Recent reviews for memory care in Leo

Magnolia Bridge at Murrells Inlet

3.6
There needs to be more one-on-one care in the memory care department. Too many things are misplaced and not enough qualified nurses. There needs to be more participation in the activities from the residents.

The Carolinian in Florence, SC

Everything is going well for my mother since her move to this community. She is doing well, and I'am pleased with all they have done for us. This community is working out pretty well for us, and it is a good place with kind people.
