The Place at Shadow Oaks in Aiken, SC

We were very pleased with The Place at Shadow Oaks... My brother seemed to be comfortable there and was well taken care of. He has very limited funds ...therefore we can’t use them frequently. But it is wonderful though to be offered respite for short term care.
The Legacy of Lexington

My Dad was there for such a short time we did not get very acquainted with the staff. Those we did interact with were very friendly and helpful.
