I come into contact with Home Care companies on a daily basis, and have had experiences with many of companies throughout Charleston. With my background in the community setting, I had the unique opportunity to watch these caregivers come, go, and do their jobs for my residents. I can say without a doubt, that the service provided by Commonwise is leaps and bounds above the normal. They put more time and effort into their hiring process than any other company, and it shows! The staff is exceptional! They always show up when scheduled, act and dress professionally, and actually interact with the sweet seniors for which they were providing care! When hiring a Home Care company to come into your home, or the home of a loved one, you want to be sure it's going to be a company who takes these extra steps to ensure that you have the best experience possible. Let me make it easy for you... Commonwise is your choice!

My rent is still below the market rate. Arlene forgot to tell you in her review of South Bay that when she had damage to her apartment, South Bay put her up in a nearby hotel until the damage was repaired and she could move back into her apartment. Retirement living is at it's best in South Bay. So many activities, good dining, and interesting programs to stimulate the mind. Of all the moves during my 80+ years, moving to South Bay is the best!

I have lived at SouthBay for 5 years. In that time, the development has fallen to greed by the…read moredevelopers. Last year, we were assessed a 10% rent increase, and they are doing that again this year, ostensibly to "bring everyone up to market prices". In the meantime, this has caused long-time residents to move out, rather than face an additional $2,000 a month rent. The property can do this, because it has a long waiting list of potential renters, to whom they could charge a higher rent. This policy has caused a great disruption in the resident community, as long time residents move out. The building and grounds, which are lovely, are not being maintained. The common areas are getting shabby, and the lawns are rutted with bare patches. Hallway carpets, except for the first floor, are soiled and need replacing. Residents have leaks and other problems to the original sub+par construction. Showers don't drain and holes develop. There is a humidity problem throughout the buildings. There are very few accessible options, such as self opening doors, even though there are many residents who use mobile accessories. In 2025, when Mount Pleasants's moratorium on apartments expires, SouthBay will begin construction on more units, , subjecting the current residents to great noise for the next few tears.

I called to inquire where they were at 4:30? Called again at 4:45 and was told the caregiver was stuck in traffic. Told them not to bother coming today. The next evening when the caregiver showed up she never made it inside my home because she is afraid of animals. During my initial "assessment" the director made that in her notes I had 2 cats. Needless to say I was left once again with no help, which was very much needed. I have used other home agencies in the past and never experienced these issues.
