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.

The Legacy of Lexington

3.6
My Dad was there for such a short time we did not get very acquainted with the staff. Those we did interact with were very friendly and helpful.

Generations of Chapin

5.0
The staff is wonderful, kind, and loving to my mother. She tended greatly to every question and concern I have heard during this covid pandemic. This is a tough time with our loved ones in an assisted living with limited visitation, but they have helped her to be happy. Thank you.
