We recently moved my Aunt Helen to South Carolina from her life long place of Birmingham, Al.<br>My aunt has been very active in all kinds of programs and groups & has been such a sociel butterfly her entire life. We finaly got her to agree to move in with her daughter Rita and even though the did lots together, she needed more. They toured Helena Square and felt so welcomed. My Aunt Helen quickly moved in and it has been such a wonderful transition and a blessing. The community is very clean, well staffed, proffesional, everyone is so welcoming, and personable. Helen felt right at home quickly and has met so many new friends, enjoys the food and the activities Helena provides. What an answer to our prayers this has been.
