Garden Manor Village sits near the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk and offers seniors apartment-style living with simple comforts and a community feel, and they've got one- and two-bedroom apartments that are pet-friendly, come unfurnished, and each has a full kitchen, private bathroom, and a washer and dryer, so you don't need to leave home to do laundry or worry about extra appliances, and you can look out on marsh views, green landscaping, and even some waterfront scenery. Residents get all utilities included in their rent, and the rent runs on an income-based system, so for people who worry about monthly bills or surprise charges, that's one less thing on the mind. There's one well-prepared meal served each day in the dining plan, and you can buy more meals if you want, while for those who enjoy cooking, the kitchens are all right there to use; meanwhile, weekly housekeeping and laundry services help keep things tidy.
For care, Garden Manor Village supports both independent and assisted living, which means some folks keep on just needing minor help, while others might need more assistance with dressing, bathing, or medications, and there's access to skilled nursing, in-home health services, and even therapy visits from occupational and physical therapists on a regular schedule, plus speech therapy. They offer Alzheimer's care for people who need memory support, so nobody's left behind when it comes to changing needs. The nursing staff is there all day and night if an emergency comes up, which a lot of families appreciate. There's a mix of services like medication management, companionship, hospice, respite, and psychiatric care available for those who need it.
For daily life, there's transportation for shopping trips and appointments, computer rooms for folks keeping up with email or grandkids, and spaces for social activities, so you're not stuck in your room unless you want some peace and quiet. The community has a swimming pool, a spa, a tennis court, a library, lounge areas, walking paths, and places for worship or meditation. Residents can get a haircut or see a barber on site without heading into town. People living at Garden Manor Village say there's a friendly atmosphere, with lots of chances to meet others in the neighborhood through planned group events and regular activities that help everyone keep busy and connected.
Management keeps the property safe, low-maintenance, and well cared for, and there's on-site manager Janet Brown who takes care of issues as they come up, and new residents work with a senior living counselor to make sure moving in feels smooth and comfortable. Garden Manor Village lets you bring a small pet for a fee, which makes a difference for animal lovers who don't want to leave their companion behind. The facility uses a non-refundable $1,500 processing fee along with first month's rent to reserve an apartment, and leases run for twelve months at a time. Bright independent living cottages offer airflow and easy access to green outdoor areas where people can enjoy fresh air and meet neighbors.
Garden Manor Village has earned awards for their meals, friendly staff, and activities, but more than awards, it's the steady, honest kind of place where people live with dignity, with help close by and privacy and quiet when needed, and they don't overpromise-you find what you need without a lot of fuss or flash.
