Assisted Living Communities in Durham, NC

"They took great care of my mom in Horizons...she was not the easiest of residents either...they really treated her great! We since had to move her to skilled but we miss everyone here!"

"The staff at Abbotswood at Stonehenge seemed like they care. The ones that I talked to seemed to have a passion for caring for their people. They had long-term employees and they recognized them with pictures on the walls and stuff. It was clean and it looked like they had some good activities."

"I went to Brookdale MacArthur Park. They offer them breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the cafeteria. They had nurses and doctors on-site to come to visit them. My mother wouldn't have somebody there with her all the time, but they would check on her every day if she didn't check-in. I didn't have anything bad about it. I loved it. It was a beautiful community. Everybody was very professional and gracious. It supplied all the needs of the tenants. The staff was very personable and very informative. He was one of the managers, and he's very professional. They made me feel like they would take good care of my family member if they were there. They had a garden patio, a library, a beauty salon on-site, and several physical and occupational therapists there on-site."

"What I like most about Brighton Gardens of Raleigh is the residents. They were so pleasant that you knew they had to be happy there to be that pleasant. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, and they're attentive to any of your concerns. Suzanne helped us and she was great. Anybody we saw interacted with us and they were very pleasant. They were having a social that afternoon, and several times they invited us to stop by if we could, and we just couldn't do it, but they really encouraged that. Everything was very clean and very nice. I was pleased with it."

"Lorraine is the bomb. I have had wonderful experiences here at Sunrise of Raleigh with so many staff members. The latest was a part time staff member, Lorraine. I came by to check on mom and bring some items to her. Lorraine greeted me at the front desk offered me a mask, took me to mom’s room and ordered her dinner to be brought to her room. She followed up on the meal delivery to keep things on track. I wanted to know what medicines mom was taking so I asked Lorraine to check for me so I would know. She did everything I asked with a smile and promptness. On my way out she checked me out and took down notes of what she was to follow up on for me, read them back and asked if there was anything else I needed? All with a smile and she just fills in every now and then. Surprised me! I thought she was full time and just hadn’t met her yet. Very friendly, professional and I’m relieved and happy to have such a caring place for my mom. A. Johnson"

"We toured the Reserve at Mills Farm. The person who showed us around was very charming and knowledgeable. We told her what we were looking for, and then she gave us a tour of the facility. She sent us home with some paperwork, information, and maybe floor plans. She did take us to a unit. The ceilings were tall. It was lovely. All their units have a patio, which we'd be very interested in for a little outdoor space. The patio is small. It's just enough for two chairs, but enough to sit there and have coffee in the morning. She showed us all around, like a game room, dining rooms, outdoor spaces, and common areas."

"We chose Woodland Terrace for ourselves. It is away from the very busy streets, so it's very quiet. It's just 2 blocks from Trader Joe's and all those places where I buy fruits. To me, the location was great. We only have 180 residents. We have a pond with a walking trail and ducks on it. The people here are extremely friendly. I just came back from a friendship committee where I am a volunteer. There are a few things that I would personally want different. But to me, the things that were of high concern were the heated pool, the walking space, the fact that it's not too big, and the freedom we have in this community. We have breakfast. You just get bacon and eggs and other choices. By 11:30, we have lunch. If you want dinner, you pay an additional $200. We cannot eat two of these meals. It's impossible. We eat fruit in the evenings and that's good. They offer the activities that I need and they have good facilities here."

"My dad stayed at Spring Arbor in Apex. The staff was very attentive, would check on him, was very helpful, always smiling, knew him by name, and knew me by name. He thought the meals were boring, and they were often not very hot, but he enjoyed the people there, and for the little time he was there, he was happy to get his hair done. He was happy with the rehab that he was able to attend. So, as a facility, it ticked all the boxes except that his health degraded to the point where he exceeded their care capacity, and he was hospitalized. I didn't see anything wearing or tearing. It's just that the facility has been there a while, but they're keeping it up and lovingly taking care of it, which shows commitment. They publish their activities for the week, which are at least five days a week. They had something going on at multiple times of the day. People could pick and choose what they wanted to do. Some residents wanted something to do and led it themselves; others were staff-led. It was an active community."

"My father stayed at Sunrise at North Hills. The staffing was good. The facility was clean. The food was fine. My father's room was clean. They did his laundry. They had a cleaning service to vacuum and clean things there. My father was involved in art. It was very expensive."

"My sister is in Spring Arbor of Cary. It has a nice appearance. It's clean. The staff are very friendly, they're knowledgeable and it seems like they care about the patients. They have a country kitchen where they can cook. They do exercises and they do say that they'll take them out, but my sister has only been there for such a short time, so I haven't gotten to see all those things. They have a group dining room, which is good because then the patients get to see each other. The dining area looks like a restaurant with nice tables and stuff, and the food looks okay. It looks good. It's cut up so that they don't have to use knives or anything."

"Cadence North Raleigh is very caring and attentive to its residents. It's a very warm environment. They have lots of wonderful activities and really good food. They celebrate all the holidays. Like in the fall, they have a festival, trunk-or-treating, residents' families that come in for barbecues out on the deck in the back with grills and everything, and a Thanksgiving dinner. They also do all sorts of flower arranging, yoga type or sit-and-be-fit type of exercises for older people, and walking club. Mom's apartment is very spacious. Her bathroom is very large and accommodating. There are two big windows that she can look out into a very wooded back that has a trail that you can walk on, and two big closets. They have beautiful screen porches and rocking chairs on every wing so you can always be outside with lots of flowers and gardens. They have a bus for transportation, too."
