Legacy Village of Murrells Inlet

Susan

My mom will move into Legacy Village of Murrells Inlet. We chose them because we toured several, maybe five or six different places up there, and that one had a lot of staff. There are several different floor plans. We didn't choose the bottom of the line. We didn't choose the top of the line. We chose in the middle. We chose the plus one. It's going to work nicely. She's getting a double bed. She'll have a recliner. She has a dresser in her room. It's got a counter, sink, cabinet, and a place to put a coffee maker, and a small-sized refrigerator. There is an enormous closet. So, she has more closet space than she could ever use. There are lots of walls to hang pictures on. The bathroom is a great size. Plus, the bathroom that she has allows us the opportunity to put a large piece of furniture in the bathroom to use for storage for sheets or whatever other things that she needs. So, you can take a wardrobe and a dresser with you and utilize both of them at this facility. We're also going to get her a small table and two chairs. They've just gone under a remodel because they used to be the guardian, and two gentlemen are the new owners. They redid everything. Everything is new. Everything's up to date. From what I can see, it looks extremely clean. All the fixtures were up to date, as well as all the decorations and the home decor. It wasn't something that was maybe 10 or 20 years old. Everything was brand new. Everyone has been fantastic. They have one maintenance man, and as things were being delivered before she was even there, he started to put things together for her. They set up the TV. They put new bars in the shower. Dave is the maintenance man. He'll come and do everything for you.

My friend moved into St Gabriel of Murrells Inlet. It was convenient, and they were willing to take my friend because she's a memory care patient. It was in close proximity to where her family could reach her. The care from the nurses is outstanding. They were very attentive, very caring, and patient. When I was there, they did dine out and gave the residents pizza. They have workstations and games, and they take them on outings.

We're on a waiting list at St. Gabriel of Murrells Inlet. I visited both assisted living and memory care. The thing that I liked about it is that they're gonna let my mother stay in assisted living for the day, but at nighttime, she'll sleep with the memory care and that's what I liked. Everybody was very friendly and they seemed to be attentive to the residents. It was very nice and clean. They had quite a lot of things that she was interested in. It's only 10 miles away from me, and it would be near restaurants and not too far from a hospital.

My mother has moved into St. Gabriel of Murrells Inlet. She is starting to make the transition. I've been there several times. It looks like a hotel as opposed to an assisted living facility. very It's well decorated and nicely done. The dining area is spacious and very clean. The grounds are well maintained. You're just not looking at anything; it's just woods. There are three different sized rooms. She's in the second size, and it's very spacious. It has very, very high ceilings. Sometimes the acoustics are a problem. The sound seems to bounce around in the room quite a bit. She wears hearing aids, and it seems to not be real good with hearing aids. They have some really outstanding staff. You have some people that are not quite up to speed, but we're working on it. They have quite a few activities. They had a Mardi Gras party. They have bingo, karaoke, movies every night with popcorn, an extensive library, and a hair salon onsite. The food was very good.

My mother-in-law lives in St. Gabriel Murrells Inlet. It's a nice facility, the people are very nice there. The apartments are very small, and to me, it was more like a hotel room than an apartment. My mother-in-law has not given it great reviews on the food. I haven't tasted any of the food there, because when we go visit, we take her out to eat. She likes the activities, they have a movie room there, they have arts and crafts, which she enjoys. They also have games, so she plays bridge with other women, and she seems to enjoy that.

I took a tour of St. Gabriel of Murrells Inlet for my mom, and I was very impressed. I like the less of a hospital or doctor-like setting. Regarding the community layout, the first word that came to mind was safe. The staff member who assisted me on tour was wonderful. I got to see where the kitchen was and the menu. The dining room was clean. They have walking clubs, there was an arts and crafts room, and they had monthly projects.
