Properly maintained facilities. Reviews emphasize the importance of cleanliness and upkeep, with residents and families expecting well-maintained interior spaces and grounds. The common areas, private rooms, and outdoor areas should all be kept in excellent condition.
Dedicated memory care facilities. Several families prefer communities that specialize in memory care to ensure their loved ones receive appropriate care and attention. For example, Harmony at Columbia and The Springs at Simpsonville are praised for their focus on memory care.
