Assisted Living Communities in Lumberton, NC

"My mother has moved into West Bladen Assisted Living and Memory Care, and she's in the memory care unit. The reason why I chose it is because it's very small and it's kind of hidden. It's off the road and back in a wooded area. It's beautiful, calm, and serene. There's not a lot of residents there, and the staff literally treats all of the residents like family. It's very family oriented, and that is a comfort that my mom needed. She didn't need to be treated like a patient. She needs to be treated like family, and it worked for her. It was a blessing to us, and it was exactly what she needed. They also allow smoking. They have a system where everything is supervised. My mother is a chain smoker, and she has smoked her entire life. There's not a lot of facilities that offer that option. They encourage the nicotine patch and quitting, but my mother has Alzheimer's. Teaching her new things is not really an option. Keeping a normal routine with her is what works. Smoking is just unfortunately one of those things, but she's supervised. I don't have to worry about her burning anything down. They provide everything. She sees a doctor every week. She sees a specialist for depression. She can have her hair done there in the facility every week. They even have a jacuzzi. It's small and to look at it from the outside, you'd have no idea of the amazing benefits to a person that goes beyond those doors. It's just beautiful. Everyone is excellent. I've done that thing where you just kind of pop up unannounced just to kind of check the place out and make sure that she's met all the staff. They change from day shift to night shift. I wanted to know who was taking care of her. I want to make sure it was consistent, and it is. Everyone is above average. They are just genuine and they're compassionate. They show love and affection. My mother just adores all of it, and she's thriving in that community. It is not anything that takes your breath away. It's very small. It's kind of hidden, and it's back in a nice, little quiet, serene, wooded area. It's very peaceful and quiet. It's not luxury by any means, but it is clean and cheerful. Every season is represented. There are all these little hints and clues as to what month it is and what time of the day it is. They make the extra effort. In the memory care, they make it very homey, like the kitchen and dining area. Everybody is together. There's like a oneness. The food is good. It's like homecooked meals, and they sneak in vegetables, vitamins, and minerals. They do a great job. They have snacks all throughout the day. They're constantly offering food. My mother was on a special medication to encourage her to eat because she had lost the desire to eat. She's 97 pounds, and this woman is thriving. She is eating all her meals and snacks. It's because there's somebody with her, and she's with a family. She is encouraged to eat with everyone else. It's working. They have activities all the time. They have movies, music, arts and crafts. They take them out to the community when it is safe and appropriate. Everything's supervised. Corona kind of limits it a little bit right now, but they have parades and certain times of the year where they have little festivals they take them to. They're properly staffed. That way, I feel comfortable knowing that my mom's out there with them. They say that one person is supposed to watch after so many people, but I have seen her on numerous occasions where she had one-on-one care. You can't pay for that, that's just amazing to me. They were very reasonably priced. It's still a lot of money. In comparison to the other facilities that we had looked at, this was the best in price."

"My mom was a resident of Hope Springs, the staff gave my mom excellent care and the management was always asking me if everything’s was okay. They were so caring and loved her as if she were their own. I highly recommend Hope Springs, mom was able to stay there until the end of her life. I can’t express enough how wonderful they were to her. From the laundry, dietary needs and the special care that she needed at the end, the quality of care was SUPERB! I highly recommend Hope Springs Assisted Living."

"I have visited Home Mills Retirement Center in the past and was very impressed. The staff has very little turnover. As I recall there are ladies that have been working there for 20 years. Very clean and comfortable."

"I spoke with one of the owners of this agency looking for a home health aid for my ailing grandfather. She seemed very caring and reassured me that if I decided to use her agency I would have one of he most caring and professional nursing assistants caring for him. While in her office, I was able to meet the co-owner who though was very busy at the time still took the time to greet me and let me know that if I ever felt a need to contact her than I should feel free to do so. The office staff including the office manager were all very friendly and professional which makes me believe that everyone values their job and are willing to do what it takes to make clients satisfied. This agency offered a variety of services from general home aids to licensed practical nurses and even had around the clock service in the event that I needed to be gone for a few days and did not want to leave my grandfather alone. I didn't even have to inquire about most of the services, the owner just mentioned them all to me. It is clear that she thought of everything someone might need and made sure that she provided services to fit those needs. Although I am still deciding on a service provider for my grandfather, I will assure you that this agency is in my top 2 choices right now. "

"I like Open Arms Retirement. JJ and the staff there really cared about the folks there. They had it really good. They showed us around, answered all our questions, and helped us out a lot. They even called and checked on us for a little bit. The facilities were awesome. We didn't sample their food, but the kitchen area was really nice and clean. We liked everything that we saw there."

"I toured the Autumn Care of Raeford. It was an old facility, but it was clean. They had activities. They stopped what they were doing and gave me a tour right then, and I just walked in. So, they even talked to me about prices and all that stuff. They showed me the shower rooms. They even told me they shower them like three times a week unless we asked them to do it more. If we wanted them to have a shower every day, then that's what they would do. The staff was very friendly. For my aunt's stage, they don't have a single room. They have two people in it, and for two people their rooms were small."

"I came for a visit looking for a home for my mother. The staff was extremely helpful and very informative. I left with the knowledge I needed if I decide to go the next step. I highly recommend this facility to anyone searching for long term care. The facility was clean and organized."

"I went to tour here. I liked the fact that even though it's assisted living, they have apartment-style rooms. So you can do a studio or a 1-bedroom, and they have a kitchenette. It's very clean, very nice, and very warm. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, professional, and courteous. They had a barber or beauty salon, and they also have an in-house theater and restaurant-style dining. The place itself was very clean. We haven't eaten there but what we looked at was very appetizing."

"My father is at Carolina Inn at Village Green. I rate it very, very good. He seems to be very happy. They have plenty of help for the residents. They have all kinds of activities for the residents. It's really a wonderful place to live. I have tried their food and it was good. The common areas are wonderful. They have music shows, magic shows, and comedians that come in. They have bingo during the week. They always have something special for every holiday. They have a lot of activities. They have wine tasting once a month. He is in a single room. It's big enough for his bed, a dresser, a computer desk, a couple of chairs, his recliner, and another chair. They're very clean. He seems very satisfied with his room. The staff is extremely helpful and extremely nice. They were very good to work with when we were getting my father registered and getting him into the facility. His floor has like eight rooms on it, and they have a nurse assigned just to that floor. There's plenty of staff. Also for assisted living, their food is very good. It's not five-star cuisine, but it's very good. They go around the room every day and personally ask off the menu and fill out the menu for everybody in the complex for the next day. The community is beautiful. It has a beautiful outdoor area, a beautiful covered patio, and open areas. There are two or three small what we call family rooms that have couches where you could go in and visit. They have two or three activities every week now. My father doesn't participate in a lot of them just because it's not his thing. They have the schedules posted in the elevator, and so I see all the things that they're having. It's a little bit more expensive than where he was, but it sure is nicer. "

"The Addison of Fayetteville was decent. However, it was a lot smaller. My friend is a very social person, and they only had 42 residents, and it was predominantly memory care. At the time that we were looking, it was very important to us to have my friend have that opportunity for assisted living. The memory care part was fantastic, but the assisted living left something to be desired only because they only had maybe 16 assisted living residents. The staff was excellent though. They were wonderful. They had a nice quaint dining area. The menu was very similar to the other two places where they had three choices a day and an ala carte menu of something available all the time. They had a salon where somebody would come in a few times a week and be available for haircuts and things of that nature."
