The Blake at Baxter Village in Fort Mill, SC
4.9

I love The Blake!! It's an excellent facility and my parents are adjusting nicely to living in their independent care cottage which is simply beautiful. Yes I would tell a friend.

The Dorchester South in Pineville, NC
4.5

The food options, the activities and the safety the community provides is something we likes most about The Dorchester South community. For activities they have different outings every week as well as party and get togethers. Based on our experience so far, we would recommend the community to other families.

Providence Meadows in Charlotte, NC
5.0

Providence meadows has been a great place for my dad and stepmother. Comfortable, clean, beautiful grounds, 3 meals a day and easy monthly rent. Their apartments have nice patios with woodsy views and very quiet. The staff have all been exceptionally helpful and personal. They get to know the residents and have been integral in helping me to help my dad. I highly recommend Prov Meadows if you’re searching for a safe place for your family.
