How these reviews were collected — and how we’re paid

  1. We interview residents and family members by phone, voice to voice — never web forms, never scraped from other sites.
  2. Every review is named and dated, and verified against the community’s current resident or family list before publishing.
  3. Reviews are published as given — including critical ones. The only scores or rankings we publish are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards.

How Lilisity makes money: some communities pay us a referral fee when a family we’ve helped moves in. That fee never changes a review, a rating, or who appears on this page — CMS ratings come from the federal government, and reviews come from residents.

Assisted living and memory care by city

Spartanburg senior living questions, answered

Most states, including South Carolina, offer a Medicaid waiver that covers care costs (not room and board) at participating assisted living communities for people who qualify financially and medically. Not every community accepts the waiver, so ask early. Veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for VA Aid & Attendance, worth up to roughly $2,300 per month toward care.

Assisted living provides housing, meals, and help with daily tasks like bathing and medications in an apartment setting, state-licensed and mostly private pay. Nursing homes (skilled nursing) provide 24/7 medical care, are federally certified and CMS-rated, and are typically paid through Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term-care insurance.

Every facility in the table above links to its full record — CMS star ratings, health-inspection findings, staffing hours per resident, and any fines or penalties, sourced from Medicare's Care Compare data. 2 Spartanburg-area facilities currently hold a 5-star overall rating.
