"I went to tour here. I liked the fact that even though it's assisted living, they have apartment-style rooms. So you can do a studio or a 1-bedroom, and they have a kitchenette. It's very clean, very nice, and very warm. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, professional, and courteous. They had a barber or beauty salon, and they also have an in-house theater and restaurant-style dining. The place itself was very clean. We haven't eaten there but what we looked at was very appetizing."

"My father has been at Fayetteville Manor for about 9 months now. Since the day of the family walk through and almost daily visits by us we have TOTALLY satisfied and pleased with his care by the professional, compassionate staff. The facility is clean and well taken care of. Friends of the family that are in the medical field have been highly impressed. "

"I have visited Home Mills Retirement Center in the past and was very impressed. The staff has very little turnover. As I recall there are ladies that have been working there for 20 years. Very clean and comfortable."

"The Addison of Fayetteville was decent. However, it was a lot smaller. My friend is a very social person, and they only had 42 residents, and it was predominantly memory care. At the time that we were looking, it was very important to us to have my friend have that opportunity for assisted living. The memory care part was fantastic, but the assisted living left something to be desired only because they only had maybe 16 assisted living residents. The staff was excellent though. They were wonderful. They had a nice quaint dining area. The menu was very similar to the other two places where they had three choices a day and an ala carte menu of something available all the time. They had a salon where somebody would come in a few times a week and be available for haircuts and things of that nature."

The Eastover Gardens facility was originally opened in the ’50s as a motor court hotel servicing HWY 301, then the main north-south thoroughfare from Florida to Maine. Sometime in the ’60s the building was converted into a nursing home to better meet the needs of the aging population of Cumberland County. Throughout its over 30 year history the facility has seen many changes and renovations, including the addition of a new wing and dining facility. In 2008 the Weeks began to implement their vision of opening Cumberland County’s only free-standing Alzheimer’s and dementia care facility.

"I toured the Autumn Care of Raeford. It was an old facility, but it was clean. They had activities. They stopped what they were doing and gave me a tour right then, and I just walked in. So, they even talked to me about prices and all that stuff. They showed me the shower rooms. They even told me they shower them like three times a week unless we asked them to do it more. If we wanted them to have a shower every day, then that's what they would do. The staff was very friendly. For my aunt's stage, they don't have a single room. They have two people in it, and for two people their rooms were small."

"My mom is a resident at Autumn Care of Raeford. She has received the best care possible. I am in the facility daily at different times each day. The facility is clean and the staff on her hall are the best! The food is wonderful; the dietary staff has gone above and beyond to make sure she has food that she likes. The Rehab. department has been so patient and kind to her while making sure she receives the therapy she needs. The administrator, Danielle, is always available and her door is always open. She is willing to help in anyway possible. "

"I did find a place for my dad. It's called Open Arms. It is a small facility. They separate the people that have Alzheimer's from the ones that don't. I love the gardens. They're beautiful. I met several people, going from the lady that administers the places, to some of the nurses and the admission manager, and they were very helpful when I called. They took me around. They showed me three different empty rooms. In general, the people looked content. The facility was clean. It has different rooms that they could go to. They have different set up of rooms, like garden rooms and others were a little more formal. They have the dining room where they go for their three meals and three snacks a day. They have a blackboard, which was huge because a lot of people there don't see well and it had posted all the activities. Every Friday at 3 p.m., they have ice cream. I thought that was rather huge in the sense that it is something for them to look forward to. Also my dad loves ice cream. I like that they have a Facebook page. This place is small, and they have enough staff. Let's say my dad doesn't want to get up or get to go over to lunch or dinner, they will bring his meal to his room. That to me was very important because my dad will refuse to go to eat. I really love the place. "

"What I liked the best at Hope Spring was the lady that was the manager in charge. She was on top of her game. I was very impressed with her. The staff were attentive and very caring. However, it is an older facility, it's not a new construction. It was there in the 1950s when I was a child. It's well kept and it's clean. However, if you wanted a private room for a female relative, it did not include private bathrooms and showers. They were in the hallway. I was concerned looking for something for my mother. We showed up unannounced and just asked if we could tour the place, and they were very, very gracious."

"This place is a great place for many reasons for assisted living care. It is an older facility but I'd kept very clean. They take patients for their Dr. Appointment. Also doctor visits on site at certain times. My friend says food is very good and there are between meals snacks. They do their laundry and staff are excellent to work with. The cost is very reasonable for those who can't afford an expensive place. "

"AMazing friendly helpful staff. Very clean with the care only a family could provide...but they have it down pat. Love this facility.Mom loves this facility. "

"Johnson Better Care wasn't that great because when I walked into the door, it had a smell to it. That turned me off immediately. The staff also didn't show me around. They just asked me questions and they could've been more considerate with someone looking for a place like that. The supervisor should've been more involved in answering my questions and not leave me up to an aide or at the reception. I felt like she should've come out of her office. I didn't receive the hospitality I was looking for. Also, they didn't have enough people on staff to take care of what they needed to take care of. I didn't see many RNs or anything like that. They need more staff for a place of that size. When we walked to the door there were people in wheelchairs smirking and I didn't think that was good. We saw a resident drop a cigarette on her lap and she began to holler as if she was getting burned. We tried to help her get the cigarette out. There was no one that was on hand that could get to her. Also, I don't think they need to allow residents to smoke in the premises especially because they're elderly people. I think it's dangerous to allow them to do that. The residents just sit there. They need activities. "
