During my search of many independent living communities in the Myrtle Beach area, Portside at Grand Dunes got my attention immediately. Now as a resident of 3 weeks, I am confident that Portside is my new home. I feel welcomed every time I walk in the front door, at the meals, and activities. The residents and staff are caring and respectful of each other. One thing I have noticed is that everyone speaks to each other with a smile on there face. I love it at Portside!

From my first tour right through my decision to move to Portside, my experience has been wonderful. Every time I met with Susan I had my list of questions and she answered every one with candor, enthusiasm, understanding and clarity. If she didn’t have the answer she would find it. All the staff I met were friendly and helpful. Most staff remembered my name after only hearing it one time. This is remarkable with a name like mine!<br>So I’m eager for my next adventure to begin.

I moved my mother to Portside Aug of 2024. I was trying so hard to keep her in Asst Living that I was drawn in by its beautiful facility and glitz. Within 72 hours of getting her into her new apartment I was told she would have to move to Memory Care. I was lef to believe there would be round the clock supervision and quality on-site nursing staff. I quickly realized the facility "doctor" was not a doctor but either a PA or NP, I STILL don't know which Dr. Nikki is. It took me two weeks to get her last name...to the point I had to change mom's insurance. Within 6 months, my mother oresented with difficulty breathing that I learned only from visiting her and immediately taking her to the ER. She was diagnosed with A-fib and the MC nurse told me to not bring her back when the hispital wanted ti release her 48 hours later as "they did not [even have EMT's] on weekends and were not abke to care for her". What should Never have happened, as I later was told her breathing irregular had been noticed and not reported, went from a two day stay, to Seven. I arranged for her to move to another facility. She had a massive stroke within four months and passed away. This is a long post, but only the tip of what I wish I could share. If your loved one likes glitz, Great!...But if they need ANY medical care, This is Not the place for them. I Wish so badly I had read an honest review like this before I left her there. Two women in the short time we were in the ER had the same type of experience. Choose wisely and God Bless!
