Okatie Pines Retirement Community
South Carolina

Highly recommend!! Cant say enough good things about Okatie Pines and RLC. Tamie and JR are such wonderful managers. I am not sure how they do it...ALL of the staff are so caring and amazing. My father has an absolutely amazing experience.

Okatie Pines is very nice. I think what we like the most is the way they do the dining. People can sit wherever they want; they're not assigned anywhere. They go where they want; it's very flexible. It's nice because it's all independent -- it's not assisted living -- and those two need to really be separate because people are very different in the independent versus the assisted. I don't think we should ever put those two together. The staff has been excellent. They really have done a good job. The menu is very good, they can choose different things, and they have a salad bar. They listen to the residents if they just want a little bit on their plate. They're just very careful to consider the residents' feelings. The place is beautiful. They have a very good movie theater, they have different activities, and I know my mom does participate in some of the activities there.

Okatie Pines is an outstanding community, such a beautiful perfect place for a person like me at my age of 90. It is independent living and the lifestyle is simply great. I cannot say enough about it, this is absolutely the perfect place, and my apartment is great. They provide three meals a day and the food is just outstanding. Sometimes we get visitors who can eat with us for lunch and dinner and even they can't believe how great the meals are, it 5-star restaurant quality. There is a bus service here, if you have a doctors appointment or want to go grocery shopping you just have to sign up downstairs and they will take you there. It is super convenient and the driver [name removed] is a terrific fellow. We have a theater that seats 150 people, on Sundays there have a church service, Thursdays at 11 AM they have a church service, and Saturdays afternoon at 4 PM they have a church service. Also everyday at 6:30 PM there is a movie showing.

The cleanliness of the community is great and the staff members are incredible. All of the workers cannot do enough for you, even if you ask for the smallest amount of help they come right away. The staff are always smiling, always happy, there is not a negative staff member at this community. The meals are amazing we have a wonderful staff, and the best activities they are great. The community is 3 stories with 128 apartments that range from studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom. Each apartment has different sized models, the 1 bedroom apartments have 4 different models, I believe the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments have 3 different models.

Outstanding services, fine food, great activities, well managed, great staff. We love living here. Friendly residents. The place is like a luxury hotel with services to match.

My husband and I are extremely happy that we chose Okatie Pines as our Retirement Facility. We love our apartment. It’s full of all of the amenities we need. Actually many days we feel as if we are a cruise. Each day is filled with a variety of activities such as working out, Bingo, table games such as Maj Jon and movies every evening. The entire staff is friendly and very accommodating. We love the dining facility. The meals are delicious and we have an excellent chef. Many special activities have planned for us. Such as a “beach party. an outdoor luau, a country hoedown, etc. These are very well attended and we have lots of fun. Our activity director is very creative and always has wonderful outings planned for everyone. All in all we couldn’t be happier. The whole management staff is to be congratulated.

The sunshine in the sunset of our lives.

Excellent service. Great food. Wonderful attitudes. Thanx to all of you!
