Brightwater was my top favorite. They had everything and I loved it. They had indoor and outdoor pool facilities, a two-car garage, and every one of their independent living standalone had a golf cart. In the units, they had a full kitchen and a washer-dryer. They have a rehab place right there with licensed therapists so you don't have to go somewhere else to get rehab. The lady that took us around was professional. She was friendly, warm, and very knowledgeable about the facility. She made sure we had no questions when we left. We also had lunch there and the food was so good that I asked for more.

Brightwater is a nice facility. We ate there, and it was delicious. The facility was very clean and nice. The dining room was very well adorned and had nice decorations, with nice tables. We interacted with the residents, and most of them seemed very happy to be there. The staff was very cordial. They have a gym and a pool. If you get one of the outlying independent living places, they provide you with a golf cart to go back and forth to the dining room. They have all kinds of programs. They have a bar where you can chat. They have an activities director, and the activities are very well planned as well. You have to come up with a large sum of money to be admitted to Brightwater.

I thought Brightwater was very nice and it was well-kept. I know people who have been there and they're happy. It has everything because we know that my husband will need memory care at some point. They're addressing a real need and I can't believe how much it's grown. It's a good place because they keep building and building. It can't be a bad place, otherwise, people won't keep moving there. Everyone was wonderful, I have nothing bad to say about any of them. We only got to meet the head. We had dinner there and it was very, very nice. You have choices, the food was presented and done very well, and the dining room was very nice. I like the idea that they had an indoor pool. A lot of the apartments have patios or decks or porches. The layout was nice, the buildings all have elevators. Part of their guarantee as continuing care is that if you need the next level of care, you get it. They would take the residents to the theater. Someone I knew there needed to have her blood drawn every day, and they drew her blood every day. The whole area was built up unbelievable. The thing is, I don't want to buy-in. You're still paying a monthly fee, but you've given the money upfront that you're not gonna get back. The people I knew who lived there died, so their son said that somebody had to buy it for you to get any money out of it.

I was able to go to Brightwater, and I thought it was marvelous. It was very expensive. It was a very gorgeous place. If you have a lot of money, that's a pretty good place, but I've seen a lot better value.
Inviting and Accommodating From the Start

When my elderly sister was looking for a home in a retirement village that was a cut above the rest place, we knew Brightwater was a must-see for us. As we drove onto the campus, she commented that it immediately gave her a good feeling. Two staff members met and sat down with us to give a high-level followed by a more detailed account of what Brightwater was all about and what it had to offer its residents. The air was cordial and my sister felt very comfortable with staff and the session. We then toured the Independent Living part of the campus where we were shown all of the amenities such as the dining room, library and activity rooms. Once that was complete, we were shown the respective residential units that either were or would shortly be coming available. All the features and services were well covered as we progressed. When the tour segment was complete, we again gathered to discuss the financial aspects of becoming a resident so that, by the end of the visit, my sister had everything she needed to make the decision for her future. It was all very professionally carried out and the staff that we met with were both well informed and very easy to talk with. That is why, in our minds, Brightwater earned a 5-star rating.

My Mom moved in March 1 of 2020 just before the virus complications and the timing could not have been more perfect. Most of her family is over 600 miles away but because of the excellent communication, care from a fantastic staff and for so many other reasons I could not be happier with her decision to live at Brightwater. Many times, even with the distance, we feel that we are right down the hall. The important thing is she is very happy and gets so much support even as her hearing and sight declines. I know my Dad is smiling in heaven because she decided to live at Brightwater and remain in Myrtle Beach, a place she loves.

Looking for a not too big, but not too small, very friendly Senior Living Community? You must check out BRIGHTWATER in Myrtle Beach. We have lived here for 6 months and have made many friends. We enjoy the activities offered here, the trips off-campus, and the food!

I enjoy having indoor pool classes and look forward to warmer weather and sitting around the outdoor pool. The Brightwater member directory is very helpful to put names with faces. We have a small group to play Mah Jong and hope to get more members to join the fun. The bus will take us to the grocery store and the drivers help us with loading & unloading. There are many dining options to choose from and I still enjoy cooking myself in my villa’s full kitchen. I am looking forward to more social interaction after COVID is over.
Thankful, daughter

Caring, well managed, clean, environment. Couldn't choose a better place for a loved one. Exercise, swimming, movies, parties, happy hours, brunches...on and on. Exceptional staff!!
Beach Mama
Today we had the pleasure of visiting my mother during the COvid 19 new visitation schedule. It was the perfect set up to socially distance while getting to visit with my mother after several months if lock down. I cannot say enough good things about the way BW has handled this pandemic. They have kept the residents safe, well fed and entertained way beyond anyone's expectations. They have also been excellent with communication through out this medical crisis.

