    Beautiful community with some concerns

    I moved my mom in and overall we're very pleased - the building is beautiful, hotel-like and light-filled, apartments are spacious, dining is delicious with dietary accommodations, and on-site services (medical, therapy, salon/spa, laundry) make life easy. The staff are consistently kind, attentive and professional; move-in assistance (Cricket/Tina standout) was seamless and the activities keep residents engaged. That said, I've seen troubling management lapses at times - medication/billing errors, some unfulfilled promises and occasional cleanliness/safety concerns - so stay vigilant. Still, for a high-end, family-focused community with excellent memory care options, I'd recommend it with those caveats.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews for Indigo Hall Assisted Living and Memory Care is mixed but leans strongly positive about the frontline caregiving, facility aesthetics, dining and activities. The most consistent praise centers on the staff — caregivers, med techs, housekeeping, front desk and several named employees (notably Cricket Masalin and Tina) are repeatedly described as compassionate, attentive, personal, and above-and-beyond. Many families report warm, friendly interactions, a sense that staff know each resident well, and a community atmosphere that encourages socialization. Move-in experiences and transitions — including for Memory Care — are frequently described as smooth, supportive and family-focused, with staff arranging medical screening and offering calming, accommodating transitions.

    Facilities and amenities receive widespread positive mention. Multiple reviewers describe Indigo Hall as new, bright, well-kept and high-end: light-filled apartments, attractive common areas, lovely and spacious dining rooms, and appealing indoor/outdoor spaces. Practical amenities praised include a weekly beauty shop / on-site salon and spa, on-site medical and therapy services, wheelchair accessibility, laundry service, free transportation for outings, and a variety of activity spaces (library, computer room, gardening areas). Many reviewers emphasize that the building feels hotel-like yet homey, and that the environment contributes to resident happiness and engagement. Memory Care is frequently singled out as secure and supportive, with staff pride and a helpful director noted in several reviews.

    Dining and engagement are strong themes. The food is commonly described as excellent, with a beautiful dining room and options for in-room dining. The activities program is extensive and well thought out — offerings include music therapy, guest speakers, a travel program, church services, exercise classes, crafts, yoga, gardening and specialized wheelchair exercise — and reviewers report that these programs keep residents active and connected. Many families said the lifestyle feels like a blessing and compared the experience favorably to high-end hospitality.

    However, the reviews also contain a set of important and recurring concerns that potential residents and families should consider. The most serious negatives are isolated but severe: multiple reviewers reported management and nursing leadership failures, safety concerns, neglect, and at least one account of a resident being hospitalized (including a burn unit hospitalization). Medication prescription errors and administration lapses were reported and described as having a tangible negative impact on residents’ quality of life; though in some of those cases staff reportedly responded quickly once problems were identified. Several families described having to intervene directly — including cleaning apartments themselves or advocating for basic bathing assistance — which signals lapses in consistent care delivery for some residents.

    Operational and administrative issues appear repeatedly. Billing problems are noted (overcharges and slow reimbursements), examples of contract changes and rate increases after move-in generate frustration, and some reviewers say the previously promoted all-inclusive pricing was altered or undermined by new fees. Communication lapses, lost laundry, and occasional slow responses to family inquiries are also mentioned. A smaller subset of reviews alleges pest problems (roaches, bedbugs) and food/cleanliness neglect; these accounts conflict with many other reports that describe the facility as very clean and well-maintained, indicating variability in experience or isolated incidents.

    In sum, Indigo Hall presents as a modern, amenity-rich assisted living and memory care community with a strong caregiving culture and a robust activities and dining program. Many families express high satisfaction: they praise the staff, the environment, the engagement opportunities and seamless transitions, particularly into Memory Care. Nevertheless, there are non-trivial and sometimes severe concerns around management consistency, clinical oversight (medication and nursing), billing and contract transparency, and occasional cleanliness or pest issues. These negative reports are less frequent than the positive ones but serious enough that prospective residents and families should proactively address them: ask for written details about medication administration and incident response protocols, review contract and fee structures thoroughly, request recent pest-control and inspection records, clarify bathing and personal care schedules, and establish communication expectations with management. Doing so can help families leverage the clear strengths of Indigo Hall while mitigating the notable risks described in some reviews.

    About Indigo Hall Assisted Living and Memory Care

    Indigo Hall Assisted Living and Memory Care sits at 509 Standard Way in Charleston, South Carolina, and while it's a newer-looking place, it still feels comfortable and homey, and people always talk about how friendly the staff are and how they try their best to help the folks living there. The community mainly gives support with assisted living and memory care, though you'll also see some services for independent living and nursing home care along with respite options for folks needing only short-term help or relief for caregivers. You'll find rooms set up as private, semi-private, companion suites, or shared spaces, which means seniors can pick what suits them and their budget. Staff help with day-to-day things like dressing, bathing, meals, medication, cleaning, and getting around, and there are always trained caregivers plus on-site nurses for things like wound care or occasional medical needs, which tends to give families a little peace of mind. For people needing memory care, there's a big focus on safety, structure, and routines, and they run special programs-Life Guidance and Bridge to Rediscovery-using Montessori-based methods designed for residents with dementia and Alzheimer's, offering memory-enhancing activities and therapies built around what a person likes and remembers from earlier in their life.

    This place wants to help seniors stay as independent as possible but step in where someone needs a little extra support, with set schedules filled with social events, group activities, creative workshops, and even spiritual programs, since not everyone wants the same things every day. There's an indoor swimming pool that's secure, a comfortable library, secured outdoor courtyards with walking paths and community gardens, and common areas like a bistro and café where snacks are always available, along with a beauty salon, sensory spa, scheduled rides into town, fitness rooms, and places to sit with friends or families. Safety is a big part of their setup too, with medical alert systems, walk-in tubs, handicap features, sprinklers, and steady watch routines, especially in the memory care area. You'll find on-site therapy, help with financial planning, and staff who've been trained in helping people with non-medical eldercare needs, and the community runs frequent tours and welcomes questions from families trying to work out what suits their loved ones.

    Meals are available all day, and many residents say the food's good, with staff getting a rating of about 4.5 and meals at 4.4. Overall reviews tend to mention a peaceful setting, friendly help, and a strong focus on folks with memory troubles, and the property offers WiFi, game rooms, regular housekeeping, personal laundry, and both in-room and communal TV, plus more. Because the team talks through contracts, moving plans, and payments, families can figure out what works for their own plans or emergencies, whether placement is needed immediately or later on, so if someone in the Charleston area needs help with daily living, memory loss, or just wants a worry-free place to live out their golden years, this place is ready to step in with attention to safety, routine, and each person's dignity and comfort.
