Good care for mom
I am happy with the care from this community. The staff is caring. This is a clean community and we like that they have a patio in her room that she does enjoy. The menu is appealing and we like the cleanliness of the community. They offer a nice menu. Activities are offered the residents that were to participate. We would recommend this community for the great value and care that is offered.

I like the community for my loved one. The community has been great at working my concerns and questions over my loved one. The food looks good, and my loved one likes it. They have games, bible study, games, and more for the residents.

We virtually toured this community. The staff was very friendly and shared a lot of great information. They followed up with us also. We were not able to do a regular tour due to covid.

This facility was clean and staff friendly. My mother is a fall risk, I was not shown or told of any types of safeguards or any emergency exits. I did not care about having to move in bed, dresser etc. Nothing mentioned about where or how medication is stored. I don't think these are questions I should have to ask

Worst place ever. If you love your parent, don't even consider this place.

This was a horrendous respite stay for my father-in-law. The staff did nothing to help him, he was not showered, they did not change his soiled clothes or bed clothing. In fact, we found his wet clothing on the floor of his closet where he had thrown them himself. I even brought my father-in-law's own TV in and they never bothered to connect it up so he could watch it.

I had a nice tour of this community. Everything went well for the most part. From what I saw the community looked nice but it wasn't the right fit for my father.

We toured this community when looking for my mom. I didn't like the way it looked. It was very outdated. We went on small tour but I wasn't very impressed.

I had a very nice tour of this community. The director of the community was amazing. She worked very hard for us, and was great with her follow up. The community looked great, and very well-kept. It was a very nice experience, everyone was very kind. We happen to find a community that was close for us to travel too, but this is a very nice place.

This place is awful. If your loved one ever gets hurt or is mistreated or neglected in this home. Good luck in trying to sue. They are the [removed]. They LIE LIE and LIE more. [removed] It is a disgrace a shame Ones quality of life means nothing to them. [removed]. IF you have a mind and have sense to get help, you will be attended to slightly they know they will get in hot water if they don't. Go somewhere else.

My father is doing very well at this community. We all know he is safe and being cared for well at this community. They have provided us with a peace of mind.They have a wonderful staff, they are very courteous and helpful. The head nurse is really good. Everything has worked out very well for us here, and we are very pleased. This is a community I would recommend, it is a great place.

Carolina Gardens at West Columbia is a wonderful community where you always feel right at home. From the front line staff to the management team, everyone really cares for the residents and takes pride in the love and care that they provide to their residents. The food is wonderful and the options they offer are healthy and delicious. If you are on the line about a community, I highly recommend going in, touring the community and sitting down for a meal. You wont look any further.

My husband had a pretty good experience during his respite stay here at this community. They really provided me with a peace of mind knowing he was safe. It was a great experience. The staff couldn't had been more helpful. Everybody was very kind and caring. They do provide spot on help. It was a nice experience.

The community itself was good, but the cost was too much for my parents and we ended up having to move them to another community.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. We ended up selecting a different Carolina Gardens community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one!

Some of the staff is really caring and nice! But as far as adminstration, they are not worth a crap. They do nothing but push blame from one person to another. And whatever you do, please always check and make sure your loved one is getting there medication. As i found out today, my love ones were not!!!!!! They both take blood thinners, and as of today one hadn't had there's for over a month and the other for two weeks. And not one person could explain to me why they weren't given there medication. The answer i was given from the nurse practitioner her self was" i dont have an answer, because i really dont know!!! I just suggest , if you love your parents, grandparents,ect, do keep an eye on everything with there care . because i assumed mine were just elderly with dementia, when it actually turned out that things they were telling me about certain situations at this place was actually the truth!!!!!

All I can say is check out their ratings on the Medicare and DHEC websites. The Agape Primary Physician Care is one you really need to watch. Also, watch your bills closely. The same goes for medications.

My mother in law is living there, the staff is pretty good but I believe my ratings speak for how I feel about the rest of it; cleanliness, value, care services and activities all could use some work.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know South Carolina’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about South Carolina’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
