I visited this facility

It was real nice, but my mother ended up having to go to skilled nursing, and they don't offer that. It was the nicest one I've been in. It's modern looking and clean. The staff was real nice and friendly, and it felt homey. The dining room was nice, spacious, and well lit. I was impressed.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My parents are living at The Commons at The Willows, and they're happy there, but it doesn't have skilled nursing. The rooms are slightly undersized. They do bingo, exercises, field trips, groups come in and sing, and there's always something going on. The food used to be better before the new management. They have a large dining room, a small dining room for special occasions, there are TV rooms in both wings, and patio furniture out on the front covered porch. They have a beauty salon, somebody comes and does haircuts and permanents, and another one comes and does their nails.

Care Cost Comparison

Aside from location, the type of care required also has a major impact on the cost of senior care in the area. Nursing home care in Easley is almost double the average monthly cost of assisted living. Families can experience slight financial relief if homemaker or home health aide services are needed, with savings of about $80 per month.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Easley

Medicaid in South Carolina

Medicaid is a federal- and state-funded health insurance program available to all Americans with limited income and assets. In South Carolina, Medicaid is known as Healthy Connections and administered through the state’s Department of Health and Human Services.

South Carolina Medicaid offers specific assistance programs for different levels of care. The Home and Community Based Services program provides services to eligible seniors in their home, for adult day care or when living in an assisted living facility.

To qualify, individuals must have a monthly income below $2,313 and $2,000 or less in assets. For married couples, the limits are $4,626 in income and $4,000 in assets. Certain assets are excluded, such as a primary residence valued at less than $585,000, one vehicle, household furnishings and jewelry.

Seniors in South Carolina who require a nursing home level of care also may be eligible for the Community Long-Term Care (CLTC) waiver. This program is designed for those who need the services normally received in a nursing home but would prefer to remain living in their home or community.

Services offered to eligible seniors can include:

  • Companion services
  • Case management
  • Assistance with daily living activities
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Disposable medical supplies
  • Nutritional supplements
  • Personal emergency response system
  • Adult day care
  • Community residential care/assisted living


More information about the South Carolina Medicaid program and CLTC waiver can be obtained by calling the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services at (888) 847-0908.
