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.

We have chosen St. Gabriel of Murrells Inlet for my mother. I really like the place. It was very clean. The people seemed happy there. It's also right at the end of my street, and that is a big factor. The staff who assisted us were very friendly and very knowledgeable. The community was very nice, very beautiful, very clean, and very bright. I was able to see their dining area. People were eating lunch when I had gone there, and they seemed to be OK and eating the food. I really didn't see any activities because they were eating. They showed me the places for activities, and I met the activities director. I was impressed with the place. They had a pretty garden area. They're pretty expensive, so it's going to be tight trying to keep her there. They go up every year. There are a few I looked at and they cap it at a certain amount, but St. Gabriel doesn't do that. The rooms were very, very nice, large and seemed clean.

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.

The people at St Gabriel of Murrells Inlet are very friendly and helpful. They actually went over to my uncle's house and helped select stuff that he needed to bring to his room. He's already there and he seemed to like the place. He liked the way it looked and that it has a library; he enjoys that. My aunt thinks that they're very helpful, and they keep in contact with her. They let her know what's going on. We're very happy with them, even though it's a little pricier than some of the other places we looked at. Because it looked nicer and the staff was friendlier, it's a good value for the money.

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.

My sister moved into St Gabriel of Murrells Inlet. I wasn't overwhelmed with the administration, they were extremely helpful, communicative, and everyone there was just terrific. The accommodations were good. It was very nice, there wasn't a huge amount of rooms, they had availability on the first floor, so she didn't have to ride the elevator which she doesn't like, it was in close proximity to most everything anybody would need, and the layout was accessible and comfortable. They had the amenities that were needed for her like the dining room, the library, and the beauty parlor. It was laid out nice, it didn't look like a nursing home. The staff was excellent, my sister loves them, they check on her all the time, they take care of her and make sure she has what she needs, and they're just very attentive, very nice, cooperative, and they're just terrific. I know they did have bingo, they had movies, and all of that. Her room is nice size, she has a double bed, she has room for a queen in there, she has a love seat, a recliner, TV, she has a little kitchenette area where there's a microwave, a refrigerator, and a counter with a sink. She has a walk-in closet, a nice handicap-type bathroom, and she's on the first floor, so she has two huge windows. I can go to see her, I can sit outside her window, and talk to her on the phone, so I can visually see her. She said the food is wonderful, they have a chef there, and they check to make sure that there's a special the chef can make for them. She said the food is delicious, and the administrator there is wonderful.

St. Gabriel Murrells Inlet is brand new; they weren't open very long. They gave my mother the pamphlets and everything and that's where she decided to go. It used to be Thrive. Our experience has been fairly good. They've been very accommodating and there are not too many problems. Anything you ask, it's basically done. The staff has been pretty good. The food could be much better. The dining area is roomy. There's only maybe about 70 people in there right now. It's very, very clean. Right now, they've not been having a lot of activities because of the virus. They have transportation, but I take my mother to the doctors. We're not under any of their care there basically. She has her own physicians I take her to. The facilities are excellent, but they're quite expensive.

It just has the assisted living and memory care. Even if you went in as assisted living, you would still be with all the other people too. You would be sharing the dining room and so on. The people seemed to be happy, and I noticed that. The rooms were more like studios. The staff who assisted me was fine, and they spent a lot of time with me. I remember seeing a game room there with people playing bridge. It's new, very pretty and clean, and it's nice. I did have a meal there as well and I would rate the food a three. It's very nice, but I didnt want to be in assisted living, and many of the residents were in pretty bad shape.

It is a beautiful, brand-new community. Everybody is very friendly and very helpful. The dining setup is impeccable. Everything is very clean. However, my friend is not there anymore because he did not like it there.

The community was very nice, but I didn't like the rooms, which were a room and a bathroom. The staff was very nice and helpul. They had different activities scheduled every week, but they didn't have much grounds, and it was on a fairly busy highway.

It was a beautiful, brand-new, state-of-the-art facility. The staff was very nice and very personable, and everybody was wonderful. It was very close to my home. I would live there.

I visited this facility
I was not as impressed with St. Gabriel of Murrells Inlet. The residents didn't look quite as happy. I guess the staff wasn't quite as attentive as I would like to see. The residents were in the hallways asking to go someplace, and the staff was kind of ignoring them. The place was fancy and nice, but I wasn't as impressed with the dining rooms and things. The dining room was on the smaller side. Their overall knowledge wasn't as good. I had some questions that I needed answers on, i.e., about their feeding; if my mother would even be able to go there because she needed to be fed, and they were kind of scrambling, and they didn't have an answer. I didn't really want to waste my time or theirs going on a tour if they wouldn't even accept her. It was pretty clear within a few minutes of being there that it just wasn't the right fit for my mom. I didn't see a whole lot of other extras. The grounds were small. It's not really a campus like the other one we visited.
