The Palms of Mt. Pleasant

Wonderful

Great staff. Very helpful and understanding of the needs of my parents and I.

Overall we are very pleased with how things have turned out with The Palms of Mount Pleasant. The people who work here are fantastic, and they were a huge help throughout the whole process. They really made the transition and intake process smooth and stress free. The other residents have also been very friendly and welcoming to my loved one.

My loved one is doing very well here! It is a nice looking, clean facility, and the staff are friendly and caring. The memory care unit here is very compact and focused, so she is getting the one on one care and attention that she needs. She seems to be doing much better here, and seems happier overall!

We're very pleased with The Palms of Mount Pleasant. We had a little rough patch initially, they promised to have a one bedroom open for Mom, and that ended up not being the case. They really bent over backwards to make up for it though, and she is first in line for the next one available, so that wasn't too big a concern. They really do a great job here overall, though! Mom is very happy here, and we're very happy to have her somewhere that she will be comfortable and safe!

We had done some traveling to a few other continuing care facilities and a lot of internet research for nearly a year before we decided on The Palms. We would not go for a large "buy in" so that made our search easier. We wanted to be near family if possible but most of our family was in or near places that are among the most costly in the country. Although we didn't expect the cost in an area to affect us on a day to day basis, we did see that cost reflected in monthly costs at facilities we checked. We wanted favorable climate (not north of the Mason Dixon) and a place within reach of cultural activities, colleges, beaches (even though we don't use them THAT much) , etc. It was almost a no brainer - Charleston, SC met our requirements. We have some family here and this area is very much in demand as a place to visit. There are quite a few facilities in or near here and we visited some. Prices were not greatly variable so that was almost a non factor. We chose The Palms because of the spirit we found here - staff and residents alike. We were much more comfortable and although Palms is a little older than some others, it has been characterized as an aging Southern belle - still lots going for it. We've not been disappointed in our choice at all. There is much within 10 minutes walking distance, though we don't feel that urban. Food has far exceeded our expectations - we found many delicious entrees served well in a dining room that is quite well kept. Activities, both within and outside The Palms, are many and varied. We've been to concerts both in Charleston and here in Mt Pleasant. Shopping in plentiful and varied in price and style. Everyone has different needs but for us, Palms meets them.

Welcoming, caring and attentive, the staff and other residents bent over backwards to make the transition easy for our 93 year old parents. We looked at several facilities but the Palms was the right choice. We particularly liked that all apartments and activities were under one roof, so there was no need to navigate sidewalks and roads to get around

This would have been my third choice. I saw peopel slumped over in wheelchairs, but I saw that in all of them. You're going to see that in Alzheimer's facilities because that's just how it is and the time of day you go is really going to change what you see. I went later on in the day so people were a little slower, but it was expected. This was very clean. The palms has got 3 levels, they have assisted living, memeory care and skilled nursing all in one facility, which is kinda nice. I kinda walked into the assisted living part and they took me to the memory care facility, but its a very nice place, I just don't think it left a lasting impression on me.

She is not sure how long it will run. In addition they have two complimentary guest rooms if Dad would like to stay overnight and experience the meals and activites etc.

We were given a great tour of the facility and grounds. We had a very elegant dining experience. We were served dinner and had a chance to dine with some of the residents and speak with some of the Staff. My Dad was quite impressed with this facility. We liked the fact that this Facility has Independent living, Assisted living and Long-term Care Units. This facility better suits our needs for Long-term Care planning. We like the fact that our dad will not have to be transfered to another facility if/when he becomes unable to care for himself.
