About Kauhale Pettigru

A Wonderful Retirement Tucked away in the heart of historic Greenville, our assisted living and memory care community often feels more like a family reunion than a traditional senior living experience. This is the place where you can enjoy everything you need for a wonderful retirement. From a custom care plan designed to meet your specific needs to an action-packed community calendar full of events and activities, you may find yourself wondering why you didn't make this move sooner. Life looks a little different for everyone depending on which community they join, but everyone experiences the same wonderfully fulfilling lifestyle. If you move into our assisted living community, prepare to indulge in all kinds of fascinating events and programs. From morning yoga classes and book clubs to live music performances and shopping outings, you can spend your days however you wish. We even go on regular excursions to local destinations like the Greenville Zoo, Artisphere, Falls Park on the Reedy and the Greenville County Museum of Art. For our treasured memory care seniors, we provide a little more structure and routine. Your loved one will participate in multiple programs a day as part of our signature Clare Bridge program. Designed specifically for men and women with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, each activity promotes cognitive retention while inspiring confidence and social interaction. Your family member can join age-appropriate fitness and music therapy classes or participate in things like flower arranging workshops and trivia games. With gentle guidance and encouragement from our team, our memory care seniors enjoy a rich and fulfilling life. Each of our residents also has access to a wide range of services and amenities, including: *Spacious accommodations that feel and function like a home *Personalized care plans designed to meet your specific needs *Community calendar full of enriching events, programs and activities *Three delicious meals a day served in a restaurant-style dining room *Care team available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Because we know how stressful a transition can be, we work with you to provide everything from financial expertise to moving services. We'll also work together to create a personalized care plan that meets your specific needs. And if you needs change in the future, you don't have to worry about relocating to a different community. We can easily make a few adjustments to your plan and you can continue enjoying a full and active life right here. For added peace of mind, our care team is also available on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Kauhale Pettigru

They keep families informed of any changes to the residents. They will call you to discuss changes or just updates or if the resident is in need of anything. They answer emails in a timely manner, so that is very helpful. They are very kind to my mom and make sure she is doing well. During check in, they go over everything and will answer any and all questions.

Our experience

Staff are very pleasant and seem good with the residents. However I don't see a lot of interaction. They don't have an activities director, as i would like to see more frequent activities for the residents. The administration is a bit difficult to contact.

Horrible

This place is horrible, I wouldn’t send my worst enemy there. Our mother was in the Alzheimer’s unit for less than 2 weeks. She was sent to the hospital after an altercation and they told us she wasn’t allowed back in Pettigru. How horrible to treat a human this way, especially one with dementia. Please make sure you look into other places as this one was terrible.

Bad management, incompetent workers, unsafe conditions

Management has bad attitudes and don't care about the residents and need more training, some of the staff is not trained properly and shouldn't be medtechs especially with the responsibility of giving residents medicine, Mom stated several times she didn't receive her medicine; prices are too expensive for the care they are providing. Building is in bad shape with leaks, building roof collapsed, water damage, dont understand how building is still open. Removed my mom from this place and wouldn't recommend nobody to
