Meridian Senior Living

From day one, everyone at the Villas at St. James was friendly and helpful. Dad was fighting us a bit to stay in his house, but after a terrible fall it became necessary that he have more help. He has gotten the help he needs, yet retains his dignity and independence. He looks forward to staff from management to housekeeping coming to visit him at his "apartment". They always seem to be friendly and have a bit of time to talk. He occasionally complains about the food and then other times says it is good. He's gained some weight. He loves to go on field trips on their bus and visit with friends (old and new) on his porch. It's been a great experience for both of us.

Outstanding. Clean, pleasant, good location, outgoing staff, met most of them!

My Mother said that it felt like home. She has been there since the end of Oct and she loves it! She loves the staff, and she loves the residents! She is very happy there!

My husband is taken care of, he is content, well fed, has a clean apartment, the whole facility is VERY clean. Every staff member is the most find and understanding.

Good experience with the community. The staff is flexible and caring.

Entree's could be a little tastier but many other options. Overall care cleanliness friendliness activities everything is good. Very expensive though not sure how long we can keep him there and what will come next. The facility is very helpful in explaining everything in detail and will meet with families and answer phone calls any time. The whole family is very satisfied with my dad's happiness there. He is 97 and has all of his faculties so if he's happy we are all happy. It truly is a great place.

My mom and I have been working with [name removed] for about a month now. He did our original tour and followed up and has been very attentive. During our tour he was very kind and caring. He understood our needs and made my mom laugh more than I had seen in a while. He visited her 2 different times while she was in rehab and made her move in as smooth as possible. Thank you!

I would say everyone is friendly and doing their best. The nurses are excellent . I would highly recommend it.

Welcoming and caring. Good food, good therapies, nice rooms, transportation and all kinds of activities and special occasions that include family members...and much more for our family resident who loves living there~ great find in SC! Thank you to A Place for Mom for recommending and scheduling our visit there.

Just moved my Dad in recently. He has early dementia but his wife is in and out of the hospital a lot and he can’t be alone. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is and how much peace of mind we have knowing that he is there surrounded by such great people- staff and residents!!

Understanding independent living vs assisted living is an early challenge. MerryWood on Park is a smaller and much more personable facility. The apartment sizes are great for what is needed and for the price.

We had a great experience! The staff are all very attentive to the residents. I highly recommend Smithfield Woods, I wish that they till had the option for short-term respite stays!

more than satisfied. so kind and knowledgeable

Nice friendly atmosphere. I have independence, great staff, excellent food, good activities, cuddos to activity director. I love my cottage in independent living it's perfect for me, and close enough to get meals and my hair done.

I feel like every one I meet here between staff and residents are my friends. Lots of good creative activities. Many outings. I feel safe in my independent cottage and if need be medical attention is there if need be.

Memory Care employees are especially kind, thoughtful & helpful. Willing to listen to your concerns & work with you & resident. The room size in memory care is Just right for my Mom's needs.

[name removed] and [name removed] were so helpful! The facility is very well maintained and we are so fortunate to have them in our community. I temporarily had to place my family member in another facility while waiting for an available apartment at Brookstone. My experience there was not great, but getting moved to Brookstone has been great. I can’t say enough about how attentive the staff has been.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The drivers will do special favors for you, like taking you to the post office or bank. Housekeeping is once per week. It's adequate, but not too thorough. They will call your family if they have any concerns about you or if you are taken to the hospital. The food is a constant source of discussion. Some residents love it, some hate it. I'm kind of neutral. The move in process was good. Overall, I'm very happy here.

Excellent from the first person I met. Very upbeat facility - lots of smiles, both residents and staff. Lots of activities. Memory care area superb. Program well explained. Definitely what I was looking for as a place for mom.
