It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Old Greenville County Courthouse Building in Greenville, SC gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Greenville, SC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.
The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life.

“I cannot say enough good things about Always Best Care. After my mother who has Parkinson’s Disease fell and broke her back, Bruce was there for me to give advice on rehabilitation hospitals and eventually hospice care. His knowledge was invaluable to me. After rehab, Holly got us scheduled with 24/7 care at my mother’s memory care facility. The entire staff has been very easy to communicate with, and they also communicated well with the caregivers at her facility. The caregiving staff have become friends to me and my mother. They all have been very reliable, kind and caring to my mother. The most important thing is that my mother felt safe in their care. I would highly recommend Always Best Care Senior Services for your caregiving needs.”
“I would like to take the time and say I have been a CNA for 21+ years and in all of the in care facilities and home health agencies i have worked for, always best care is the best. The staff is knowledgeable and respectful. If you are thinking about working with them, you will fall in love. If you are weighing options for your loved ones, you will absolutely be in love with the staff and care that your loved one will receive. Hands down best company by far. There is absolutely no pressure. Always Best care is very professional ????”
“Great company to work for and its just like home. The best place I have worked since moving to Greenville. Love each one of the ladies in the office and Bruce is AWESOME.....”
“Bruce at Always Best Care was amazing to work with. He was patient and understanding of my dad's reluctance to accept assistance. When my dad finally agreed to assistance, it was over the weekend and it was an emergency situation. Bruce assembled a team, working through the weekend, to assist my dad as quickly as possible. Before the team was able to come help my dad, he suffered chest pains and was admitted to the hospital. Sadly, he passed away four days later. Nonetheless, Bruce was there with me every step of the way offering support and advice to ensure my dad received the best care in the hospital. Though we never got to use Bruce's services, I would 100% hands down recommend using them if your loved one needs care and support. They are professional, compassionate, and truly care about their clients--even when they aren't yet clients. You won't find a more dedicated team to ensure your loved ones are cared for.”
“my experience with this company has been amazing !! I absolutely love my employer’s the best job I’ve ever had ! The way they care for their clients and employees is incredible! If you are looking for employment or anywhere for your loved ones to be held under excellent always best care is definitely the place to be”
“Working for Always Best Care was a blast! The schedule coordinator is only a phone call day or night. The learning environment is wonderful I never felt stupid asking questions. This is the best care company anyone could work for! It’s great to know that the company has your back. 10/10 recommend!”
“Today is our owner Bruce Meyer's birthday. Some of our amazing caregivers came by to show him how much he means to all of us. Happy Birthday Bruce and thank you for being such a awesome boss and friend to us all. We truly love you!”
“Always Best Care (ABC) is the best health care place to work at! It was never just a job for me, it was so much more than that! You become so close to each other like family! The employees work as a team which makes it so much enjoyable! Thank you for all you’ve done for me ABC!!!”
“I was looking for 24 hr home care for my mother who was living alone after my Dad's passing. My mother also had Dementia. ABC was recommended by her PCP. I was immediately impressed with my 1st meeting with their Senior Program Coordinator. She took detailed notes about the daily routine. My mind was set at ease when she explained their COVID protocols which included wiping down surfaces, mask requirements and unannounced periodic supervisor check-ins on caregivers. Daily each caregiver maintained meticulous documentation on my mother's daily routines - when she got up - what she ate. They also handled mail sorting and other sensitive confidential information. I was particularly impressed with the professional and caring demeanor of the caregivers. Shift changes overlapped allowing caregivers time to share pertinent information and there was often training from senior caregivers to junior team members about handling transfers and safety. ABC is a first class well run home care providing company.”
“Always best care is a great company to work with! Holly is great at getting back to you and changing hours for the caregivers as needed, Bruce constantly is checking in to make sure the family has a support they need, and the caregivers go over and beyond!”
“Excellent company and employees. They always go above and beyond to make sure clients and coworkers needs are met.I have worked for this company for 23 years and I recommend this company for anyone looking for extra help for their loved ones.”
“The company is amazing, in my whole heartedly honest opinion. I've been working there for over a year and the office has always been there when I needed them. Bruce Meyer and Holly Jones are top notch in the office and work to help us caregivers/CNA's as well as our clients.”
“Always Best Care really lives up to its name! Bruce and Holly were incredible and gave consistent and professional care for our family member and went above and beyond on many occasions. I would recommend them heartily!!”
“”
“When my father fell and broke his arm, we needed help quickly as my mother has Alzheimers. We meet with Bruce on Monday and by Wednesday, we had caregivers in the home 7/24. I've been a recruiter for 22 years and I know that finding good people is hard work. ABC has some fantastic employees and they have been a welcome addition to the home during this transition to Assisted Living. Bruce and his team answered our call day and night and responded quickly and professionally. There are always bumps when you are starting a new project, but it's how you handle them that is important. I have the utmost respect for Bruce and his team and I recommend them if you need care for a family member.”
“So I have known Bruce Meyer for quite some time now. He came at a time where I was struggling to find a job. God sure does work in amazing ways. He was the reason I said yes to the job. It wasn’t just another interview where they just hired anybody. It was a place where I could feel comfortable and not nervous and leave the “interview” knowing I had found a wonderful place to work for. I’ll never forget that day when I agreed to take it because of the words he spoke to me. He said “God is calling you to walk through the doors. “ That alone will tell you how wonderful he is and the care that he gives to those he believes is a good fit for the job. I have been working for Always Best Care since September of 2020. Ever since I started I knew I was in the right hands with the best company I could have ever asked for. They go above and beyond to give exceptional care/ support to the clients, families, and staff.I have heard nothing but positive feedback from anyone I come In contact to that receive their services. I am truly blessed to call this not only my job but my family.”
“My wife is a recent former client of Always Best Care. The only reason we are no longer using their services is she was approved for Medicaid. Bruce was great during his initial visit to find out my wife's needs. They were able to provide an aide very quickly. Cortney, the supervisor nurse, is awesome and went above and beyond. When an aide couldn't make it, they had someone else ready. All of the aides have been fantastic and will be missed.”
“I’ve work for this company for about a month now. We are a family with our client’s as our main priority!! The name doesn’t lie we Always give the Best Care, you won’t regret your decision with ABC.”

