I visited this facility

The Retreat at Lady's Island was very clean. The staff seemed very nice. I got a little orientation to the place. Even a few of the residents seemed to be enjoying their time there. It seemed to be an upbeat kind of thing. They had a little singing group going on while we were there. They were very polite and very responsive. I asked a few questions, got answers right away, and they showed me a few other things I didn't know about. They were very open about how they do things. It seemed to be a really nic…

The Retreat at Lady's Island

It has become crystal clear that an assisted living facility should have at its core people (an appropriate ratio of well trained care takers) who are devoted to genuinely caring for and assisting residents to ensure their safety and comfort. The ratio of staff to resident was not adequate to maintain appropriate care and safety. He fell several times and felt staff were slow to respond to his calls for assistance. He did appreciate the quality of the food and the facility itself. The level of care simply did not …

This Facility is a Must See in Beaufort

Our parent lived at The Retreat @ Lady’s Island for 3+ years and this was an amazing place with a great staff that was very attentive to their residents. Eventually, we needed to relocate our parent to be closer to family but that was a very hard decision to make. The staff is what made that decision so difficult. If you are looking for a great place for an aging parent in the Beaufort, SC area this facility needs to be at the top of your list. The location offers great water views if that is as important to you a…

Long Term Care assisted-living

My mother-in-law was a resident of The Retreat starting in the assisted living area. As a family I don’t think we understood assisted living or the care that she needed extended beyond the care offered on assisted living. She was transferred to memory care unit and I can’t say enough nice things about the unit. The staff was very caring knew what was going on with her and make suggestions for us. Staff from upstairs came to check in on her and visit her. I thank the management of The Retreat and the staff for givin…

Retreat at Lady's Island

As with any place of service. There are always good people who do so very well and those negative experiences Dad had were with only a few. I think those few would have done so much better if they had more help. I also recommend a a different call system , one that involves a voice that answers and can listen to the specific needs of the client. Knowing one is heard and knowing thelp is on the way is so much better than waiting for and wondering. I think for the size and number of residents, this facility is gross…
