Brookdale Harbison in Columbia, SC

4.0
My experience with Brookdale is positive. It is much more important than I initially realized to carefully match the capabilities of the prospective resident to the level of care the facility offers.

Pines Columbia in West Columbia, SC

4.5
The staff team at Pines Columbia is friendly and usually available when you need them. Communication of events at facility have improved so that family has an opportunity to schedule and be present.

TerraBella Summerville

5.0
My mom only lived there for 2 weeks before she was hospitalized and passed away. They went way over in taking care of her and being there for me during a most difficult time. I would recommend them. We picked this community because they were friendly, clean and the price.
