it the best of what we saw and what we could afford.

I've been to Somerby before. Everything was nice about it. For me, it was just the distance. It's a beautiful facility though. The staff was wonderful. When I went there, my mother was independent, and independent is entirely different. They had artwork. They seemed to have a lot going on. I was impressed with what I saw.

Somerby of Mount Pleasant was very nice, clean, and pretty. They were very polite, thorough, and showed us everything. They had lots of activities. We really liked it, but it was pretty expensive. They had just about anything you wanted. You could have two bedrooms, and they're all different sizes to choose from. They take you to places. The dining room was very nice. The building was very beautiful and like a home.

I'm doing legwork for my 80 something year old folks with hope that they can move closer to us from another state and in to a retirement community. I have toured Somerby of Mount Pleasant, eaten in their wonderful, upscale restaurant style dining room, met and talked to other residents that live there, and now enjoy telling everyone about all of the amenities that will keep my folks young and active with a little, or a lot of, aide as needed while living there. While I continue to gather information from Caring.com through emails, and attend seminars offered by Somerby like how to qualify my 87 year old Dad for VA Benefits to live there, I am also learning a multitude of things from Caring.com about how to talk to my folks about all they will face when they are ready to move. Caring.com emails timely and useful information for me, the daughter, to be able to Segway in to conversations with my folks about all they may need to think about. We don't have a move date but we will all be fully informed to make the best decisions possible with them.
