Sumter Grove Senior Living
5.0

Sumter Grove gets 5 plus stars for everything. The quality of the serve and care is exceptional. My mother is absolutely thriving here. The quality of the staff members is exceptional, they are all caring and very knowledgeable in elderly care. When you walk into, you know right away that this is a happy place to be. I would most definitely recommend Sumter Grove Senior Living to others!

Wildewood Downs Retirement Community in Columbia, SC
4.5

My association with Wildewood Downs began when my mother came in 2004 to live in a spacious two bedroom apartment and later in assisted living. She loved it here for seven years. It could be said that I am a cheerleader for Wildewood Downs. Starting with the wonderful people creating a family-like atmosphere, to the superior leadership and staff that provides an active social and fitness calendar, one can find something of interest to do. Before I moved to Wildewood Downs, I was in rehab here twice and had an excellent experience. Wildewood Downs has been my home since March of 2016. I live in Independent Living and have a duplex with two car garage and screened porch. My husband was with me when we moved here. We had wonderful time until his passing in July, 2017. I only mention this to point out that the community here is so helpful and supportive during a time of loss. I am a strong believer in the benefits to the emotional and mental sharpness of seniors living in a senior community. I have never regretted moving here. I love it.

Mill Creek Manor in Columbia, SC
4.5

My experience with Mill Creek Manor has been largely positive. From the moment we first visited, the warmth and professionalism of the one particular staff was evident. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable living environment for its residents. Strengths: Compassionate Staff: The caregivers at Mill Creek Manor are genuinely kind and attentive. One standout is Von, RCA. Her dedication to creating a vibrant and engaging environment for the residents is remarkable. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels included and motivated to participate in activities. Her enthusiasm and personal touch have made a noticeable difference in the quality of life for many residents.
