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.

My mom loves living at Emerald Gardens and I have seem her thrive here. There is lots to do and they let residents be active in leading Bible Studies or playing piano for singalongs. I feel like my mom is not just cared for but the staff loves these folks as if residents are family.

Emerald Gardens is a blessing!
My mother moved into Emerald Gardens recently, following the death of my father- her husband of 70 years. It has been a huge blessing to know she has the company of other seniors, three nutritious meals everyday, a myriad of fun activities each week, and assistance with daily living tasks.

Courteous and Professional
Since my Dad moved in the facility in May of 2024, I have found the staff to be excellent. The staff are always courteous and professional, and attentive to the special needs that Dad requires. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene the staff worked diligently to care for him and keep him safe while we we trying to recover from damage at our own home. I have nothing but gratitude for everyone at Emerald Gardens.

Review for Emerald Gardens
I visited five other locations searching for the facility that would best suit my sister's needs and happiness. Within the first few minutes of entering Emerald Gardens, it was obvious the residents were happy, content and well taken care of. Emerald Gardens gave my sister that exact same experience of happiness and satisfaction - everything from the care, the activities, the friendships and having the ability to share her Faith with others. I am thankful to have found Emerald Gardens - - as the staff is incredibly dedicated.

Our Experience
The only concern we have is the fact that after hours it's extremely difficult to get in touch with any staff. We have had some situations with mama that she would call me about a concern and I was unable to reach anyone there to discuss it. However, we could reach the on call nurse who was not on the premises. Housekeeping does a good job, to the extreme that she didn't want them to come clean her room (she is not capable of doing it herself), so they notified us and accommodated by cleaning her room when they knew she would be out at an activity for a length of time rather than trying to stick to the scheduled cleaning times. Daddy is really enjoying the meals and the social interactions at meal times.

My loved one was previously a resident at Emerald Gardens. This facility was wonderful, I would give every rating a TEN if I could. I just can't begin to say how great the staff and rooms were. My loved one would still be there, but my daughter wanted her to be closer since my health is not good. I would highly recommend this facility to everyone.

Emerald Gardens has exceeded our expectations in every way!
It was the best decision my family and I made to place our mother at Emerald Gardens. They have been a true extended supportive and caring family to mom . The staff goes over and above to make her feel loved and cared for and that gives us as a family peace of mind that she is in the best place. She is now meeting new people, socializing more and getting involved with activities that are offered daily. Mom tells us the food is always so good and asks for seconds often. Thank you Emerald Gardens for all you do! You truly are the Best!

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.

Emerald Gardens offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and Semi-Private. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Emerald Gardens 9.9 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.
