When I knew that I was ready to make a move to a retirement community, I chose to go to Brightwater. I had taken a tour years ago and knew that when I was ready, that was the place I wanted to go to. My decision to go now was a great one. I'm very happy that my life is much easier and still be active if I choose to be. I don't need to cook or clean. It's done for me. I'm in!!

Brightwater is by far the best senior living community in the Grand Strand area. And the only true CCRC in Horry County. I’m so impressed with staff there. They truly run a tight ship from independent living through all the care services like assisted, memory, and skilled nursing. They provide such a great quality of life for those aging, and a place to do it with dignity. Great job Brightwater!

Brightwater is a great place to live out those “golden” years. There are many living options from cottages to Villa apartments and many room layouts in both. You don’t have to look far for an activity that will suit you. Independent Living is great but if you ever need Assisted Living, Rehab,Memory Care, they are all at Brightwater. But best of all are the welcoming residents. You will have friends here. If you are getting older, and who isn’t, consider Brightwater. If you are not getting older, please tell me how you do it.

Hello, my name is Carolyn Morris and I’ve been here at Brightwater for almost 3 weeks. I’ve had wonderful experiences here. This is a wonderful skilled nursing facility but I especially want to mention a lady that has gone out of her way to help me and she’s very sweet and wonderful. Her name is Yosy YOSY and she is a very dedicated kind worker that you should be very proud that you have. In your company

I recently helped my parents move into Brightwater independent living. We started the process of evaluating independent living options for my parents back in November. We looked at several in the area, and they were nice, but Brightwater had a warm feel and everyone we met there was happy. It is very unusual these days to find a place that so many people from all backgrounds and places come together and are so friendly with each other. I spent almost a month there during my parents move-in and continue to be impressed every day with the quality of care and the feeling you get as you walk through the facility. The food is delicious (the other places seemed a bit more institutional in food choice and quality). The facilities are beautiful and well maintained, even though it is the oldest of the ones we looked at. My parents are very happy there, although a bit overwhelmed by the change in their life (all good). Their only regret is that they didn't make the move sooner, where they could really enjoy all Brightwater has to offer. I know in my gut, this was the right move for them, and I believe it will extend their life and the enjoyment of the time they have left. Thank you to all at Brightwater for making it such a wonderful place. It really is special and very comforting to visit my parents knowing they are in a great community of people that can support and nurture them.
