Recent reviews for assisted living in Lancaster

Brookdale Harbison in Columbia, SC

4.0
My experience with Brookdale is positive. It is much more important than I initially realized to carefully match the capabilities of the prospective resident to the level of care the facility offers.

Brookdale Columbia

4.9
I chose the community due to close to my home and the staff was welcoming. The cost was reasonable for my Dads needs now and in the future along with the cleanness.

TerraBella Little Avenue in Charlotte, NC

5.0
We like TerraBella Little Avenue because the facility was smaller than the other ones that we visited. It seemed like the best fit for my loved one. I would recommend this facility to others.
