I am very happy I moved to Emerald Gardens
I have been living at the campus for 6 months now and I am so happy to moved here! I love music and now I am able to play the baby grand piano in the front lobby and enternain my friends and family when they come to hear me play. I enjoy all the new people I have met, the staff and other resident and everyone is so helpful and kind. I look forward to many more days with fun filled days of activities, great meals and knowing there are people around me all the time when I need support.

A really great place to live!
When I first got to Emerald Gardens I was very sick and took awhile to improve. I believe I would not have made it this past year if it wasn’t for the excellent care I record from the staff. I am now able to care for myself but still enjoy the friendships, meals and activities they provide for us residents. I have met a lot of new people and made many new friends. Very happy to be a part of this great campus!

Memory Care Improving
Emerald Gardens has began to invest more in staffing equipment and facility improvements in the memory care area. They have added a supervisor and part time activities coordinator. That has translated into allowing the memory care residents to participate in many of the assisted living events and offering them more structured activities. I'm very pleased.

A very busy place!!!
My mom was in an assisted living that had activities maybe once a week. Moved to Emerald Gardens over a year ago and her only complaint has been not enough time to take naps. Told her to take her naps but she is afraid she will miss something!! Great place with great workers taking care of your love ones.

My mother has been at Emerald Gardens for over 6 years. She is so happy there! All of the staff have her best interests at heart. They treat Mom with respect and dignity, always going the extra mile to be sure she feels comfortable and secure. Knowing that Mom is safe and well taken care of gives me peace.

A Caring Home for Parents
I have family members who reside at Emerald Gardens. My husband and I work and knew our parents needed care beyond what we could provide. Emerald Gardens has been an incredible answer in meeting their needs of assistance, safety, activities, and genuine caring. The leadership at Emerald Gardens is professional and approachable. I sleep better at night knowing there is someone available at all times to help as they need. I highly recommend Emerald Gardens when facing the decisions of increased care

A wonderful “home away from home”
Our mother has been living at Emerald Gardens for 15 months, following the death of our dad. We are so pleased with the kindness, friendliness, and professionalism of the care team. Not only are her needs met, but in a way that preserves her dignity, and causes her to recognize that the staff members truly know and care about her as an individual.. The activities offered not only fill the hours, but also foster interaction and friendship among the residents and staff. The residents have a lot of fun engaging in various activities weekly - both on and off campus. My mom mentions often how grateful she is for the three meals daily, noting the food is good, and she is thrilled to be relieved of the burden of meal planning, grocery shopping, preparation, and cleanup! It is a great comfort to us to know that she is getting her daily medications consistently. My sister and I visit frequently, and we feel that Emerald Gardens is a “home away from home” for us all - a second family!

Everything about Emerald Gardens is first class. The staff is very in tuned to what the resident's need. They have so many activities for the resident's to participate in and invite family to join in for many of the activities. They have concerts and weekly church services and the food is extremely tasty. The nursing staff is very attentive and sweet while taking care of the resident's.

Tips for evaluating your community options

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:

  • Know South Carolina’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about South Carolina’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Emerald Gardens

Emerald Gardens offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and Semi-Private. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Emerald Gardens 10 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