Chris and I moved from Connecticut to Brightwater in October 2016. In our 3 1/2 years here we have found it to be an extremely warm and caring place. The staff members, many of whom have unusually long tenure always go the extra mile to insure that we are well cared for. Particularly during the current pandemic they have done everything possible to insure that we are all safe. They have even been delivering our dinners each evening to keep us from having to gather unsafely.
It"s a great place to live.

Brightwater is a great place to live out your life! They care of you the way that no one else could. We moved to a 3 bedroom cottage on Oct. 1st, 2014 and have loved every minute of our time here!! The staff and services could not be better; the neighbors are awesome and very friendly! There is always something to do if you want to get involved. Did I mention that we love it!!

My Aunt’s experiences at Brightwater are always pleasurable. The facilities at Brightwater are meticulously maintained and the staff is always nice, friendly, and willing to provide any assistance that may be needed.
Before moving to Brightwater my aunt had been living all along in her home of 30 years in Little River, South Carolina. She had been reluctant to sell the house that her and her late husband had called home.
After moving into Brightwater, it was as if a new wave of emergency and happiness had come upon her. She started making new friends and attending the regular social events planned by Brightwater.
meals in the company of other lady friends she had made at Brightwater; instead of eating all along in her home.
Brightwater provides shuttle service to her doctor’s appointments, and any prescriptions that are needed are either picked up by the Brightwater staff, or
Additionally, she was able to enjoy her delivered to the front desk.
When my Aunt and I reminisce about the past and her decision to move to Brightwater, we both always say the same thing; it was the best decision she had made.

My husband & I moved into Brightwater almost 9 years ago. Brightwater is a wonderful place to live and all of needs are taken care of. The staff cares about you and how you are doing even as one of you needs a higher level of care. The Staff took such good care of my husband through the years. My husband loved his purple sunglasses from the Mardi Gras parade and if he was having a tough day, his nurses knew if they put the glasses on it would make him laugh! There are so many amenities that benefit our health. The WAVES program in the pool was one of my husband’s favorite activities, it allowed him to focus on getting stronger and healthy as long as possible. Anything you need, the staff will find a solution to make you comfortable and at home. There is wonderful entertainment for special occasions and sometimes just because it’s Brightwater. I can have my meals delivered to my villa on days I’m not feeling like going out. Thank you

I have lived at Brightwater for 5 years and have been able to maintain my independence. All my needs are taken care of by smiling staff that want to help me. I am encouraged to join in all activities. It is safe & healthy environment for your body & mind. I highly recommend this lifestyle and suggest you come and tour with our Member ambassor program. Make this decision for yourself so your family doesn't have to make it for you.

I have been living at Brightwater since April and life is wonderful, I was amazed how friendly everyone is. My daughter feels at home when she comes to visit. I was thrilled that Brightwater was pet friendly and my dogs enjoy going for walks. I stay very busy with activities & exercising. The lectures, classes and trivia are very informative, and I am even learning to play Mah Jong! Susan, Cassandra & Joan are excellent, and I really enjoy the WAVES program in the pool. The drivers are great, I was surprised that they take me wherever I need to go. Danay has such a great personality and he cares enough to check if I’m not there to go shopping. I enjoy cooking, but the food in the dining room is very good. Soups are out of the world and the desserts are phenomenal! Maintenance responds very quickly when I need help with something. I love living at Brightwater!

I live in Brightwater. It's wonderful, but they have no facilities for couples in assisted living. The food is wonderful. The place is great for independent living. They have independent, assisted living, and long-term care. I would stay here except for the assisted living facility since they have no combination for couples there.

This is absolutely the best place I visited before becoming a resident. In the three months that I have lived here I found the staff to be so
helpful in every way possible. I already feel healthier and happier and part of wonderful group of people. Wellness and social programs are more than I expected, dining experience is great. Again, the staff is wonderful from the time you walk in the door.

I had a very good experience with regards to my visit at Brightwater's independent living section. It was beautiful; an excellent facility. It didn’t look like a nursing home, it looked like a country club. The staff were very nice and extremely helpful. We saw a furnished one that was a model apartment. It was absolutely lovely and I could live there myself. They also provide bus service to doctors' appointments. Their dining room is beautiful. They have a salad bar and the food was lovely.