“I am a current client of this provider I was recently in a motor vehicle accident and found myself needing 24 hour care. Always best care provided services for me for about 2 months. I feel like all the caretakers we’re capable and caring they certainly were a great help to me from cooking, to light cleaning, walking my dog, and helping with various needs I had. I would definitely recommend ABC for caretaking services!”
“I personally love working at Always Best Care! Bruce, the owner, not only cares about our clients but he also cares about the employee's.

Our mom looked forward to the daily visits. We choose a non-fri schd of 8am - 12pm. When she later moved to more 24 hr nursing home requirements, her caregivers continued to stay in touch and became part of our extended family. Always Best Care will Always be our first option!

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Legacy Park in Greenville, SC with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Rick Erwin's West End Grille or visit The Wyche, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Greenville, SC, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Greenville, SC understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Greenville, SC 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

True Heart Insurance is raising awareness about a significant but often overlooked issue that puts many insurance policyholders at risk: data-mismatch requests from the Marketplace. Failure to address these requests properly can result in the removal of tax credits and eventual policy cancellation, creating unexpected gaps in coverage for individuals and families.
Since establishing their practice in 2013, True Heart has grown to become a trusted insurance resource for both English and Hispanic communities throughout the Upstate of South Carolina. Their growth has been fueled by strategic radio advertising, an active social media presence, and strong client referrals.
"Most people don't realize how serious a simple administrative oversight can become," warns Joshua Dixson, founder of True Heart Insurance. "As an independent insurance broker in Greenville, SC, I've seen too many cases where clients from other agencies lost coverage because data-mismatch notices weren't properly addressed or deadlines weren't extended in time."
True Heart's approach includes vigilant monitoring of these potential issues, with staff dedicated to tracking documentation requirements for clients. This proactive stance has helped the agency establish itself as one of the top health insurance in Greenville, SC providers, with a reputation for thorough client protection.
The agency's personalized enrollment process allows them to identify potential issues before they become problems. "When I sit down with clients as their insurance broker in Greenville, SC, I make sure they understand not just their policy details, but also the ongoing requirements to maintain coverage," Dixson explains. "This level of education is often missing in the standard enrollment process."
Each year, as carriers adjust their plans and pricing structures, the True Heart team guides clients through reassessment to ensure optimal coverage. This annual review process has become especially important as new carriers enter specific counties, creating significant rate fluctuations that an insurance company in Greenville, SC must carefully navigate with clients.
For individuals concerned about potential data-mismatch issues with their current policies or seeking more proactive insurance management, True Heart Insurance offers complimentary consultations. Visit https://www.trueheartinsurance.com/ to schedule a review of your current coverage and ensure your policy remains secure.

