The Best Assisted Living Communities in Harnett County, NC

"From the moment I walked in the door, I just knew Meadowview Assisted Living was the right place for my mom. It just felt right. The staff was friendly. The residents seemed happy. I knew she was going to be happy there. My mom is now in their assisted living facility. Her room is very spacious. It's very adequate for her needs. They provided her with a bed and a dresser, and they allowed us to bring in some of her own furniture as well, like her recliner. We decorated it to make it her own. We're very happy with it. My mom says the food is quite good, too."

"I liked that Cadence Garner was all on one level. It had a very comfortable feeling to it and everyone there seemed to be very pleasant and happy. They were very helpful. The nurse smiled and talked with you, and I think that means so much. A lot of their residents had gone on a picnic at one of the parks close by, and I thought that sounded good too. The facility was very pretty. There was a lot of light."

"I toured Brookdale Smithfield. What I liked about it was the distance, which was a plus. The staff and the facility were also nice. The apartments were nice and spacious. I had no problem with the apartment. It's clean, and they have a dining area."

"I went to visit Heritage Place. It was lovely, nice, and pleasant, and the people were also pleasant. The staff that we met there were very caring and concerned. We saw their apartments, they were lovely and nice, roomy, and clean. But the price wasn't feasible for me, it was out of my range. I've seen the complete facility and their facilities were lovely. It was very clean and fresh. It had a beauty salon where you had to make appointments. Their spaces outside were well taken care of, and the staff was with the residents."

"The Enclave is very comfortable and welcoming. The staff is excellent. It has plenty of space with all the essentials. It has a queen size adjustable base bed, dresser, nightstand. It's attractive and nicely decorated. The dining area is very nice. It looks like it is a home. It's in a house, so it's a nice roundtable dining room. They bring someone in to do things as needed on a schedule. My dad doesn't utilize any of that, but I did hear them talking about they have someone come in to do hair. It always looks clean, neat, and well-kept. In terms of value for money, I would say it is comparable to others in the area."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I toured Sunrise of Cary. Their facility is so neat and clean. Their charges are too high, though. But according to their service, they are providing most of the good stuff. The staff has called me many times back and offered to help with everything. He is very good, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. He is responsive to any questions we have and he keeps up with all the potential clients. They have a salon right there, as well as 24-hour nurse visits to the patient. They also have a case manager there. I like the ambiance. I like their cafeteria, menu, and their family gathering places. They also arrange for special events. Their program is awesome, with so many good stuff. They have a balcony where the patient can sit privately or have an outdoor time with the family. You can just reserve that in advance, let them know ahead, and they will arrange everything, even lunch, dinner, or anything. It's like a five-star hotel or like living in a resort. They gave us a loaf of specially baked bread, which is a bread that's more like a cake. They have invited us to many occasions to meet and mingle or have a family member come and enjoy the meal while we discuss, but I have never gone."

"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."
