The Carolinian in Florence, SC
4.0 / 5.0

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.

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.
