    Highly recommend compassionate attentive staff

    I placed my father here and have been impressed - the caregivers are compassionate, unit managers and DON/ADON are attentive, wound care is excellent, and care-plan communication is proactive. New management is making positive changes; staff give personal attention and I strongly recommend this community.

    Summary of reviews

    The reviews present a mixed picture of care at this facility. Positive elements include attentive unit leadership, capable wound care, and nursing leadership (DON/ADON) who are described as caring and communicative around care plans. Several families praised hands-on caregivers and instances of personalized attention, and some provided strong recommendations based on those experiences. At the same time, there are recurrent operational concerns that prospective residents and families should evaluate closely before placement.

    Care quality appears inconsistent. While specialized clinical services such as wound care receive favorable comments, other reports describe delays in responding to clinical needs and call lights, as well as gaps in routine monitoring that some families associated with clinical decline after admission. Concerns about care transitions also appear: a few accounts note that outcomes improved after transfer to other facilities, suggesting variability in how clinical changes are detected and managed. Families should ask about monitoring protocols, staffing ratios, and escalation procedures during a tour.

    Staffing and interpersonal conduct show contrasting impressions. Many reviewers singled out compassionate CNAs and unit managers; however, others described poor responsiveness to family inquiries, restricted or unreliable phone access, and interactions perceived as dismissive. There are also indications of low staff morale and abrupt personnel changes, which can affect continuity of care. Confirming the facility’s staff turnover data, training programs, and family-communication policies would be prudent.

    Dining and activity programming were areas of concern for some families. Comments point to inconsistent meal quality and portioning along with limited engagement for residents with cognitive impairment. Several reviewers questioned the facility’s understanding of dementia-specific needs and the availability of tailored activities; families should request menus, sample activity schedules, and information about dementia training for staff.

    Facility environment and safety issues were raised repeatedly. Reviewers noted maintenance shortfalls, cleanliness and odor concerns in rooms and common areas, and pest-control issues. There are also allegations of missing personal items and reports indicating unsecured doors or exits. Together these items suggest weaknesses in facilities management, environmental services, and property-security processes. Prospective families should inspect resident rooms, common areas, and security measures in person and ask about pest-control contracts, cleaning schedules, and lost-item policies.

    Management practices show both improvement potential and areas needing oversight. A transition to new management and examples of proactive care-plan communication were cited positively, yet other comments describe problematic management actions, abrupt staff terminations, and calls for stronger regulatory oversight. Given these mixed signals, prospective residents and families should request current licensing and inspection records, inquire about complaint-resolution processes, and meet with nursing leadership to understand how concerns are tracked and remediated.

    Overall, this facility demonstrates strengths in specific clinical services and in pockets of compassionate caregiving, but reviewers also identified multiple operational weaknesses—especially around cleanliness, responsiveness, facility upkeep, security, and dementia care. Families evaluating this community should perform an in-person tour, observe staff–resident interactions, review recent inspection reports, and ask targeted questions about staffing levels, communication practices, clinical monitoring, environmental services, and dementia-specific supports.

    About Carlyle Senior Care

    Carlyle Senior Care at 133 W. Clarke Road in Florence, South Carolina, serves as both a private nursing home and a skilled nursing facility, and you know, the place is set up for seniors who can't live safely at home anymore and need around-the-clock care, because they've got 24-hour nursing and care teams, plus you see folks there getting help with bathing, dressing, eating, daily activities, and they've got medication management with licensed staff giving out medications and keeping track of things so nothing falls through the cracks. The building has private and semi-private rooms, and they really encourage residents to decorate their rooms so it feels more like home, which helps folks settle in and feel comfortable, and you see options for group activities, movies, reading, church services, and other things like beauty and barber services if you want to keep up with your hair or just feel a little pampered, and the staff offer both scheduled group activities and chances to do things on your own, which some people prefer.

    This place offers both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation if you've had an injury or illness, and they have physical, occupational, and speech therapy on-site, so you can get the help you need without leaving the building, and there's family and caregiver training and support too, because it's hard on everyone, not just the people living there. Meals and snacks are planned by dietitians and made to fit the needs and likes of each person, with three meals a day plus snacks, and there are special diets for those who need them. Housekeeping and laundry are all part of the package, and you can get extra support with memory care programs if that's needed, along with end-of-life care in a calm environment. Carlyle Senior Care meets requirements for Medicare and Medicaid, they've got a way to safely store and give out medications, and you see support for everything from the active, more independent folks to people who need more hands-on or intermediate care, including those needing rehabilitation between a hospital stay and going back home. They're known for a home-like, warm, and welcoming environment, and they say their approach combines professionalism with a personal touch, which is important because people want to feel cared for like people, not just patients. There are restorative care services for keeping up as much function as you can, and you get the feeling they really do put focus on both the health and the well-being of each resident, with an administrator named Jeremy Locklair overseeing the place, and the scores people have given-a 1.7 based on 7 reviews-show there's room for improvement, which is something to keep in mind when making choices about where to live or where to take someone who needs care.
