Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Dorchester County, SC
Oaks at Salem Road in Beaufort, SC
4.9

So impressed with all the staff, their kindness and professionalism. They are so positive and really understand what their clients are experiencing. I can pick up the phone to call and talk to [name removed] and it doesn't matter which one answers. My parents are happy and we are at rest knowing they are in excellent hands. Just wish we could clone them and set up in St Louis for another loved one of mine.

Dayspring Assisted Living in Hollywood, SC
4.4

The caregivers at Dayspring were one of the reasons we chose this community. They are wonderful and very good with the residents. This is a smaller community so the ratio of caregivers to residents is higher. They could use a few more activities. The food is good and they keep the community very clean. This community gets my recommendation.
