Review for Windrush Assisted Living

Some of the people there as far as the patients are a little nasty and you have to take it for what it's worth because they are a mix of different ailments to everybody so that's understood. I personally think all of these places are grossly overpriced!

Troublesome in the beginning but improving!

Our entry at Windrush was very positive but once we got our father there; we began to have issues. I got hit with two months of late fees when the faculty did not EFT funds timely. Then there was an incident that required my father to EMS to the hospital for stitches, surgery, and a concussion where he spent two weeks while I was still being charged for the assisted living. Management was quickly changed and I am seeing definite improvements. I talked to [name removed], the new manager, and advised that I clearly see greater progress today over the past administration but would like a refund of my late fees. I will continue to monitor the progress.

DO not place a loved one here

I would give 0 if I could. This is the worst Place ever. I would tell others to not take a loved one there. I took my loved one out after only 3 weeks time and they still charged us for the next month.

Recommended

My loved one is currently a resident at Windrush Assisted Living and the overall experience at this facility has been good. The facility was just sold to the new owners this month. They do have high staff turnover. However, overall, I would recommend Windrush Assisted Living to others.

Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at Windrush Assisted Living and overall the experience at this facility was not great. The cleanliness, friendliness and staff were good. The meals were okay. However, the care services were not great. The facility was acceptable, but not really a good fit for Dementia or Memory Care patients like my loved one. Some of the staff were not too good with handling my loved one's Dementia.

Review for Carolina Gardens at Garden City

Look around. Don't make a quick decision. We picked this community because of the location. It's about halfway between two important relatives.

Comfortable and a good value

My loved one is currently a resident at Carolina Gardens at Garden City and overall the experience has been very good. Moving in was easy, but my advice would be to plan space carefully. Look at the items in other rooms to get an idea of layout and space. The big meal of the day at this facility is lunchtime. The food is good and the variety is very good also. Overall, Carolina Gardens at Garden City is a good value. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

No dementia care

My loved one was previously a resident at Carolina Gardens at Garden City in the Memory Care unit and the overall experience was okay. I have no experience with the Assisted Living side, only the Memory Care. The Assisted Living residents may feel different about this facility. However, in our experience, this facility is not adequately prepared for dementia patients. I would not recommend this facility for Memory Care.

Would Recommend

I believe Carolina Gardens is a relatively safe facility, and they try to have varied and interesting activities for residents. Maintenance staff is helpful and kind as well. Sometimes they are understaffed. Most staff are super nice. One or two staff members are not as kind and somewhat abrupt with my mom when she is frustrated.

Tour experience

I took a virtual your with Carolina Gardens at Garden City and it was terrible - just so sad. The studio apartment was just a bedroom with a bathroom and very tiny closet. There was no kitchen of any kind.

Review for Carolina Gardens at Garden City

Rooms need to be cleaner. My loved one complained about the meals and is not a picky eater. They have no activities for men, and the hair dresser won't cut men's hair. The staff is friendly.

Lovely Community

Carolina Gardens at Garden City is a lovely community that makes everyone who walks through their doors feel like family. The Culinary Director ensures that the meals are not only nutritious, but you are given a variety of different options from day to day. The Life Enrichment Director ensures 6-8 activities are going on throughout the day. Some of the activities that one may see are bible studies, BINGO, cards, trivia, lunch/shopping/mystery outings, exercising, coffee socials, musical entertainment and HAPPY HOUR! Care staff is in the community 24/7, making sure that your loved ones are getting the care that is needed, helping with medication management, bathing, grooming and dressing when assistance is needed. What is also great about this community is that you will see Management out and about with the residents and helping where and when needed. This is one of the most budget friendly communities in the Myrtle Beach area. Call to set up a tour, you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommended

Everybody has been really nice and it is easily accessible to get in and out. They do a great job of offering plenty of activities for residents, even though my mom doesn't participate, the staff still try to encourage her to go. They do have a pet therapy program and she does enjoy that. We have been very pleased with our experience at Carolina Gardens and would definitely recommend the facility to others.
