Assisted Living Communities in Raeford, NC

"The tour we had of Brookdale Pinehurst's assisted living was provided by one of the managers, and she was so spectacular. My mom almost chose this facility because of her. It was a little more plain than the other place we visited. It was decorated, but seemed a little lacking. There were lots of soft tones on the walls, which, on one hand, were calming but were almost hospital-like. The halls were smaller and less wide, so there was plenty of room for a wheelchair, but not as much room as you would find in a hospital. We expected it to be a bit bigger. Some things looked like they needed to be updated, and some things looked like they were coming closer to the end of their life. It's nicer than what I have in my home, though, so I'm not criticizing. Just comparing the two places we have visited, walking into one and then walking into the other. Their activities for the seniors are limited. Everybody was closed up in their rooms, and they weren't out and about socializing with each other."

"My dad moved into Seven Lakes Assisted Living & Memory Care one week ago. The number one thing was that the staff was very, very friendly and seemed to be very caring. They were very concerned and very assured that he would go and fit in and be okay. They have basic amenities, you know, showers, the things that you need. Everything seems okay. It looks like a little older place. It can do a little bit of freshen-up. They have a nice courtyard with places where you can go and have like a picnic, a picnic area. They have a little walk-in place, not big, but a little walk-in place where they can walk. They have a treadmill, puzzles, and games."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"Penick Village offered everything we needed. The staff was very complete and knowledgeable. It's a high-quality place."

"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. "

"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. "

"I am pleased with everything at Fox Hollow Senior Living Community. I do not have any complaints. My mother is in a one-bedroom space, and it is fine. They have a wide range of activities, and I would recommend it to others. "

"The Coventry is part of St. Joseph of the Pines Continuing Care Retirement Community. I was told they do not accept potential residents from the community - you have to be part of the buy-in system for independent living with exorbitant up front costs. Good to know. "
