    Very pleased overall, with caveats

    I live here and overall I'm very pleased - attentive staff, excellent food, lots of activities, spotless grounds, strong rehab/therapy, pool/gym, on-site clinicians, transportation and reasonable fees with a move-in incentive. Communication and billing have been inconsistent, the dining room is crowded (they're expanding), and memory care/staff quality can vary. Construction noise and some frustrating policy changes were annoying. For me the positives outweigh the negatives, but I'd advise checking memory care, staffing consistency and billing details before committing.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is mixed but leans positive regarding day-to-day care, amenities, and the campus environment, while revealing recurring concerns about management decisions, policy changes, billing transparency, staffing consistency, and a small number of serious care incidents.

    Care quality and staff: Many reviews strongly praise the staff across multiple levels of care. Countless comments describe caregivers, CNAs, nurses, therapists and rehabilitation staff as compassionate, attentive, and resident-focused. Reviewers repeatedly name individuals and teams (for example: Libby, Alashia, Jim, Trina and others) as exemplary and instrumental in transitions and recoveries; accounts describe family-like bonds forming between staff and residents and successful, intensive rehab outcomes. The rehabilitation center is highlighted often as a strength — with dedicated rehab staff, effective physical therapy programs, on-site skilled clinicians, and many reports of mobility improvement and successful recoveries. That said, several reviews report inconsistent care: understaffing, slow responses to call buttons, delayed medications, missed meals, or inadequate attention to personal care. A minority of reviews include serious allegations — rough handling, failure to address possible infections, or unprofessional interactions — which contrast sharply with the predominantly positive caregiver descriptions and suggest variability in staff performance or supervision.

    Facilities, amenities and activities: The campus and buildings receive widespread praise. Reviewers describe Rolling Green Village as clean, well-maintained, and attractive, with beautiful landscaping, walking-friendly exteriors, and well-kept cottages and patio homes. Amenities cited repeatedly include an indoor pool, full exercise/wellness center, therapy pool, library, scheduled group exercises, communal dining areas, transportation services (bus to grocery stores, theater and appointments), and multiple fishing ponds. The community offers a wide variety of housing types — apartments, cottages, townhouse units, and single-family patio homes — and is pet-friendly. Activity programming is described as rich and varied: bingo, church services across denominations, trips, live music, and a busy activity calendar. These features consistently contribute to positive resident experiences and a country-club-like atmosphere reported by many families.

    Dining and nutrition: Dining is one of the strongest recurring positives. Many reviewers describe the food as excellent or phenomenal — restaurant-quality meals, varied menu options, and accommodating dietary needs. Comments note the ability to customize portions and the enjoyment residents derive from meal-time socialization. However, dining policies and administrative decisions have produced friction: several reviews highlight a dining points policy that prevents guests or family members from using resident dining points and a rule that residents will be billed for guest meals, which families perceived as punitive. A few reviews also mention limited dining room capacity (particularly when memory or assisted units were expanded) and a planned expansion of dining facilities.

    Management, policies and billing: A major pattern in the negative feedback concerns management decisions and policy changes perceived as petty or financially motivated. Specific examples reported by multiple reviewers include removal of package deliveries to residents’ doors, removal of magazines from common areas, and taking away a Keurig machine during renovations — changes described as making common spaces feel sterile rather than lived-in. Several families expressed frustration over opaque billing practices, such as a recurring $400/month internet/cable/community fee that was not clearly explained and resistance from administration to negotiate or clarify charges. While some reviews acknowledge professional and gracious administrative staff, others describe poor leadership, unwillingness to discuss complaints, or unempathic managers. A few reviews go further, alleging profit-driven behavior and decisions that have negatively impacted resident morale.

    Safety, communication and specific incidents: Multiple reviews mention COVID-related lockdowns and visitor restrictions as sources of stress; those periods are described as difficult for residents and families. Separately, some reviewers report troubling safety or professionalism incidents — missing personal items (a cane), alleged theft, reports of rough handling by named staff, or poor response from management during hospitalizations. There is also at least one report referencing a serious administrative/regulatory concern (a one-star Medicare rating referenced by a reviewer) and an account of an offered room being unprofessionally withdrawn. These are isolated in the context of many positive reports but are significant because they point to lapses in safety oversight or communication in certain situations.

