Recent reviews of Independent Living in Great Branch, SC
The Place at Shadow Oaks in Aiken, SC
5.0

We were very pleased with The Place at Shadow Oaks... My brother seemed to be comfortable there and was well taken care of. He has very limited funds ...therefore we can’t use them frequently. But it is wonderful though to be offered respite for short term care.

My Dad was there for such a short time we did not get very acquainted with the staff. Those we did interact with were very friendly and helpful.

Fairforest Grove Senior Living in Columbia, SC
5.0

What we like the most about Fairforest Grove is the friendly staff who appear to know our loved one and recognize us each time we visit; appears to be taking care of our loved one; cleanliness; different activities offered. Price went up which may be a challenge.
