Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"Claiborne will never get more than two stars from me as long as the food, and the food service, remain as bad as they are. In a month of living here our meals that are supposed to be hot have BEEN hot exactly twice. They have stopped having real butter and instead serve that awful chemical junk. The wait staff constantly bickers at each other AND the residents. They write down orders and then often don't serve what was ordered. Meals are never served to a table together. Very often, like this evening, one diner is completely finished their meal before the other diner gets their meal. Deserts are often served well before the person has finished their meal. Service rarely begins on time. Almost everything else about living here is very pleasant, but the dining experience puts a pall on the rest of it." - Emily…

"When you are first introduced to this place everything is sparkling and nice however that’s a set up. Staff is alerted to touring families which is why you have to schedule. The first few weeks are pretty good everyone makes your loved one a priority. Then rooms go half cleaned, laundry piles up, meds get missed, showers aren’t given, bed are left urine soaked, meals well let’s not go there. If you want your memory care loved one stuck in a chair all day with very little to do this is the place for them. Most staff members do not care about the residents.

They can treat your loved one however they want staff knows there are no cameras and management doesn’t really exist outside of their office. So many residents are not making it out of here. There is no training! Anyone gets hired." - Barb…

2333 Ashley River Road, Charleston, SC, 29414
Assisted Living, Memory Care

"Our family’s experience at The Oaks at Charleston Assisted Living was deeply disappointing and, at times, heartbreaking. What stood out most was the extreme lack of leadership and accountability. We raised serious concerns multiple times with the Executive Director and formally requested discussions with corporate leadership. Both my brother and I made direct requests to speak with corporate. Those requests went unanswered. After my brother posted a review, corporate responded publicly asking him to call to discuss the situation. When he did, the phone rang repeatedly with no answer. He left a detailed voicemail requesting a return call. No one ever called back. That kind of surface-level responsiveness without actual follow-through reflects exactly what we experienced throughout our time there. One of the most distressing issues involved basic hygiene. On multiple occasions, my mother’s soiled bedsheets were left unchanged for several days — in some cases close to a week — unless m" - Kenneth…
