Assisted Living Communities in Lenoir, NC

"My parents moved into Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living last July. A lot of the rooms are older, the room they are in is kind of awkward and small, and I was kind of expecting that. We've been trying to adjust things here and there to make it easy for them. They've been very helpful, but they're stretched thin like almost everybody is nowadays and with getting enough people to help. My parents seem to be doing well, and they have adjusted well. They're very busy, and just like all the other facilities, and I'm sure they're having issues with keeping people too, but they seem to be better at doing it than the last facility mom and dad were in. They have helpers and mom and dad are doing well there. I'm pretty happy with them. The staff is very nice and friendly and concerned when you mention things that you're worried about. So it's good to have somebody that will at least listen to you and try to implement something to help. So that's what they've been doing. With my parents, it's been an issue trying to get them to get out more and speak with other people and everything. So they have been good at doing that. They have like a little patio area where they take them out when they can when it's cool enough out there. And so they have got them out of their room and out of their comfort zone a little more. I'm kind of glad that they have done that. My parents love the food, so they're doing well with that."

"I would not recommend this facility for a cockroach. The people who work there are so rude with the residents. If there is someone that refuses to eat they will not take the time to coax them with positive comments. This place also has 3 shifts. I was visiting during the beginning of 2nd shift and was not very happy. They should have someone on the hall while another one does showers or whatever they do first. However, the 2 CNAs that were working both went to do showers at the same time. There was no CNA on the hall. The med-techs have no bedside manners with anyone here. The food here is horrible. I was visiting once while during Supper. They were served half cheese sandwich, small bowl tomato soup, and small bowl of mixed fruit. I do not think that was acceptable. Also, they are hateful with all residents especially during medication time. They tell everyone to wait until they hand out all medicines. I would not take no one even an ant to this facility. I think that the state should just go down there and shut that place down. I do not recommend even considering this facility for your loved one. I have been in there and will never go back what so ever. IT IS HORRIBLE AND NASTY. I do not even think that they had restrooms for visitors. I think just employee bathroom. SO AWFUL. "

"Shaire Center is very clean. They have a very friendly staff and all of the residents are dressed, alert, and well cared for. They have plenty of nice spaces for visits as well as incredibly nice rooms. Each different unit has its own activities list appropriate to them. Plus, they have in-house physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. For memory care, they have games, sing-alongs, and worship services. They were the best of any place we visited."

"this nursing home was very clean. The nurses were very rude, when i tried to see my grandmother they prevented me from doing so. The food i saw them feeding the residents looked gross. The overall outside of the nursing home looked quite nice and neat. I personally would recomend putting your loved ones in this nursing home, because the serivce and care of the residents are up to standard. The only problem i had was when they didnt allow me to see my grandmother, but it was understandable, and hasnt happened again. The do keep my grandmother clean, especially since she wears adult diapers. The make sure she is changed quite frequently, and dont allow her to get rashes. The feed the patients snacks and main course meals. Another complaint i do have is that they allowed another resident to hit my grandmother, i think this issue should be resolved by removing the resident but they wouldnt do that. My overall experience is pretty good, the good out weighs the bad. "

"The staff was fine at Morganton Long-Term Care. They were very nice. But it just smells when we went in, and the rooms that we would have had for my mother wasn't just acceptable to what we want. Basically, it was the odor. It was pretty offensive for anybody else. But I do know several people from our church that are residents there and they seem to be doing well. It's just not the place for where I would want for my mother. "

"Grace Ridge looks positive because you can go from independent living to assisted living to the next level. They have a nice library and a nice, comfortable lounge for people to enjoy. You could play billiards there. You could get a membership to a local gym. The rooms come with a balcony, which I like. However, the staff who gave the tour didn't seem like he wanted me there. I think he could have done better. The other people seemed very nice because, as I walked by, they acknowledged me. They would give you food allotments. There are places where you can have coffee and snacks in the building. You have a full kitchen in your room, which I think is cool, too."

"I toured The Berkeley. It has a courtyard with a screened-in porch. It is very safe and excellent. The rooms were adequate in size. The staff was excellent. It's very clean and nice."

"Cambridge House was very nice. My mom was there for three years before she passed away, and they did an excellent job with her. It’s a lock down facility, and most of the rooms are semi-private. They fix the meals for them, have indoor activities, and have a physician on staff that comes into the facility. They also have a lot of staff. We were very pleased with everything. "

"I like the Kingston Residence of Hickory. Pets are accepted. They staffed it very well, which is important. You could do your own laundry. There are nurses on site 24/7. Like the other communities, they have a van that will take you to appointments within 10 miles. Another thing I like is that, since my sister lives up in New York, if she came to visit me, she could stay over in my apartment. The smallest apartment has a kitchenette. Their menu looked quite delicious. They have monthly activities that they do. The staff was very good. The place was very nice."

"My sister moved to the Springs of Catawba. They're clean. They're friendly. They treat the residents very nicely. They are super good to the care type that's coming in and out. Her apartment is beautiful. It's just like a big living room. It's got furniture, a couch, a chair, a bed, and a dresser. It's big and spacious. They told her to play bingo and she was in a hurry to play bingo."

"My visit to Country Pines Adult Care Home in Morganton was good. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and very knowledgeable. The facility was clean and very well kept. It's just a house, so it has a front porch with rocking chairs, a gazebo, and a flower bed. In terms of activities, they kind of do their own thing, but they keep a puzzle out on the table all the time for the residents to work on. It's located well off of the main highway."

"I visited a friend of ours at Trinity Village in Hickory. She's in their assisted living. The place was very nice. It's clean. It's decorated very pretty, and there's no bad smell. All the time, I see on Facebook that they do activities with their people. It's just overall a good place, and the staff was great. They do all kinds of arts and crafts and have all kinds of functions going on for the residents."

"I visited my friend's parents at Taylorsville House. It is clean and the food looks really good. The workers that I met, and staff are nice and have a good attitude. They take good care of the residents, and the residents look clean, and they seem to be happy. The rooms are a nice size, and they are clean. The dining area is clean. They have a cook there that prepares meals and stuff. I know that they have a courtyard in the back where they can go out and they can sit outside. They can play games or watch television. They have music and then they have an activities person that does activities with some of the residents."
