How to compare North Myrtle Beach communities

1. Tour at the same time of day at each community. Visit during a meal or activity, not a quiet hallway hour.
2. Ask for a sample monthly bill at the level of care you expect, including any one-time community fee.
3. Check the South Carolina DHEC license. Inspection reports are public record.
4. Plan for the next step. If memory loss is a possibility, find out which communities have memory care on the same campus.
