Everything is going well for my mother since her move to this community. She is doing well, and I'am pleased with all they have done for us. This community is working out pretty well for us, and it is a good place with kind people.

The Director and Staff are all amazing! My husband and I were super impressed with how much like home it feels. They decorate for all occasions making it even more inviting. Highly recommend and on a 5 star rating I give them a TEN!!!

Pee Dee Gardens in Florence, SC

We chose Pee Dee Gardens at the time because she had lived here once before many years ago and it was a good experience. She chose a small room and it fits her needs, they do have a variety of options as well based on your needs. It is a good facility and I would recommend.
