Kempton of Charleston

Mom has been in memory care just less than a year. The 4th floor has become a very good place for her to live, and it's got a lot to do with Peyton Wheeler and her exceptional ability to work with the residents! Peyton personally knows residents, coworkers, and building staff- and connects them in a community of caring. She is friendly, approachable, professional, and thoughtful. She provides appropriate group activities and individualizes activities that she knows residents will enjoy. From puzzles to noodle ball to crafts to manicures to patio visits to van rides to therapy pets- Peyton is a fun group leader! I live out of town, and Peyton always greets me by name when I visit. We easily chat about my mom, goings-on at The Kempton and every day life. It's easy to notice that she pitches in with staff when needed without being asked. I really don't know how she relates so well with all the residents and their families! She's simply exceptional!

Our family’s experience with Kempton of Charleston has been wonderful! We felt my mother really needed to make a move and we feel so much more comfortable and secure now that she is a Kempton of Charleston resident. Lisa McLeod met with us more than once, gave us a comprehensive tour, answered our questions, and let us know when the right unit for us was coming available. Upon move-in, many staff came by to introduce themselves and offered their personal cell phone numbers, encouraging us to reach out with any concerns. We filled Mom’s spacious 1-BR apartment with her beloved furniture, pictures, & treasures and she feels right at home. After a few weeks of settling in, Mom is connecting with other residents and engaging in activities - of which there are many. The meals are delicious and the dining room beautiful. A special shout out to the 3rd floor staff who have worked with us to get Mom’s medication schedule & dosages all worked out. The people here truly care about her and that means the world to us!
