"I went to Haywood Lodge and Retirement Center for my mother. They're very friendly. All the residents and guests looked well cared for, and it was rather homey. They have normal recreational activities and care for the residents like hair salons and weekly activities. The staff was great, very informative, and very patient with their time. They pointed out that they were partially through with renovations. So there was a very nice newly renovated portion and some that had yet to be renovated."

"My father-in-law is currently residing at Silver Bluff Village - Arrowhead Cove and is very pleased with the care he is receiving. There are four separate facilities in Silver Bluff. He is in an area called Arrowhead Cove and that is the assisted living that's like the first tier. As residents need more personal care, they are generally moved into the actual Silver Bluff. Silver Bluff is more of a nursing home facility. They also have a rehab center for temporary care when older people have accidents and such and they need just a temporary rehabilitation center. Early on, we're having some dietary concerns only because he is not only gluten-free, but he has celiac disease. So it's not a dietary preference, but it's a gluten allergy and he can become very sick with it. So, educating the dietitians and the dining service, there's a little bit of a learning curve initially, but they were very approachable. It was just a matter of educating in the beginning. They have made those changes and they've all been very pleasant from the nursing assistants to the actual head of nursing. The facility itself is cozy. There is a central seating area where they all seem to congregate either in the morning or in the evening. They have their three meals and they have games that are played. They'll have a monthly calendar where they'll have certain activities and people will come in and perform things like cornhole, bingo, trivia, and different things of that nature. He's not always so involved in those types of things, but he has developed more of a social hour. He's gotten to make friends there. He is very involved with the other residents. They have outdoor seating areas when it's warmer. They have activities and different chair exercises. In nicer weather, they go outside and walk. We've not had any issues with the care that we've received. He's done a great job and he's got a few favorite nurses that come in. We have no complaints at all. The staff members are all very sweet girls. He loves the breakfast. The breakfasts are great. Different residents live in different hallways in their private rooms, so he doesn't have a roommate. It's kind of like a little studio apartment. I've not been there during the day when he's had the activities, but he has had fun in the ones that he has participated in."

"My sister moved to Pisgah Villa. They encourage people to use their freedom. They also have a lot to do there as far as exercise rooms. The people there are very nice. It's a smaller place than the one she was in. They have a nice swimming pool. They teach yoga classes. They have art classes. I've never eaten there, but my sister told me she thought the food was good. They had a huge dining room with tables and chairs. They take them shopping once a week and assist them if they need an outside doctor. The facility has one psychiatrist and an on-call doctor."

"The cleanliness and their professionalism are few of the factors is why Heather Glen is my choice for my mother. Their Director is extremely informative. She introduces me to all the employees even those in-charged of the kitchen. It is a smaller community as compare from where she was and they are able to give more care and observe what she is doing on a daily basis. They manage her medicine and we know she is taking it properly. The food is excellent. The housekeeping is really good. Everybody is just in a cheerful mood. It is located where it has a good view of the mountains and in a peaceful setting. All the amenities are there and they do a lot of different things with the people like boat rides, bingo, cookouts and they keep them entertained. They keep them active as much as possible. The constantly watch and evaluate them and they inform me if there is anything out of the line and needs to be addressed with my mom. I am extremely happy where she's at and she seems to be more pleased also. "

"I toured Asheville Geriatric. I needed a memory care unit, and they didn't have one. They also were sort of on the older side. The amenities were not as good for the patients. Like for the room, each of the patients had their own room, but they didn't have a bathroom in their room. The staff was very nice."

"I stayed at Angel House 1 for three months. This place was horrible. It was dirty. The food was very unhealthy. They had a physician's assistant who came to see people, and he was very unknowledgeable. It was a very bad experience for me. I will never put myself in an assisted living situation again because of that. The homes are old. They're just in it for the money. They don't take care of their people."

"My husband has been in this facility for 20 days after falling and fracturing his neck. He is preparing to leave and has had the most professional care and therapy. We have come to love these wonderful folks and don’t believe you could find a better place for yourself or your loved one when you need serious care. It isn’t quite home but, in our case, it was the next best .wiedthing! Mary Wiedenhaupt"

"My husband and I live in a patio home which we purchased 12 years ago when we were in our 70's. We feel a part of a community, a neighborhood. The activities and field trips are varied and well-organized as well as done in a cheerful way -- lots of fun. We have had great care when needed. The maintenance crew is always responsive. Since we do our own cooking, we cannot give feedback on that except to say that the special occasion meals we've had are very good."

"Wonderful "home-like" environment! The new administrator and resident care coordinator are amazing! They have really turned this place around. Staff is always wonderful and takes such great care of my mom."

"Both of my parents were residents at Tores Home. My mom had Parkinsons Disease. My dad had diabetes and heart problems. I can't say enough about the loving care both of them received at Tore's Home. I never had to worry about them. They always received exceptional care. My parents were originally in another assisted living facility in Brevard. The care was limited and we had to hire private care to supplement the lack of service. Tore's Home was completely different. My parents received the very best of care without the added cost of private care givers. Both my parents loved it there - and the people who worked there. They stayed at Tore's Home right up until the days they passed. They never had to leave their "home". They had a beautiful room that overlooked the mountains, The food was always good (my dad loved it). My dad was 98 when he finally passed. My mom was in her 90s. I know they wouldn't lived that long if it hadn't been for Tore's Home."
