Although I am nearing the end of my loved one's alzheimer's journey, I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to extol the many virtues of Mount Pleasant Gardens. From my initial interaction with Leanne, to nearly every subsequent one with all manor of staff from Nurse Judy to the many extremely capable, warm, attentive aides, I have been so impressed and comforted by their dedication to their residents. These people are true heros and I know my loved one has received the best care available. I recommend them highly should the time come that you too need a safe, secure, comfortable environment with a very helpful and engaged staff for your loved one.

My mother has been at Mount Pleasant Gardens for over 1.5 years. It is a fantastic place with very caring staff. We are extremely lucky that we found this memory care facility.

MPG feels like a warm hug! Moving my mom to MPG has been wonderful for her. It feels like a community with a caring and dedicated staff who engage with the residents while providing professional care.

My mom has lived in three different memory care homes in the Charleston area, and, by far, Mt. Pleasant Gardens is the most welcoming, supportive, reliable, and professional — both for their residents and families. From the moment my mom and I toured with Leanne, MPG’s resident-focused philosophy has driven all decisions regarding Mom’s care. There is detailed and timely communication among the nurse, Judy (whose cell phone number is shared with families), me, and Mom’s doctor. Additionally, families receive emails inviting them to various special events, including the annual fundraiser held to support Alzheimer's research, an event that offers residents an opportunity to run sales and serve their family members. (Leanne is great at sending photos of our lived ones!) This is just one way MPG supports the autonomy and independence of its residents. All activities and interactions among staff and residents reflect the “dignity for all” approach that is practiced every day. As Mom’s Alzheimer’s disease progresses, I am grateful for the MUSC psychiatrist who meets with residents on site and collaborates with Judy and other caregivers; her support of Mom and me is priceless. Finally, I find the public areas as well as Mom’s apartment/room to be the cleanest of all our experiences to date. Whether it is the smile at the front door or the sparkling clean floors that greet me when I arrive, each visit is a positive experience. Expect an open door policy with the director Kristen, the bookkeeper Jennifer, the nurse Judy, and Leanne in sales and all things resident related! This is a team that has been in place for years and is heavily invested in MPG as if their own family members lived there. Alzheimer’s is a difficult journey, and no one understands this better than MPG. I am glad that they walk by my side and Mom’s each step of the way.
