We recently had a loved one pass away while receiving hospice care at Foothills. She had resided in the Memory Care resident area for 4 years. The staff was attentive to her needs, especially as her issues progressed. She was assisted in bathing and dressing. Her meds were given properly. She was fed well balanced meals that were consistently prepared and presented in such a way as to encourage eating. And socialization and participation in events was always encouraged. After a terrible experience at Cascades in Greenville, we are so thankful that we moved her to Foothills to live out her days as happy and content as possible.

My mother in law was in independent living for 20 years at a large retirement home in Greenville, SC. As she aged, the retirement home just continued to grow and no one knew her name and there were no personal touches. We decided to move her to Foothills after her husband died because she wasn’t doing things on her own. Foothills is the most personable, loving, attentive atmosphere around! EVERY staff member knows her name and greets her. She is still in independent living and they encourage her to come to the cafeteria and bingo along with a multitude of other activities. They offer everything under one roof. She can even attend church on Sundays in the chapel. I could go on and on, but we feel SO fortunate to have her here and would encourage anyone that is looking into a retirement home to get on their waiting list!

This place is quite literally one of the worst places to send your family members to. The Healthcare management are one of the worst around and I have witnessed them treat their staff wrongly and the residents. My grandmother was in rehab there before and they act like they are better than everyone. 1 star rating solely due to the smotty attitude of the blonde woman who is over HC Ashlyn or whatever her names is. Wouldn't even recommend sending your dog there as long as she works there.

Thankfully, because of ones inadequate way of understanding what "rich in value" means, in order to successfully uphold a winning team. I feel having a positive well being is crucial for everyone to carry out and maintain positive experiences. I'm not impressed abd will take their ignorance at face value. Don't be so snobby and demeaning because all it does is loose your credibility.
