When my mom moved in to Helena Square she was very resistant to the change in lifestyle. The team there worked hard to make the transition smooth. All members of the staff were extremely friendly and outgoing. The facility itself is very beautiful from the rooms to the amenities. It is clean and does not smell like an assisted living facility. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone thinking of taking this step with a loved one.

My mom really loves her place at Helena Square. She enjoys the mingling, the games and the fact that she is close to everything. I would recommend Helena Square to anyone looking to move into assisted living.

Our family looked at several facilities in the Beaufort area. Many were suitable but Helena Square seemed special. Smaller, more intimate, and a genuine family atmosphere. The staff is excellent. Happy we were able to find a wonderful second home.

My 90year old mom is happily adjusting to community living at Helena Square after living alone in a large home with a large yard as a widow for over 10 years. When she broke her leg this past May, and after spending some time in rehab in Georgia, it seemed the right thing for her to transition back to Beaufort County where she spent the first 70 years of her life and could receive good care near family and friends. Mom enjoys having a wonderful chef for 3 meals a day and staff nearby on call 24/7 should a need arise for help. It was a great choice for her.
