16 Assisted Living Communities in Lexington County, South Carolina

Upset Friends

Infested with bedbugs, my friend that resides here has bites all over arms, he says you can see them crawling up the walls, roaches and flies as well, filthy, needs to be reported for horrible living conditions. Horrific.

Carolina Gardens at West Columbia was very nice, but it wasn't appropriate for my mother because she required more care. It was bright and airy. Everybody in the dining room was very nice, talking and very active. The staff was very accommodating and answered my questions. The residents were walking around and talking. The facility was beautiful. Some of them had houses that looked like little patio homes with a little garden in the back. The rooms were like small suites with kitchenettes. The room on the first floor had a little balcony, and you could open the sliding door to go out.

Carolina Gardens at West Columbia was an older building, but they had a good bit of staff members there. The room was decent, but there was nothing spectacular about it. The dining area was clean. They had a beauty shop, a barber shop, and a garden area.

I really liked it. It just didn't seem like the room was going to be big enough for my mother. I didn't want it to seem like a hospital room. I wanted something that had a little more space. They have some bigger areas towards the front, but it was getting too expensive. It was very nice and I liked the people there. I just didn't like the room size. The staff, the food, and everything else seemed really great. It appealed to me.

The rooms were a little small, but other than that it was fine. The person who assisted me on the tour was very nice. The dining area was clean, homey, and spacious. They had a salon and craft area. It was sitting on a pond, so they had a walking area in the back where you could walk down to the pond. It didn't seem as spacious as some of the others. Most of the other ones you walk into were very open and had high ceilings; this one seemed more closed in.

We went to The Columbia Presbyterian Community. The lady who does the tours wasn't there, so we walked around ourselves. We had stopped by there to get some pricing, and it was a little out of our price range, so we didn't pursue it any further. The facility was very nice. They had a little of everything, activity rooms, and a nice, very large dining room area that was partitioned so they could open it up to do other activities. It was very nicely set up.

This is a lock down facility for people who have no money except SS. there are currently 33 people increasing to 35. 9 Women the rest men. NO male orderlies. 4 women share 1 bathroom. not a nice place. Staff is few as it is are very nice. Wish I could say the same as the Management.

Mom is scheduled to move to Oakleaf this month. Everybody there was friendly, they answered all the questions I had, it was very clean, and we were introduced to the housekeeping and dining staff. Everything I asked for I got during the interviews. We looked at a studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments. The rooms were small, but they were not selling space, they were selling care. I liked that they come by every morning to wake up the residents. That was important to me. They have scheduled games, craft classes, floral arrangement classes, and a general meeting area for those things. She'll know where to go when it's time for class. The rates are all inclusive.

I went to Oakleaf Village, and they did not have any openings. The staff was very informative. I knew everything that went on in there because I had booklets and everything, but I knew there was no opening, and I didn’t know where there would be an opening, so I didn’t pursue it any longer. It was very clean, and their price was comparable to all the other ones. It is a very big community. They have an Alzheimer's unit and the regular assisted living type.
