Recent reviews for memory care in Zirconia

Ashlan Village in Lyman, SC

4.8
The activities are great, before COVID they have bible studies, church groups come in to sing, and other live entertainment. We really liked how friendly the staff was, everything is on one level so its very convenient. The food could use some improvements, the quality could be a little better.

Carolina Reserve of Hendersonville

5.0
The care and attention to detail is what sets this company apart. They truly strive to make the client and their family happy; which is extremely difficult in this time. Any questions I have are promptly answered and I have never had a problem regarding any issue!

Pacifica Senior Living Heritage Hills in Hendersonville, NC

3.6
I would definitely recommend Heritage Hills Pacifica. I believe they have good care. I wish there was more communication with the family rather than me having to ask. I wish I would have follow up on the hydration protocol and when she had lab work.
