Outstanding Staff!!!

My mom moved into LaurelHurst in [date removed]and just recently transitioned to LaurelWoods. All the staff from the very start have been amazing! Both facilities are full of caring people who have gone above and beyond to give great care and compassion to my mom. The staff is what has made LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods the right choice for us! I am so thankful for the incredible staff at both locations that have stood in gap for my mom and gave her the care she needs that we can not provide.

Amazing staff and amenities

My husband and I moved to Landrum, SC and needed to find a place for my 92 year old Mother-in-Law. After contacting every Senior Living community in the area that offered both Independent living and assisted living, we knew LaurelHurst/LaurelWoods was the right place for her. [name removed] is a true angel! She was so attentive to our needs and stayed in constant communication with us. The unit has been beautifully updated and all the amenities offered are exactly what we were hoping for. The rest of the staff has been amazing as well! My MIL is so happy and feels so welcome here!

A warm, welcoming place

Although my loved one was unable to move here because she unexpectedly needed skilled nursing care, I was very impressed with how warm and welcoming LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods were. The apartments we toured in independent living were modern, well appointed and inviting. The assisted living area had the friendliest, most upbeat vibe of any I had ever visited and the memory care area felt very homelike and peaceful. The residents we encountered throughout seemed genuinely happy and content. My husband and I got to dine with the independent living residents and the food we had was very good. All of the team members we met were helpful and courteous. The Sales Director was exceptional and did a great job of helping us explore options to meet the individual needs of our loved one, all the while doing so with warmth and compassion.

Wonderful Staff and Living Environment

From the first contact through moving in and now having my dad living there, the entire staff have been so very helpful, courteous, friendly, professional, informative and pleasant! My dad has never really lived on his own or had to take care of himself and I feel that at Laurel Hurst we are setting him up for success, surrounding him with helpful, caring people and a clean, safe, attractive envirnoment. My dad says the meals are wonderful, the staff is so very nice to him, the other residents are interesting to talk with, and his space is quiet! His apartment was newly renovated and is so clean and inviting. He is enjoying this new, independent chapter of his life! And that, makes ME feel GREAT!!

LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods is such a phenomenal community, we would recommend them to anybody and could not recommend anything higher. It is an amazing place where the entire environment just feels like home. It isn't stuffy it is not pretentious in anyway, it really is just so comfortable. The staff members go above and beyond their daily responsibilities to actually get to know the residents and their families and on personal level. The value is incredible, it is just amazing and everything is just done right.

Tour experience

LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods is a great facility. The staff were all friendly, well trained, and engaged with the residents. The apartments in independent living were huge and the facility overall just seemed well cared for. The value for the money was great as well for the area.

My first experience

This is a small and nice community. I still have issues getting my reimbursement for forms for long term care. There was a lot of theft at this community and also a lot of turn over with the employees. The reason we took my loved one out is due to her being more high functioning than the people that surrounded her.

My Review

Along with dementia, my mother also has aphasia (which essentially means she has lost her ability to communicate). It's heartbreaking, but now that she's at Laurelhurst Laurelwoods, I have seen her socializing with people again. She seems happier and I know she's safe. The staff have been nothing but kind and supportive. I'm so happy she has a place in their memory care.

My Review

My loved one lives in this community. In fact now that she has lived there a while, MANY of my loved ones live in the community because that is what it is, a community of people who accept and love one another as an extended family. We have grown to know other residents and staff and consider this to be a residence full of our loved ones. My review is that the accommodation is up to date, soothing in colors and decor, welcoming with ample sunlight and green space, clean and beyond that, very pretty. The accommodations are homes that the people who live there can be proud to say are theirs. The mood set by the brick and mortar space says home and does not give any type of institutional feel. Far more important than the building though, is the people. The staff, the food, the care, the grounds, the help with repairs and cleaning and the activities and operations, are all done with the best efforts and intentions. Even when there are glitches, the care put into working toward a solution is evident and with every intention of finding resolution no matter how long it takes. I believe that the community at Laurelhurst and Laurelwoods, made up of the residents, the families of those who live there, and the staff (who are much more than employees and are part of the life there), is an example of a saying I'd like to alter. "It takes a village to raise a child" is something we've all heard often. Its rather limiting isn't it? The bigger picture is it takes a community to thrive in life and with our mom living in this community, I am happy to say she is thriving even with the challenges that come along as we age.

Be careful, and have your eyes open when you get there.

The facility is very nice, and their maintenance of it is adequate. The staff is nice, but they are very inadequately staffed. My complaint was with their poor care of my loved one, and I would not recommend them. They did not have nearly the number of personnel they needed to care for all their residents. When your loved one can't feed themselves, get dressed by themselves, go to the bathroom by themselves, that's not a good situation. They really need to have patients who can do for themselves, and my loved one could not. They accepted him into the facility, and I don't feel like they ever should have with the amount of care that he needed. He declined every day that he was there. And they were not helpful in those last days, even though they said they would be. They were the professionals, and they never even mentioned or recommended hospice, which could have eased those last days. Because of that, it was a terrible ending to his life. He had a couple of very painful bedsores at the end. We had problems with them with long term care insurance. It was just a very bitter experience.

Compassion and caring

We chose LaurelHurst & LaurelWoods because it was during covid and they allowed us to do an in person visit. We fell in love with the staff. We felt they had so much compassion for their memory care residents. They do offer private and shared rooms but my mom is in a private room and it is plenty of space for what she needs. It is very convenient to the hospital if needed and it is just a great place with awesome people. I would recommend to others looking.

Would Definitely Recommend

I think my loved one has adjusted pretty well to being here, and he has been pleased. That's the main thing we were concerned about. Overall, our experience has been excellent. The staff have been responsive to any issues we've brought to them, including concerns about the food. Meals have been a bit up and down. Perhaps sometimes there's a different chef? Occasionally the meals, especially the meat, have been too tough for him to eat. But some days, the food has been very good. I know he's not a picky eater, which tells me there's something going on. There haven't been a lot of activities, and he's not a real joiner anyway. But I think after Covid has gone, things should pick up. They keep the place very clean. Someone comes in every Friday morning and cleans my loved one's apartment, and he's been happy with that. When I come to visit, I haven't seen anything that indicates they're not on top of their cleaning schedule.
