Overall Review of Waterstone On Augusta
common35 reviews mention this
Care teams are a major focus
Staff and nursing communication and support are a recurring theme in reviews.
Many residentsâ families describe the staff as kind, caring, and responsive, including nursing leadership and day-to-day caregivers. Several reviews also highlight communicationâfamilies say they receive updates or that help is available when concerns come up. A minority of reviews, however, describe breakdowns in follow-through, slow response times, missed medication delivery, or higher-level staff not returning messages, and a few residents report understaffing. Residents also describe safety routines like locked doors and feeling comfortable and safe in the building.

Dining gets strong mentions overall
Food quality stands out, with both strong praise and occasional requests for variety.
Food is frequently described positively, with reviews calling it excellent, amazing, or more like home-cooked meals. Several residents and families mention liking the menu options and restaurant-style dining experience, including dining room meals that feel social. On the other hand, a few reviews describe the food as not very tasty or lacking variety, and one review is specifically critical of overall food quality.
common21 reviews mention this
Activities and outings are part of life
Residents and families regularly mention activities, trips, and community events.
Reviews often describe an active calendar, including scheduled activities, outings, and faith-based services, plus group events like karaoke and movie nights. Several residents specifically mention favorites such as pet therapy days and continued involvement once they feel settled. Some reviews note the variety may be limited for certain preferences or that activities are less robust on the memory care side. Still, most activity-related comments point to engagement beyond just the common areas.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Memory care availability can disappoint
Memory care experiences include concerns about fit and staffing.
At least two reviews describe problems related to memory care, including concerns that the unitâs capabilities were oversold and that residents had to move out. Staffing support is also mentioned as an issue on the memory care side, with one reviewer describing insufficient supervision. While other families report being able to manage dementia care without relying on memory care, these two reviews are the clearest cautions about that pathway.
caveat3 reviews mention this
Costs are a recurring question
Pricing is discussed both as affordable for the area and as unusually high.
Some families say the overall cost and affordability are strong, especially in relation to being in downtown Greenville. At the same time, multiple reviews raise cost concerns, including a complaint about rent charges and another stating the rent is very high. One negative review also connects financial priorities to staffing and care experience, making cost feel tied to operations.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Building size can affect navigation
The multi-level layout is mentioned as a potential navigation challenge.
A couple of reviews note the facility is multi-level and express concern about getting disoriented or not finding areas easily. One reviewer describes long hallways without clear signage, and another says the three-level setup didnât feel right for a resident who disorients easily. Other reviews discuss cleanliness and comfort in the building, but these navigation-related comments are the specific caveats that stand out.
