Assisted Living Communities in Newton, NC

"My father is in memory care at Peninsula Family Care Home, and it's very good. The rooms were very nice, furnished, and very clean. This is a small six-bed family home. It has a family room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a breakfast area. The staff is very good. Because it's small with only six beds, it's very individualized type of care. There are no amenities. They have some activities that they try to do with the residents, such as playing some games or doing puzzles or something, but it's not like your typical assisted living that has 100 beds or so."

"I toured the memory care section of Cadence Mooresville and they seemed to have a very, very good program to keep the memory care residents active and involved. I was much more impressed with that. They put out a monthly schedule and it details exactly what they all do, like coming up on Halloween, several of the staff were dressed in costumes. They're just not as big as the other ones we saw. We only interacted with the lady who is in charge of giving the tour and the executive director, but I was very impressed with them."

"The Gardens is certainly not one of the worst assisted living facilities in Statesville. It is a smallish facility with a pretty low caregiver to patient ratio. The facility offers lots of opportunities for it's residents to interact with one another and to be in a social setting. My family was overall very pleased with the care that was provided to my grandmother at The Gardens. Upon entering the facility she was very hesitant but the staff made it a point to interact with her and allow her as much freedom as was possible. Most of the caregivers are CNAs rather than registered nurses but they still provided a wonderful level of care. The staff was wonderful about keeping us updated on any little falls or issues that my grandmother had. The facility itself is not very old and the rooms are very clean and tidy. The maintenance and housekeeping is wonderful and the facility aways seemed to be well cared for, this probably helped so many residents feel at home. "

"Always clean.Not perfect, but fix problems when they come up. Mom loves it there, and when we come to visit it feels like a "home". "

"I thought Brookdale Peachtree was very nice, but it didn't have any one-bedroom apartments, and that's what I was looking for. The person who gave me the tour was very, very nice, and he gave me lunch, which tasted good. The menu looked good too. They had a library, and the place was clean."

"My friend has chosen Brookdale Lenoir for herself. It was a nice facility and they have a lot of activities for the residents to do. We really liked it. When we were there, there was a lady doing puzzles. They have books they could read and games they could play. They also have an exercise room. The staff there was really great. They have one-bedroom and shared rooms available, and I thought they were nice. The dining area was very nice, and it's set up for four people to a table. They come and take your order from the different menu to choose from. They do take tours to go shopping, and they have a beauty shop onsite. They have two outdoor patios that are really pretty."

"We toured Arbor Ridge at Huntersville. It had very friendly staff. It's very clean. It had a lot of activities, and pretty much it was just as nice as the other one that we visited. They had coloring activities for the individuals that stayed there. They were singing songs. It's a very good facility."

"We liked Cadence Huntersville because it was close enough to my house, the staff was exceptional (and that's putting it very mildly), and the actual program and the facilities that they have to offer my sister were the very best of care, as well as the environment itself. It is only on two floors, which means getting around was not encumbering and it was immaculately clean. We visited both the assisted living and memory care and met quite a few people on the staff. They appeared to be people of excellence, both skills, and character. They arranged for a private dining experience with my wife, myself, and my sister. It was perfect. The food was excellent."

"We visited Burke Long Term Care for my sister. It's assisted living, it was nice, and it was a very, old established place. The person who gave us the tour was very nice and showed us everything. The rooms were nice, too. It was a very small place, and I can't remember how many residents they had, but it was good. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful. The rooms were for two people and had single beds. They were kind of small, but they were nice. They also have a recreation room where they read, play games, watch TV, or do whatever they want to do."

"TerraBella Newton was very clean. The people were very nice, and they seemed to take care of the people and everything, even the Alzheimer's unit in the back. My mom is going to have to go to the Alzheimer's unit. They were very well taken care of. The rooms were very clean. They have them bring their own furniture and belongings from at home to make it like their own; it was very appealing. They have a lot of activities and an exercise group. They also have that thing where you can bring things in, food, and a little entertainment for the people. Everything was very good. The staff were all very friendly."

"Mum has been experiencing memory loss for about three years. During this time I have looked at quite a bit of communities for mum when I needed sometime off. After a friend told me about Graceview homes, I decided to give them a try and I couldn't have been more satisfied. Mum visits more often staying for days and sometimes on weekends. Hannah and the staff are so loving loving and caring, mum sometimes don't want to come home with us when we go to pick her up. Thinking about making it mums permanent home. I love the staff."

"My friend has stayed at Austin several times and I have visited there many times. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are no foul odors and that impressed me. My friend says that the food is better than any where else he has ever stayed and they can have seconds if they want. The food certainly smelled good when I was there. Most of the folks that live there are up and about and there is a friendly atmosphere. I would have no hesitation recommending this home. "

"My mother was once worked at Abernethy Laurels, though she is no longer associated in any way with this facility. I had the opportunity to visit there on a number of occasions and was always very impressed. Located on Highway 16 near the small town of Newton, Abernethy Laurels is convenient to Charlotte, Hickory, and Lincolnton. (It can be easily spotted from the highway by its charming clock tower.) Abernethy Laurels has a wonderful reputation in the community and I think it is well deserved. The grounds are beautiful, as is the facility itself. From the moment you step into the lobby, you feel as if you are in a luxury hotel. The facility is clean, airy, and incredibly spacious. The walls are adorned with artwork and there is even a sunroom area complete with live fruit trees. Though I don't know a great deal about the activities the facility offers, I know there are a wide variety of fun things available for the residents to do. (I have had the opportunity to eat there, however, and the food was delicious.) Most importantly, is the level of care the residents are given. I am a nurse myself and have known several nurses who worked there. I believe the residents receive the highest quality care in an excellent setting, and I recommend Abernethy Laurels wholeheartedly.

"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."