GREENVILLE — The world’s largest bank is expanding its capacity for mid-size companies across the Palmetto State.
JPMorganChase plans to increase its banking staff across South Carolina and coastal Georgia by 50 percent next year, executives said.
“The goal is to cover the entire state,” said Trey Hamilton, a market executive with JPMorganChase.
The bank entered the state as an expansion market, said Scott Nicholson, a market executive with JPMorganChase. Now, they have an established foothold.
“We see a lot of growth coming in the coming years in South Carolina and coastal Georgia, and that's the reason we're here,” Nicholson said. “We want to support the growth of businesses in the region and be a resource on the depository side, on the lending side, really to be an advisor to business owners.”
The firm has embarked on a broader plan to open more Chase Bank retail branches across the Palmetto State, starting with its first in Clemson in 2019.
Between strong lending opportunities and investment banking, Hamilton said they see an opportunity to bring in entrenched businesses and new companies, concentrating on middle market banking, with a particularly high number of mid-sized companies in the Greenville-Spartanburg region.
“We’re committed to our expansion in the Southeast, and South Carolina is a key part of that strategy,” Hamilton said. “As we're growing this expansion, right, we will continue to invest in the state. What that looks like is to be determined at this point.”
The expansion on the commercial and investment banking side comes a few months after a slew of executives, including longtime JPMorganChase and Co. chairman Jamie Dimon, visited Chase Bank’s Falls Park branch.
During that event, Jennifer Roberts, CEO of consumer banking with Chase, told The Post and Courier that the bank plans to nearly double its number of branches by 2027.
Chase's goal is to open enough branches to be within an accessible drive time to three-quarters of the U.S. population in the lower 48 states, Roberts said. An added goal is to be within an accessible drive time for 50 percent of the population in each state.
South Carolina is one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S., with more than 1 million newcomers expected to move in by 2042. Four of the 12 fastest-growing cities in the state are in the Greenville area, including Woodruff, the second-fastest.
Much of that growth, especially in the Upstate, is coming from major U.S. metropolitan areas. Compared to before the pandemic, people moving to Greenville are wealthier and come from an array of origin cities compared to the previous concentration of Southeastern cities.

