The Legacy of Lexington
3.6 / 5.0

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.

Brookdale Columbia
4.9 / 5.0

I chose the community due to close to my home and the staff was welcoming. The cost was reasonable for my Dads needs now and in the future along with the cleanness.

Pines Columbia in West Columbia, SC
5.0 / 5.0

My dad passed away in August. The Pines was wonderful to him. Very caring kind staff. They were always well staffed, we never felt like they were short handed. The staff really tries to grant all requests no matter how big or small. The public bathroom could be updated/repaired to have a more clean feel for guests.
