Brightwater Assisted Living in Myrtle Beach, SC
5.0

All prominent senior living communities have well-appointed housing options with a variety of health, wellness and entertainment programs. What makes Brightwater standout are its Move Coordinator and Mentoring Program. The Brightwater Move Coordinator works with you, your movers and Brightwater staff to make your move as stress free and worry free as possible. While there are plenty of paid staff, at Brightwater, to take care of your needs, what is unique and very meaningful, to newcomers, is the Resident Personal Mentoring Program. Your personal resident mentor introduces you to your new “family”. They have dinner with you. They may accompany you to social events or just “walk with you” as you begin to make your way through the next phase in your life. Your personal mentor is not paid to be nice to you, but chooses to help us newbies find our way around physically and emotionally. Brightwater walks the talk!

This is an older community but has undergone many upgrades. The Administrator went out of his way to transition my uncooperative mother. She now loves it and has many friends. She also can't wait to get back to her new "home" when we take her on outings. I am completely satisfied with the care and attention the staff pays to my mom and all of the other residents. They all go above and beyond to make life easy for us and are detail oriented. Keep up the good work!

It's sooo expensive, but maybe up to par either way others. Mom loves where she lives. She's made so many friends there. We also feel that she's safe and that's more important than anything.
