The Blake at Woodcreek Farms in Elgin, SC

3.9
This has been a great move for our love one, having moved her from [community name removed]. Her personal care is much more focused and maintained. Her medical care and attention is maintained, resulting in her being more calm and cooperative. I would recommend this place as a first option.
