Assisted Living Communities in Kinston, NC

"My brother-in-law moved into here. They were very cooperative, very nice, extended their time, and answered all my questions, and they were very helpful. That's why we chose it. The staff was very helpful, Paula, Michael, and the nurse was Scott, they've been very helpful and my brother-in-law has been there almost a month, almost two months now. The dining area is very nice, it's in a bright area, it's big enough, and it's fine. The facilities were excellent and very clean. They have outings and game nights."

"My aunt has been at Snow Hill Assisted Living for three months now. We chose this facility because my aunt was in a particular financial situation where she made too much for Medicaid, and her skill levels were not enough for them to go on the Medicaid program, so they had to take her income and work with that. Snow Hill Assisted Living was willing to do that. It was a very nice a facility. I really like the way it looked -- how clean it was and everything. The staff and everything were fine. There is no issue with that. Thus far, I've been impressed with them. "

"Lagrange Garden is a long way from us but the facility is clean. My brother is well taken care of, and he's happy. I asked him about the food and he says its good, and he's been putting on weight. Rooms are clean but it's not too big. "

"A friend suggested to check out Red Oak Assisted Living because her grandmother stayed there for about 10 years, so I thought it must be a good facility. As it turned out, it was a great facility. My mom loved the staff, she liked the food very much. I also tasted the food there and it was good. The facility was very clean and there were no foul-smelling odors. "

"My grandmother just moved in at Somerset Court of Goldsboro. The room was fine, and she likes the dining area. They have bingo, puzzles, church, and grooming services. "

"My mother is living in Woodard's Retirement Village. They seem to be taking good care of my mother. It is clean and neat. There are always at least two attendants where my mother is. She has dementia, and it has gotten bad, and they seem to be doing a good job taking care of her. I have been there several times, at several meals, and the food seems adequate. There seems to be a good variety, a good menu. "

"I have found Goldsboro Assisted Living & Alzheimer's Care for my mom, and I have been very satisfied so far with that. It's locally owned by a family in Goldsboro. They don't have all that many patients. They have 28 for assisted living and probably that many in the Alzheimer's section, which is locked separate from where my mom is. Goldsboro was able to take my mom. She gets the care that she needs there, plus they're doing therapy and other things. It is also a lot more affordable. She has memory issues, but she is not in the Alzheimer's unit. She is blind, and when she was at the last facility, they lost one of her hearing aids, so she's barely been able to hear anything. My mom needs assistance eating, she needs assistance dressing, and she needs assistance getting bathed. She needs assistance doing just about everything she does, and they're providing it. I have no complaints from what I've seen. I've not been around all that many staff, but as far as the administration and the lady that's in charge of all the patient care, I would give them a 5. My mom is not complaining. Also, she has no complaints about the food. They have activities, but when you're blind and can't hear, it's hard to engage in the activities that they have. They provide activities for the patients that are there. It's not one of the newest facilities, but it's one of the cleanest places you'll ever go in. They have a salon, a front porch, and an outside area that they can be taken to, but they don't have a gym."

"I have been coming to this facility for a long time. The rooms were very neat and organized. We have had church serve here for the last 8 years. I have seen activity going on at the facility that's something the residents seen to enjoy, they have family and friends' day at the facility annual and the residents has a great time. The residents appear to Happy. And that's the main goal. "

"We toured The Gardens of Trent. We toured the entire facility. It was very nice. It was clean. The staff was very nice and very helpful. I think the manager, her name was Kris, and she was very informative. She walked us around and answered all of our questions. I had a very good experience there. The dining area was nice. It was well laid out for COVID safety as well. Everything was spaced out and there were some TVs in there, and people sitting together, and it was nice. It was a little dreary. There was no carpeting on the floor, so it was very cold. They could use an upgrade with some decorations and some carpeting on the floor. The other thing that I wasn't happy about was that they didn't have the ability for the residents to have TVs in their room. There was no cable or internet going into the facility. I asked if I brought my mom there if I could bring a TV for her, and they said that was fine, but there's no cable coming into the building. I wasn't really happy about that. The rooms were clean. They were cold. But they said if you wanted to bring in carpeting and curtains and things like that, you could bring stuff in for the room. They showed us a single room and a double room, and they were both a nice size, they were big enough. They had their own bathroom and a closet. A lot of people bring in their own blankets and mattresses just so that the residents can be more comfortable, and that was nice to hear. Everything looked very clean. They had just taken down some decorations and they were getting ready to redecorate for springtime. The grounds seemed like they were very well-kept. Everything was clean, neat, and very orderly. The staff mentioned that there was a salon. The staff were all very nice and very friendly. Everybody who walked by spoke to us."
