Helena Square is a fantastic smaller assisted-living home that makes my father feel welcomed and I know that everybody is watching out for him. I have often said it’s like a big fraternity/Sorority house where everybody knows each other, but has their own space and independence as they’d like. The staff is amazing and I never worry that my dad is in great hands

My mom really loves her place at Helena Square. She enjoys the mingling, the games and the fact that she is close to everything. I would recommend Helena Square to anyone looking to move into assisted living.

Our family looked at several facilities in the Beaufort area. Many were suitable but Helena Square seemed special. Smaller, more intimate, and a genuine family atmosphere. The staff is excellent. Happy we were able to find a wonderful second home.

My 90year old mom is happily adjusting to community living at Helena Square after living alone in a large home with a large yard as a widow for over 10 years. When she broke her leg this past May, and after spending some time in rehab in Georgia, it seemed the right thing for her to transition back to Beaufort County where she spent the first 70 years of her life and could receive good care near family and friends. Mom enjoys having a wonderful chef for 3 meals a day and staff nearby on call 24/7 should a need arise for help. It was a great choice for her.

The staff are caring, the facility is clean and my mom felt safe there. I’m glad we found this place. A step above the other options we considered. The location can’t be beat, right in downtown Port Royal, next to the cypress wetlands and restaurants etc. The courtyard is beautiful and they’re pet friendly, so she could bring her cat, which made the transition so much easier.

My mother was reluctant to move into an assisted living facility. When we toured and had lunch at Helena Square, my mom meant so many wonderful people. Almost immediately she felt at home and knew Helena Square was her place. We set up her apartment to feel like home, bringing all the things she loves. She is so happy!

This small community impressed me. There is a friendly atmosphere among the residents. As soon as I walked in the door, I was welcomed by several staff, the executive director, and the full-time nurse. The community felt like home to me. Some of the staff have been there for 8, 9, 10 years, and they provide 24 hour care. A nurse told me the facility partners with physical therapists, physicians, and a pharmacy to ensure residents are well-cared for. Having found the perfect place for my mother, we look forward to her moving to the Beaufort area soon!

My mother lives there and we have had a great experience. She says it feels like a family. She feels the staff is friendly and accommodating to her. It is at a great location near the library and post office in the heart of the lawyer downtown of Port Royal with a coffee shop next door.

During the holiday season, I was worried my mom would be sad, but I couldn't have been more wrong! The programming and activities are excellent. Using all the decor from her home, we decorated her apartment. She has made friends with folks who are like family, and so have I. This is an excellent community, which I highly recommend.

My brother in law moved recently to Helena Square. A perfect place for him. He loves his newly renovated studio and enjoys the friendly and helpful staff that make him feel so very special. He has found friends and participated in outings which is so amazing. Thank you [name removed] for making [name removed] transition to the Helena Square easy and comfortable.

Helena Square was my first choice when trying to find a facility for my 105-year-old Mother. Mom has always been stubborn but after meeting with the staff at Helena Square they were so helpful to me and to Mom which made the whole transition a breeze. I have no doubt that Mom is well cared for every day of the week. Mom is a fairly new resident at Helena Square, but she has blossomed which I figured she would once she was around more of her peers as opposed to living at home and only having the TV, computer and dog for company. I couldn't have chosen a better place for Mom.

Helena Square is a small/cozy community that feels like home as soon as you walk in the door. Family, friends and pets are welcome. There is a beautiful courtyard filled with flowers that feels perfect for rocking on the porch. Activities are endless and so much fun! The staff is friendly and reliable. Helena Square is a great place to live!!

My mother needed a place where she can easily get around with safe and comfortable setting and Helena Square checks all the boxes. The staff are friendly and respectful. They always ready to assist and give her the necessary support whenever she needs help. It's in a great location in Port Royal. There are restaurants, coffee shop, and post office near by. Overall this is the best place for my at this point in her life.

My father moved into Helena Square in April 2024. The team at Helena have consistently been friendly, caring and quick to take action or address any questions or requests. Dad has been able to participate in a few of the group activities. Additionally, the food variety and quality are consistently good.

I was looking for a place for my mother and live 800 miles away. I worked with [name removed], the Dir of Sales and Marketing to understand the process and to help coordinate the transition. As I was unable to tour the facility, we did a virtual tour which was just what I needed. [name removed] went well above and beyond in helping me as I was unable to be there to receive furniture, packages as well as the day of move-in. She worked with my current caregivers and nurses with paperwork and understanding my mothers needs. When I was able to get to the facility I was extremely impressed with all the workers and the facility was even more charming then I had hoped. I highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a personalized, small but mighty facility that offers all amenities you can hope for. The location is perfectly situated in a beautiful small town where residents can walk to shops and restaurants. I am very happy, after looking at many facilities, that Helena Square was the final selection.

Helena Square is a wonderful, homelike environment for my father. He feels at home there and has made friends in the short time he has been there! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff consistently demonstrate professionalism, care, compassion, and attentiveness. The activities are thoughtfully organized and tailored to the residents’ individual interests and abilities. After dinner, many residents play games and socialize until bedtime. It’s wonderful to hear their laughter and see the friendships! One of the things we truly appreciate is the dining experience. The meals are delicious, and my dad has the opportunity to choose his entrees, which adds a personal touch to his care. If you're looking for a safe, friendly, and homelike assisted living facility for your loved one, I highly recommend Helena Square. It has brought us peace of mind knowing my dad is in such good hands.

My husband of 59 years was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I wanted the BEST care for him. BEST care included a place that would allow me to visit on a daily basis. BEST included a place with an expertise in his medical needs. BEST also included a place that would allow visits from Cookie ( his deeply loved dog). BEST would include good meals and some activity each day. I found the BEST OF THE BEST!! I found ALL of the above at Helena Square in Port Royal, SC. THANK YOU TO THE MANAGEMENT & STAFF AT HELENA SQUARE. You are deeply appreciated.

We picked this community because of , proximity to our home. I wanted to be able to visit Jim on a daily basis. Not only am I welcome to visit at any time; our loved pet dog [name removed] is also welcome to visit at any time.

It's a pretty good place. They were very flexible, and the one place we found that allowed my loved one to have her dog. Their flexibility was the main reason we went there in comparison to other places. They do seem understaffed, so you don't always get immediate attention. But in general they do pretty well. It's an aging facility, so they've had some maintenance issues, but they do try to keep up with it, and it's kept very clean. The residents do a good job supporting each other, and there's a great sense of community.
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:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the South Carolina regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about South Carolina regulations for Assisted Living.