Meet three new Greenville leaders driving tourism, business growth and quality of life through fresh perspectives and bold economic development plans.
For economic and community development leaders, part of the job includes attracting people and businesses to the area.
Three transplants recently took on these roles in Greenville and given their firsthand relocation experience and love of the region, they are well-equipped to shepherd everyone from young professionals to families and even major companies here.
As president and CEO of VisitGreenvilleSC since November 2022, Heath Dillard oversees the $2.4 billion visitor economy in Greenville and has led the implementation of a communitywide strategy to develop exceptional visitor experiences.
“The mission doesn’t stop at the visitor experience,” Dillard says. “The way we do those things elevates the quality of life for our entire community.”
An Upstate native who grew up in nearby Spartanburg, Dillard spent nearly two decades in Charlotte before Greenville lured him back. For years, Dillard watched Greenville transform into a thriving and vibrant destination for visitors and a magnet for businesses and talent. When a consultant he knew in his economic development role in Charlotte mentioned that VisitGreenvilleSC was on the hunt for a leader, Dillard was hooked.
“I would run down Interstate 85 to take that job,” he told her.
Three years later, Dillard and his family haven’t looked back.
“We have the amenities of a major metro – the arts and culture, live entertainment and sports, a great culinary scene – but we are also really close to nature, with 10 state parks within an hour’s drive and miles of trails and greenways,” he says. “Life in Greenville really does blend the best of both worlds.”
As president and CEO of the Greenville City Economic Development Corp. since April 2024, Sam Konduros guides business recruitment and collaboration with economic development partners. While new to his role, Konduros has spent 30 years supporting Greenville’s transformation.
“I moved to Greenville with a new wife three decades ago, and we fell in love with the city together. Greenville is a city that plans; it doesn’t just wait for things to happen,” he says.
His path to Greenville began when he – fresh out of law school at the University of South Carolina in Columbia – went to work for the international business division of the South Carolina Department of Commerce. He helped recruit a wave of international companies to the state, including drawing BMW Manufacturing to the Upstate. Then came European suppliers and an opportunity for Konduros to move to Greenville to head operations for one of those businesses.
Later, he became founding president and CEO of the Upstate SC Alliance, launched his own consulting firm, and developed health research and life sciences businesses in the region. Through it all, Greenville has been a beacon of high-quality economic development and great quality of life, Konduros says. Each day, 28 new residents move into Greenville County, and that magnetic effect means careful planning is key.
“The Greenville City Economic Development Corp. is very targeted and strategic, even selective about what do we want and how to take the city to the next level,” he says.
Greenville landed on Max Stewart’s radar in 2023. At the time, an economic development deal he’d been competing for in Florida went to the Upstate.
“I hate to lose, but I also had to learn what was going on there,” he says. “We came up, and I said, ‘Boy, I really like this place.’”
By July 2024, Stewart was stepping into his role as president and CEO of the Greenville Area Development Corp. The region’s history as a manufacturing center, the presence of major players, from BMW and Michelin to Lockheed Martin and GE Aerospace, and the rapid growth of the technology and health sciences sectors all add up to strong employer diversity and high-quality jobs for residents. One of the projects Stewart’s organization is working on with other development agencies is how quality of life indicators add up to a better business climate.
“For example, if we were to increase child care accessibility by 10%, could we attract more employees, could we increase GDP?” he says. “There’s a need to make sure we’re interfacing with everybody in the community and finding out who and what will drive economic development and prosperity for everyone.”

Everyone, no matter their ability, should get to play and enjoy all that Greenville, SC has to offer. Sometimes those places are hard to find, so we’ve put together some of the best spots in town and nearby that are fantastic options for families whose children need accessible and inclusive options.
Collectively, these spaces and programs demonstrate Greenville’s dedication to ensuring that no family is left out. From cheering at the arena to exploring museums, enjoying parks, and attending camp, inclusion is being thoughtfully and intentionally integrated into the fabric of the city.