    Construction and campus disruption: Multiple reviewers note ongoing construction or expansion projects. While many accept growth and expansion as signs of investment, a number of families described construction noise (early mornings, weekends), dust, and building vibrations that disrupted residents’ peace and enjoyment during what should be quiet years. Some found this tolerable and temporary; others felt it significantly diminished quality of life while work was underway.

    Variability by unit and experience: A consistent theme is variability. Many reviewers describe outstanding experiences in independent living, assisted living, and especially rehab services. Conversely, a subset of reviews portrays memory care or particular nursing shifts as less reliable or even problematic. Several reviewers mention that experiences differ by time period, by shift, or by specific staff members; this suggests that overall institutional strengths coexist with gaps in consistency, hiring, training, or oversight.

    Net assessment and takeaways: Rolling Green Village offers a high-quality built environment, robust amenities, excellent dining, rich programming, and many compassionate, skilled caregivers — particularly notable in rehab and therapy services. These strengths lead many families to highly recommend the community. However, potential residents and families should be aware of recurring concerns: management policy changes that affect daily comfort, billing transparency issues, occasional understaffing and care lapses, construction-related disruption, and isolated but serious allegations about handling and communication. Prospective residents should tour during different times of day, ask specifically about recent staffing levels, policy changes (package delivery, dining points, guest policies), billing and fees, and seek references from current families in the specific care unit they are considering (independent vs assisted vs memory vs rehab). This will help weigh the generally strong care and amenities against the documented inconsistencies and administrative concerns reported by multiple reviewers.

    About Rolling Green Village

    Rolling Green Village sits on 175 acres in Greenville, South Carolina, and you can spot its lakes, walking trails, and lots of green space the minute you arrive, and when people visit, the residents and staff wave, say hello, and make newcomers feel welcome right away. The community started about 25 years ago and people say it's earned a reputation for being a good place for retirement living, and that comes across in everyday life, whether you're strolling the paved paths, fishing for bass and brim in the lakes with the catch-and-release program, or just watching the geese by the water. It's a Life Plan Community, sometimes called a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means you can live independently but have the option to get more care as you need it, so spouses or friends can stay near each other if one's health changes, and the health center's highly rated and offers assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehab-all right on the same property.

    The place feels peaceful and friendly, with a not-for-profit, Christian mission and a non-denominational faith-based approach that doesn't push any one faith but gives a sense of purpose, and a board of local business leaders oversees how things run, with Life Care Services in charge of management. People here spend time however they want, joining in on recreational activities like shuffleboard, social outings, and art in the creative studio with its kiln, or taking exercise classes in the indoor saltwater pool or using the cardio equipment at the wellness center, and the club room, billiards room, library (with the bookmobile rolling up every other Monday), and residents lounge are always open for people to visit or read. There's a sunroom, screened porch, courtyard, golf course, club room, and community calendar with quarterly educational classes and upcoming events, plus planned transportation for getting around or making it to doctor appointments at local hospitals-their preferred vendors, they call them.

    Residents pick from a variety of living options, whether it's patio homes, cottages, or apartments, with choices of studio, one, two, or three bedrooms, and most units come with private bathrooms, kitchens with stocked cabinets, patios or balconies, extra storage, washers and dryers, emergency call systems, and cable or satellite TV service, which people find convenient for daily life. The new expansion will add 128 more independent living apartment homes, cottage homes, and something they call hybrid-style carriage homes, and each one lets folks enjoy the outdoors and scenic views right out their door. Some folks like independent living, others might need RGV Home Care, adult day care, or memory support, and everyone pays only for the care they use since Rolling Green Village uses a fee-for-service model, not a big buy-in plan. The licensed area runs on a monthly fee of $4,500 and the health center is Medicare licensed, so medical care is always available if it's needed.

    There are four dining venues where residents eat, with the main dining room described often as outstanding by those who've eaten there, and the kitchen staff keeps things varied. Some enjoy the creative arts studio for crafts and painting, and the outlook onto the courtyard or lakes makes the place feel open and relaxing. The faith-based but non-denominational culture means the community welcomes all, and there's always a friendly face nearby. For those looking to plan a visit, there's a "Community" area for guided in-person tours, a calendar of social events, and a community gallery stocked with photos showing what life's like both inside and outdoors. Rolling Green Village tries to make day-to-day life easy, offering maintenance-free living, wellness programs, and a calendar full of ways for residents to stay active, meet neighbors, or just unwind while feeling safe in a gated environment.
