A Wonderful Retirement


Tucked away in the heart of historic Greenville, our assisted living and memory care community often feels more like a family reunion than a traditional senior living experience. This is the place where you can enjoy everything you need for a wonderful retirement. From a custom care plan designed to meet your specific needs to an action-packed community calendar full of events and activities, you may find yourself wondering why you didn't make this move sooner.

Life looks a little different for everyone depending on which community they join, but everyone experiences the same wonderfully fulfilling lifestyle.

If you move into our assisted living community, prepare to indulge in all kinds of fascinating events and programs. From morning yoga classes and book clubs to live music performances and shopping outings, you can spend your days however you wish. We even go on regular excursions to local destinations like the Greenville Zoo, Artisphere, Falls Park on the Reedy and the Greenville County Museum of Art.

For our treasured memory care seniors, we provide a little more structure and routine. Your loved one will participate in multiple programs a day as part of our signature Clare Bridge program. Designed specifically for...

Horrible

This place is horrible, I wouldn’t send my worst enemy there. Our mother was in the Alzheimer’s unit for less than 2 weeks. She was sent to the hospital after an altercation and they told us she wasn’t allowed back in Pettigru. How horrible to treat a human this way, especially one with dementia. Please make sure you look into other places as this one was terrible.

Bad management, incompetent workers, unsafe conditions

Management has bad attitudes and don't care about the residents and need more training, some of the staff is not trained properly and shouldn't be medtechs especially with the responsibility of giving residents medicine, Mom stated several times she didn't receive her medicine; prices are too expensive for the care they are providing. Building is in bad shape with leaks, building roof collapsed, water damage, dont understand how building is still open. Removed my mom from this place and wouldn't recommend nobody to put their loved ones here.

Happy with our experience

The only reason the food is a 3 right now because kitchen got damaged? It was excellent before that! I have had lunch and breakfast there many times. It's helpful that the facility has a pharmacy that delivers right there and sends to my mom's insurance and that is a help. They also have a van that takes residents different places and to some doctors appointments. They also do quarterly assessments and call me if they need to.

A Pleasant surprise

I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across Kauhale Pettigru in Greenville, SC. The first time I pulled up to the building, I was pleased that the outside looked so pretty and was well maintained. It was just as nice on the inside, everything is clean, beautifully decorated and the staff are so friendly. After the completion of my tour, I felt confident that I would like for my mom to live here.

The move in went smoothly

The stability of the staff . Low turnover over. My sister likes it so much better than her previous home! Oh yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Our experience

They could be kinder and more helpful in the dining room. My mom said there was a lot of yelling. It may have all been good natured but to the residents it was upsetting. Mom kept saying there was a lady who couldn't feed herself and the ladies at her table were stopped from trying to help. I don't know what that was about. Activities were rare but I always thought the people who worked there were sweet. I do need to emphasize that she left shortly after it changed from The Parker to Kauhale and she was in memory care.. My recommendation is that if Kauhale is close to where you live and you can visit frequently, your loved one will receive great care. My mom really liked the people who worked there.

Over all a nice facility with a feeling of community

We have one in the memory care facility and it is very comforting knowing how kind and attentive the staff is to the patients. If there was anything to improve upon I would say at times they appear to be understaffed. But we are still happy with our choose at this time.

Overall a nice community. No place is perfect

The meals and dining's rating is from things I hear. I haven't eaten there. Didn't have an activities director then hired one who stayed for 6 weeks and now back to no activity director. Overall we like the place. Location is great for us and it's very pretty but it is big and not many people are there yet. I hope it fills up more. I think it would be better if there were a few more active residents- at least in our situation. And definitely need an activities director. Hopefully they find one soon. I'm told it's not an easy position to fill.

Everyone here is knowledgeable, helpful and professional. They knew exactly what requirements were required to get my mother situated and made it a smooth transition. My mom is loved, respected and taken care of.

Our loved one is a resident still and we are very satisfied with the whole experience. The Parker is recently under new management and their new name is KauHale Pettigru. They have kept a lot of the same team for which we are thankful. The staff works well with family to provide the best living situation for their loved one.

Good caregivers and small community

Memory care units are not beautiful like the assisted living apartments are in any facility. However, once you get over that, the caregiving at The Parker is first rate and the Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and speech therapy are all outstanding. The food is up and down and I’ve noticed that my mom is happier when the food is good! I live close by so I can visit frequently. Proximity is essential!! We are happy with our experience at the Parker. I would recommend it if it is close by.

Wonderful place, friendly staff

We placed my in-laws at the Parker. One in memory care and one in assisted living. We have been very pleased with how they are doing. The staff at the Parker has been amazing! Friendly and caring exactly what we were hoping for.

Our families feedback

She only stayed at the Parker for a 7 day respite. Overall we were happy with it for the time she was there. At the time there was never anyone at the front desk and the main door was propped open with a rock, which was a little concerning but was never an issue for us. The meals were great, and the staff was very friendly! They worked with us in a time where we desperately needed a safe space for her to stay and were 100% on board with helping us.

Great value

The level of service needed as they get older meaning the cost. Pricing and location was great for us.

Disconnected, high turnover, questionable.

There is often a disconnect between the management and what goes on day to day in the facility. My Father tested positive for Covid and I was never informed or contacted about it. There is high turnover at this facility (Over 15 people) came and went in 6 months, many in the same positions including the Nurse in charge, 3 cooks, 2 maintenance people and the rest care staff. Level of care was raised and price was increased $[removed] however from my perspective the level of care really didnt' change at all. There were many things I'd warn others to simply be wary of and check things out really well before making any decisions. It wasn't ALL bad, but these comments are all true.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour with The Parker and based on the tour experience solely, we would give them 5 out of 5. I liked their step-up care program and the way they discussed how the residents might move through that process. It was clean and fresh looking. Nothing dingy. I liked the apartments. Most of all I liked their one line item billing.

Experience at The Parker

This is the Memory Care unit, so activities are understandably more restricted. There is a reasonable ratio of caregivers to residents. The staff has overall been extremely friendly and respectful. The individual bedrooms and bathrooms are roomy and kept clean. I would highly recommend this facility to others!