There are several playgrounds in Greenville that have accessible equipment but the brand new Brooks’ Playground is the city’s first fully inclusive playground. It’s designed so kids of any and all abilities can climb, swing, and play together. Read our review here to learn all about the cool things it offers!
Here’s a list of all the playgrounds in Greenville with accessible and inclusive equipment.
Local entertainment venues have made significant improvements to aid in inclusive and accessible options for all guests.
The Children’s Museum of the Upstate is an example of someplace that is always seeking to expand its accessibility efforts. An elevator and wheelchair-accessible walkway allow all kids to reach the top of the Climber, and similar to the BSW Arena, sensory bags are available to help children regulate.
“At TCMU, accessibility and inclusion are core to our mission and help guide all aspects of our museum experience exhibits to educational programming and events,” said Lauren Luneckas, CEO of The Children’s Museum of the Upstate. “We’re breaking barriers throughout the museum so children of all abilities can learn, imagine, and belong here.”
Families can attend sensory-friendly events like the upcoming Halloween celebration, and on Mondays the museum offers adaptive visits for schools and organizations serving children with disabilities—ensuring a calmer, more controlled environment.
If you’ve ever been to an event at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, you know it can get pretty loud. The arena has an awesome Sensory Suite in Section 105, a space designed to help guests with sensory sensitivities feel comfortable at events. Families who may have skipped a hockey game or concert in the past now have a place where their child can enjoy the excitement without being overwhelmed.
Outfitted with noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, softer lighting, and quiet zones, the suite makes it possible for everyone to share the same live experience—without stress. They also offer Sensory Bags (right outside Section 117) that families can borrow during events that include things like fidget toys, headphones, and antiglare glasses.
“The Sensory Suite launched in 2019 after reviewing our offerings for families and while ensuring the Arena’s commitment to inclusiveness and accessibility extended to the fan experience,” said Beth Paul, General Manager. “We believe live events should be a welcoming experience for everyone, and we’re dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where people of all abilities, including those with sensory sensitivities, can enjoy music and entertainment in comfort and confidence. Our Sensory Suite provides a space that allows for memorable and special experiences for the entire family to enjoy together.”
Additionally, you can purchase Sensory Suite tickets by emailing [email protected]. The Sensory Suite is open for shows that have a 360-stage as well as when the Suite is within sightlines of the show. The price of the Sensory Suite varies from show to show, there is no additional cost for fans to utilize the suite (ticket prices align with the cost of the seats directly under the Suite, in the same Section.)
A staple in the community for both families and performers, the SC Children’s Theatre aims to be the most accessible theatre in South Carolina. They designed their new building with that vision in mind and, making sure no physical barriers preventing anyone from taking part in what the theatre offers.
“In the past year, we’ve taken significant steps to deepen accessibility across the organization,” said SC Children’s Theatre CEO Katie O’Kelly.
“This includes launching a more accessible website, creating sensory-friendly viewing areas in both of our theatres, and developing new systems to better welcome and support all patrons. These strides were made possible thanks to the generous support of Greenville Women Giving, the Community Foundation of Greenville, Messer Construction Foundation, the South Carolina Arts Commission, and nonprofit partners like AbleSC, who share our commitment to breaking down barriers.”
The theatre has even expanded the role of their Patron Services Manager to also serve as Accessibility Coordinator, meaning that she is in charge of making sure accessibility is worked into every decision, program, and production at the theatre.
The SC Children’s Theatre offers a hearing loop system to make the experience better for guests with hearing aids, helping remove background noise so there is clear sound right in the device. Just ask for it at the Box Office. They also have sign language interpreters and accessible seating available to make sure everyone can enjoy the show.
Dance Without Limits was founded by Beth Bradley, who wanted to create a space that was welcoming to all kids, regardless of ability. But here’s why Beth decided to create a dance studio that focused on including kids of all ages and abilities: she’s the oldest of 18 kids. Fifteen of her siblings are adopted. And her parents specifically adopted children that often had some kind of limitations in their life. DWL has specific classes for special needs students and those with disabilities.
Longtime readers of Kidding Around will recognize Yellowbobbypins, located at Hampton Station, and we are so happy to add them to this list. They offer art classes and camps for ages 2-14 and owner Lauren Runion is such a delight. She said this about their accessibility specifically:
“We love to include children of all abilities in our classes. We do request that a caregiver reach out to find the best class fit for their child and on occasion (or as needed) we ask that an aide stay with the kid depending on the child’s ability level.”
Lauren and her staff love building confidence and joy for children of all ages.
There are some fantastic options to visit and explore the outdoors that are accessible to everyone.
YMCA Camp Greenville’s Spectrum & Stargazers Camp creates a supportive, outdoor adventure family camp tailored to families that include children with autism spectrum disorder, down syndrome, and other developmental needs. It ensures campers can participate in hiking, stargazing, and camp traditions with the right support while parents know their child is fully included.
This ADA-accessible zoo has teamed up with KultureCity to make visits easier for everyone. Guests can pick up a free sensory kit that includes noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys, a “feelings card” to help express emotions, and a lanyard so staff can easily recognize and support visitors with sensory needs.
The accessible kayak launch at Dolly Cooper Park just outside of Greenville allows boats to enter and exit the water safely. Plus, it’s a really pretty stretch of the river to paddle!
Because I just love waterfalls and want everyone to see them, I created this no-hike waterfall tour in North Carolina as a day trip option. I made it because my mother-in-law, who has limited mobility, was visiting and I wanted to do something fun with her and my daughters that involved the outdoors. We all had such an amazing time and since that trip, I’ve added some more places to the route. It’s definitely a day trip from Greenville but an awesome opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature without any hiking.
Caesar’s Head State Park This is one of the prettiest overlooks in Greenville County and it’s accessible via a short walk on a paved trail from the parking area. It’s especially beautiful in the fall – just get there early as it does get crowded. Look for the hawks as they migrate that same time of year.
