6 Independent Living Communities in Summerville, South Carolina

Rhonnie

I liked Royal Oaks. It was small and only had 50 beds total or a little bit more, and it was clean. The person during the visit was very helpful. She told me of the different activities they had, and they had outings. I checked the memory care and the assisted living, and the rooms were decent sized with bathrooms in each one.

Harmony at Wescott Plantation was very nice. It wasn't the nicest, but not because of the cleanliness, and it wasn't as new as some of the locations we visited, but it was still very clean. The staff was very friendly, they greeted the residents like friends, and you could tell they had a rapport with the residents because they asked about their family members. I saw a calendar of activities for the residents and there's quite a bit of effort and time that goes into organizing things to make sure the residents have things to do. I did not try the food, but I wasn't impressed with the menu; it seemed limited.

We selected Royal Oaks for my mother-in-law. The staff seemed very nice, the location was very good for the family, and they were a little more reasonable price-wise than the other locations. I really liked their marketing person, and the director seemed very down-to-earth and approachable. They have transportation and a lot of activities. The rooms were very nice, and I liked the garden area.

Presbyterian Village was wonderful. I’m familiar with the place because my mother was there, and they’re very friendly and informative. I’m going to get a house, and I liked it because you feel like you’re in a village instead of in a nursing home. They have arts and crafts, entertainment, planned trips if you want to take them, and exercises. They offer one meal included in my rent. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and very compassionate.

Glad to be Gone

The place is way over priced for what we got. The cleaning staff and the waitress and waiters are very nice but massively underpaid. Because of the low pay expect things will disappear from “Your Apartment” (You really don’t have your apartment, That is until the rent is due) they will just walk in without notice. Their Managers live on the property, but you will never see them. THEY PUT PROFITS ABOUT WE WHO LIVED THERE
