My mother lives there and we have had a great experience. She says it feels like a family. She feels the staff is friendly and accommodating to her. It is at a great location near the library and post office in the heart of the lawyer downtown of Port Royal with a coffee shop next door.

During the holiday season, I was worried my mom would be sad, but I couldn't have been more wrong! The programming and activities are excellent. Using all the decor from her home, we decorated her apartment. She has made friends with folks who are like family, and so have I. This is an excellent community, which I highly recommend.

October 17, 2024Thank you so much for your kind review, Angelika! We’re thrilled to hear that your brother-in-law is enjoying his new home at Helena Square and feeling right at ease. It’s wonderful to know that he’s made friends and is participating in outings—what a great way to settle in! We’re also happy the transition was smooth, and we’ll be sure to pass along your gratitude to the team. Thank you for trusting us to care for him, and we’re so glad he’s part of our community!
Helena Square was my first choice when trying to find a facility for my 105-year-old Mother. Mom has always been stubborn but after meeting with the staff at Helena Square they were so helpful to me and to Mom which made the whole transition a breeze. I have no doubt that Mom is well cared for every day of the week. Mom is a fairly new resident at Helena Square, but she has blossomed which I figured she would once she was around more of her peers as opposed to living at home and only having the TV, computer and dog for company. I couldn't have chosen a better place for Mom.

My father moved into Helena Square in April 2024. The team at Helena have consistently been friendly, caring and quick to take action or address any questions or requests. Dad has been able to participate in a few of the group activities. Additionally, the food variety and quality are consistently good.

September 24, 2024Hi William, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that your father’s experience at Helena Square has been positive since his recent move here. It’s wonderful to know that our team has been consistently friendly, caring, and responsive to his needs. We’re also glad he’s been able to enjoy some of the group activities and that the variety and quality of our dining options have met your expectations. If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
I was looking for a place for my mother and live 800 miles away. I worked with [name removed], the Dir of Sales and Marketing to understand the process and to help coordinate the transition. As I was unable to tour the facility, we did a virtual tour which was just what I needed. [name removed] went well above and beyond in helping me as I was unable to be there to receive furniture, packages as well as the day of move-in. She worked with my current caregivers and nurses with paperwork and understanding my mothers needs. When I was able to get to the facility I was extremely impressed with all the workers and the facility was even more charming then I had hoped. I highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a personalized, small but mighty facility that offers all amenities you can hope for. The location is perfectly situated in a beautiful small town where residents can walk to shops and restaurants. I am very happy, after looking at many facilities, that Helena Square was the final selection.

Helena Square is a wonderful, homelike environment for my father. He feels at home there and has made friends in the short time he has been there! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff consistently demonstrate professionalism, care, compassion, and attentiveness. The activities are thoughtfully organized and tailored to the residents’ individual interests and abilities. After dinner, many residents play games and socialize until bedtime. It’s wonderful to hear their laughter and see the friendships! One of the things we truly appreciate is the dining experience. The meals are delicious, and my dad has the opportunity to choose his entrees, which adds a personal touch to his care. If you're looking for a safe, friendly, and homelike assisted living facility for your loved one, I highly recommend Helena Square. It has brought us peace of mind knowing my dad is in such good hands.

My husband of 59 years was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I wanted the BEST care for him. BEST care included a place that would allow me to visit on a daily basis. BEST included a place with an expertise in his medical needs. BEST also included a place that would allow visits from Cookie ( his deeply loved dog). BEST would include good meals and some activity each day. I found the BEST OF THE BEST!! I found ALL of the above at Helena Square in Port Royal, SC. THANK YOU TO THE MANAGEMENT & STAFF AT HELENA SQUARE. You are deeply appreciated.

We picked this community because of , proximity to our home. I wanted to be able to visit Jim on a daily basis. Not only am I welcome to visit at any time; our loved pet dog [name removed] is also welcome to visit at any time.

October 12, 2023Hi Patty, We're delighted to hear that you chose our community due to its proximity to your home. It's wonderful that you feel welcome to visit Jim at any time, and we're thrilled that your dog is also welcome to join. Our goal is to create a warm and inclusive environment for our residents and their loved ones, including the furry members of the family. If you ever have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to your visits.
It's a pretty good place. They were very flexible, and the one place we found that allowed my loved one to have her dog. Their flexibility was the main reason we went there in comparison to other places. They do seem understaffed, so you don't always get immediate attention. But in general they do pretty well. It's an aging facility, so they've had some maintenance issues, but they do try to keep up with it, and it's kept very clean. The residents do a good job supporting each other, and there's a great sense of community.

Overall fair. One person, the med tech, on days is rude, unresponsive and not helpful at all. she should be fired or disciplined. The temp woman in charge is not good either. [unreadable] back. She was great.

March 29, 2022Thank you for sharing your feedback, although we are disappointed to hear this. Please contact our Enlivant Cares line at 1-888-777-4780 to elaborate on your experience. Thank you!
Our family had an in person tour with this community and it was the best first impression. It was such an awesome tour, but we were not able to choose it because they did not have the level of memory care we needed. If they did, it would of been our first choice. Everything and everyone was so happy, the place is very clean. The residents seemed so happy, clean and well cared for. The atmosphere just felt very happy.
I have lived here for 2 years and I love it. My only regret is that I didn't move in sooner. I can now focus on me and the staff takes care of all of my needs - food and meals, activities, snacks, transportation - everything! I wish I would have moved in years ago.

My family lives far away and I am able to maintain my independence by living at Helena Place. I didn't want to be a burden to my daughter so this place allows me to live away from them.

I live here and my mother lives in a separate apartment here. We both love it because we can't keep up with the responsibilities of maintaining a house. So we just focus on ourselves, participating in fun activities and living our lives to the fullest.
