The Perfect Location
Conveniently located on the east side of Spartanburg, just across from Mary Black Memorial Hospital; Brookdale Skylyn has a country feel, but offers easy access to all that this area has to offer. Publix and Fresh Market are just minutes away, as are many medical office buildings.
The Chapman Cultural Center, located downtown, is Spartanburg’s center for all kinds of performing and visual arts, science and history. Here, residents can stroll through the Regional History Museum, the Spartanburg Science Center and SAM Art Gallery, where they can enjoy art exhibitions from international, national and regional artists.They can also attend performances at its two theaters, including the 500-seat David Reid Theatre and a classic black box theater for smaller productions. There are also several colleges in the immediate area, where residents are welcome to audit classes.
Should residents wish to travel outside of the area, we can easily take them to upstate South Carolina, just 30 minutes away, with its beautiful mountain scenery. The Bob Jones Museum of Art is in Greenville, 35 miles from our community. Greenville is also home to our residents’ favorite minor league baseball team, the Greenville Drive.

Our two and three-bedroom units also offer a screened-in or glassed-in open patio, and two full baths. Our community is pet friendly too!

We also offer a private parlor and a well-stocked library. Our Assisted Living residents also have their own Great Room for activities, relaxation and conversation with other community members.

Strong, Caring Professional Relationships
Here at Brookdale Skylyn, we offer the full range of physical, occupational and speech therapy services, provided by the Westin Group on-site. Of course, residents are welcome to use any other therapy provider in the area – it’s always their choice.
For our skilled nursing and memory care residents, we have a physician and nurse practitioner on staff that provide care on the premises. They are also welcome to see their own physicians. And every three months, a podiatrist provides care on-site for any resident needing foot care.
Should a resident require hospice, we can recommend many outstanding hospice providers in the area, which will provide services right in the resident’s own apartment.
Residents are also given a membership to Trinity Health and Fitness, located across the street.
Our Staff
Going beyond the call of duty, exceeding expectations, treating residents with the dignity they deserve are just a few of the caring attributes that our staff possesses. We are also well equipped to care for all of our residents, including those with serious health issues; with registered nurses, certified nursing assistants and med techs available.
Our Community Lifestyle
A Wonderful Active Lifestyle
Our full-time Life Enrichment Directors work extremely hard to offer a wide range of activities to suit just about every interest and personality.
Our independent residents enjoy many activities together – playing bridge, billiards and all kinds of games, from trivia to Skip Bo. They go out to lunch on a regular basis, get together to watch movies and attend church services in our own chapel. They also enjoy frequent outings – shopping, picnics, sight-seeing, and trips to the Chapman Cultural Center to enjoy a dance performance or live theater.
Our assisted living residents enjoy many of the same activities, but also get together for our daily exercise program, which includes Tai Chi. We also have all kinds of entertainers perform.
For our memory care residents , we offer Brookdale’s Clare Bridge Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care program, a Brookdale program designed specifically to help residents have success throughout the day. They are able to go to bed at night with an overall positive feeling. Memory games, gardening, daily exercise, musical programs and pet therapy are just a few of the activities we offer our memory care residents.
Partnering with the Local Neighborhood Community
We partner closely with the Spartanburg community, sponsoring a major community event every few months. Brookdale Skylyn also organizes events specifically to answer seniors’ concerns about a host of issues, from financial planning to long-term care insurance to veteran’s benefits. We bring in outside experts to address these issues and the Spartanburg community is always welcome to attend.
And of course, we work closely with the local Alzheimer’s Association chapter, participating in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We also host fund-raising events to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. In addition, our Memory Care Director leads a monthly support group for anyone – including family members and people from the community – dealing with a loved one who has a memory impairment.
Fine Dining
Our community has a total of six dining rooms. Everything is prepared right here. Our vegetables are fresh. Whenever possible, we use produce grown in our own garden. Residents are waited on just like in a restaurant, and can choose from one of two entrees at each meal. Independent residents also have a full salad bar. Breakfast offers all kinds of different choices daily, from eggs made-to-order to crispy waffles with bacon. Lemonade, cookies and fresh fruit are always available for all residents.
Memory care residents are provided the same great choices, as well as three major snacks a day to help prevent problems with weight loss. Fridays are “Crispy Crème Donut Day!” We also offer lots of finger food choices. Meals are served on colorful Fiesta ware, which makes it easier for residents to see the food on their plates.
