Recent reviews for memory care in Carolina Forest
Magnolia Bridge at Murrells Inlet
3.6
There needs to be more one-on-one care in the memory care department. Too many things are misplaced and not enough qualified nurses.
There needs to be more participation in the activities from the residents.
Hope Arbor of Murrells Inlet

The staff is good,but they could do better. The meals are good and they said that my wife enjoys them. The community is always clean and neat. My wife says that she feels really comfortable with being here.
Portside at Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach, SC
5.0
We chose Portside at Grande Dunes because it just felt the best and had the best vibe. The flow of the facility specifically for memory care is very well thought out and was not just added on later. They do offer both shared and private rooms. I would recommend them to others looking.
