Pros and cons

My mom was only there for a week and a half before she ended up in the hospital and is now in a nursing home for physical therapy. The food was really good - I got to eat a meal with her there once and the sides were very nice. On the flip side, it sometimes took a long time to answer her call button and sometimes no one came at all.

Beware of Windrush

I've become very disillusioned with Windrush. They make the residents go to bed at 5:30pm and they're in bed for 12 hours. They were not giving my mom a certain medication that was prescribed for her and often they've taken too long to help her to the bathroom resulting in her soiling herself. The aides have told me the director lies and is not a good person. They've even sent my mom to the hospital just because she couldn't sleep one night. If I had control of her finances I would have moved her to [community removed].

Disappointing Experience

Director [name removed]y with no reason, and hired a fired nurse/manager from another facility with no experience to be a director [name removed] (never got her card) made absolutely no sense. He was a wonderful, interactive, and caring director with staff, residents, and families. [name removed]was hired immediately in a new facility in Georgetown that our loved one cannot afford. [name removed) fired a lot of staff, some needed to be, but she should be replaced as well. None of her staff like her mgmt style. The food quality went downhill, they don't take care of their landscaping, and it's just plain not the same friendly environment anymore. We've applied for [name removed] to be moved to the VA Victory House in Walterboro, SC. Several residents left immediately after [name removed] was hired. And, the staff is so under educated that our loved one almost died on [date removed]Thank God, my husband [name removed] asked me to check in on [name removed] on way home that evening...they missed all three red flags that day. The ER stabilized him within an hour or the doctor said he would have died!

Horribly run facility

Windrush has gone downhill quickly over the past two months. I am regularly in the building and absolutely shocked. First of all, the building smells awful- constant stench of urine. It is obviously not cleaned properly. Every time I come in, there are residents parked in front of a TV. Doesn’t matter if it’s 9am or 2pm. Most of these residents appear to be cognitively impaired and in wheelchairs without the ability to ambulate themselves. The staff turnover has been incredible. [name removed] was always warm and accessible and truly seemed to care. The new lady is like an ice princess. She walks around not talking to anyone and has moved her office away from everyone which is really weird. [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed] are fantastic and a constant. I’m not sure what direction the building is going in but I caution families to really pay attention and do your research.

Review for Windrush at Garden City Assisted Living

[name removed], Executive Director was top notch, organized, went above and beyond, and was super involved and friendly with staff, residents, and families. Evidently, too nice because the big guy fired him without any notice or reason. We voiced our disapproval, but it didn't do any good. [name removed]was perfect for Windrush, he ran it well, was a former accountant, and very reachable. [name removed] was transferred from another property. We've met her. She's nice, but know nothing else about her. [name removed] was the first marketing manager. She was so sweet, kind, knowledgeable about the entire industry, but she was fired immediately too without any reason. I guess mgmt at Windrush doesn't like kind, nice, and knowledgeable employees. We've heard corporate is in business to make money for profit. [name removed]is the second marketing manager. She is sweet and kind as well, but don't know her past. Thank, God the staff is kind, sweet, and personable, with residents and family members! [name removed]is the maintenance manager...he has a very well rounded background, and does a great job. [name removed] is Windrush's only cleaning employee we know about. He is super friendly, kind, and goes out of his way to do a great job keeping Windrush clean and smelling great!! It's very hard with all the incontinent residents! [name removed] is the head RN. She is well educated, knows the business, and doesn't miss anything! [name removed] is an RN/Paramedic with full knowledge, a fun personality that all the residents love. [name removed] was the Recreation Director, but fired also. What's up with this company. Honestly, they don't like anyone who is knowledgeable, sweet, and kind. [name removed] is the head chef. So far he's still employed! Food overall is decent. Breakfast eggs need a little extra care to make them softer. Overall outdoor and indoor cleanliness is 90%. They don't have an employee to pick up outside garage that blows into the property.

My husband and I are placing his brother into Windrush at Garden City, SC. The entire staff from director [name removed], to [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], and others are total professionals, knowledgeable, very friendly, and are willing to assist and answer any of your questions. Windrush facility is routinely cleaned and provides weekly activities to keep their residents entertained and happy. I’m very impressed witnessing how all staff interact with each resident, and treating them with kindness and respect that they deserve.

Troublesome in the beginning but improving!

Our entry at Windrush was very positive but once we got our father there; we began to have issues. I got hit with two months of late fees when the faculty did not EFT funds timely. Then there was an incident that required my father to EMS to the hospital for stitches, surgery, and a concussion where he spent two weeks while I was still being charged for the assisted living. Management was quickly changed and I am seeing definite improvements. I talked to [name removed], the new manager, and advised that I clearly see greater progress today over the past administration but would like a refund of my late fees. I will continue to monitor the progress.

Review for Windrush Assisted Living

Some of the people there as far as the patients are a little nasty and you have to take it for what it's worth because they are a mix of different ailments to everybody so that's understood. I personally think all of these places are grossly overpriced!

DO not place a loved one here

I would give 0 if I could. This is the worst Place ever. I would tell others to not take a loved one there. I took my loved one out after only 3 weeks time and they still charged us for the next month.

My loved one is currently a resident at Windrush Assisted Living and the overall experience at this facility has been good. The facility was just sold to the new owners this month. They do have high staff turnover. However, overall, I would recommend Windrush Assisted Living to others.

Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at Windrush Assisted Living and overall the experience at this facility was not great. The cleanliness, friendliness and staff were good. The meals were okay. However, the care services were not great. The facility was acceptable, but not really a good fit for Dementia or Memory Care patients like my loved one. Some of the staff were not too good with handling my loved one's Dementia.

Comfortable and a good value

My loved one is currently a resident at Carolina Gardens at Garden City and overall the experience has been very good. Moving in was easy, but my advice would be to plan space carefully. Look at the items in other rooms to get an idea of layout and space. The big meal of the day at this facility is lunchtime. The food is good and the variety is very good also. Overall, Carolina Gardens at Garden City is a good value. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

No dementia care

My loved one was previously a resident at Carolina Gardens at Garden City in the Memory Care unit and the overall experience was okay. I have no experience with the Assisted Living side, only the Memory Care. The Assisted Living residents may feel different about this facility. However, in our experience, this facility is not adequately prepared for dementia patients. I would not recommend this facility for Memory Care.

Would Recommend

I believe Carolina Gardens is a relatively safe facility, and they try to have varied and interesting activities for residents. Maintenance staff is helpful and kind as well. Sometimes they are understaffed. Most staff are super nice. One or two staff members are not as kind and somewhat abrupt with my mom when she is frustrated.

Review for Carolina Gardens at Garden City

Rooms need to be cleaner. My loved one complained about the meals and is not a picky eater. They have no activities for men, and the hair dresser won't cut men's hair. The staff is friendly.

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the South Carolina regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about South Carolina regulations for Assisted Living.
