Assisted Living Communities in Shelby, NC

"If I had to choose one, Brookdale Robinwood would probably be one of the ones I would choose and go through the process. Very wonderful woman manager, very nice. I got along very well with her. We went into the dining room and I didn't try the food, but I sat and said hello to a couple of people and they were all very perky. The atmosphere in that place was the best of all of the places I went to. The whole atmosphere, happy people, happy lives. They have a bigger layout in some of the rooms. I saw one that had furniture in it, and it works. A bed, dresser, and chair. I got a very nice feeling about that one."

"Brookdale New Hope was a larger facility but well-staffed with the appropriate level of caregivers. It is one level so that ambulation of the resident would be easy. They have restaurant-style dining. They have activities to promote their social interaction, and their medical care would be addressed appropriately at that facility."

"I went to TerraBella Cramer Mountain. I liked it very much. It was beautiful and I would have wanted to have stayed, but it was nearing $5,000 a month. It's very friendly. A lot of eyes watching lovingly and caringly for the person who's there. Not intrusive, just watching. There was a lot to do depending on how you might feel. You were welcome to a place where you could walk on flat cement. You could have your own little garden. They had gardening spots. I just found it really something that I'd like. I was assisted by someone and she was very helpful. It's not all business. She could interject some things, for instance, I complimented the shirt she was wearing and she discussed a little bit about it. I found that relaxing for me. I found that it calmed me down because this is a big step for me. She stayed with us until the very end of the visit, and I must have stayed there about an hour. She took us all around. They had some rooms that probably she had talked with them beforehand and they allowed us in to see how big the room was, how I might set my own up, how the shower looked, just things like that. People that would be in the hallway navigating to wherever it was they were going, even they were the most pleasant. Everyone seemed happy. We walked into the dining room and they were eating. There was a menu bulletin up of what they were going to be having that day. There were tables, maybe that four would sit at, and everything was more like a restaurant. It was really nice and clean. There was nothing to trip on. There was no carpeting in that hallway adjoining the different wings. There were ample guardrails to hang onto. Nothing outside like loose bricks that might cause someone to fall. It was really very nice."

"My mom was in another assisted living facility previously and it was a nightmare. I was so worried when I had to find another one and in a short amount of time. When I contacted Spring Oak, everyone I interacted with was so nice and professional. Every time I visit, I encounter so many wonderful staff members that are willing to go above and beyond to make sure her needs are met. I am so thankful for the entire staff for helping her feel welcome. If you are looking for a more personable experience, I would definitely recommend this facility."

"I liked TerraBella Spartanburg except that they were too far from me. It was nice. They have movies, different classes, a reading room, a library, and private units. They had one lady in there that was reading books and two people that were blind that had Braille cards with them so they could get into card games. There were also a couple of other activities that blind residents could participate in. They had a garden area with chairs out there and a front patio. It was nice and clean. There were always people sweeping and mopping. It was well-kept."

"It was more homey for my mother-in-law. The people were more welcoming. The residents that were there were very friendly. It's an older building. It's a little less expensive because you're not paying for all the modern looks. They have activities and meals. There are three floors, and each floor has four caregivers, so if one of the patients needs something, they're right there. They have all the appliances. The staff member was fantastic. There wasn't a question that we asked her that she didn't answer. She was very upfront and helpful. Their activity room was kind of in disarray. They're doing some kind of Disney feature, so it was a wreck. If it didn't have the sign out front, you would think it was an apartment building."

"My family member is very happy here. The staff are very caring and attentive. Management are accessible and take swift action on any things that need to be addressed. The first thing noticed is the age of the facility but I’m told a major renovation is eminent. Our relative is making friends. They are picky about food but they are satisfied with the taste and quality - no complaints. There are activities but I’m not sure what they are as they don’t participate. They have a transport to take residents to medical Appointments. Again we are very impressed with the proactive approach of the management team. "

"We have placed my wife’s mother in Shelby Manor. We are well pleased with it so far. The staff that I’ve met has been very informative, helpful, and friendly. We have no problems with any of them. They have alarms on all the doors, so it seems that security is important to them. "

"Sweet Caroline was nice, small, and very private. They had a lot of activities planned, and they take them out every day to do something. They go to senior centers and picnics. The person who toured us around was very nice. When they found out that my grandmother had a pretty good sweet tooth, they actually baked a cake for us. "

"My mom is a resident of Heavenly Touch Care Home. They have home-cooked meals, which are good food. They have one lady there who is from Africa, and she cooks a traditional meal or something from there. Some kind of stew or something, and my mom likes it. The owner of this facility, we like her. She has compassion for the elderly. She's nice and all the ladies who work here. Everybody's like family, but they can do their stuff. They do allow smoking in a certain area. Now the lady is making some improvement. She put new furniture in the living area. She did put in new security cameras, which I suggested immediately when she bought the place, which I was thrilled with. So they do have cameras throughout the facility, not in the rooms or anything, but in the common areas."

"My father-in-law was at Somerset Court of Cherryville. I liked the level of care and the staff. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They had a good attitude. There weren't many options in food and it's a limited menu. They had plenty of activities there. They had bingo, movie night, and gift exchange for holidays and birthdays. They celebrate everyone's birthday. They took them out at Christmastime. They went to a parade. They'll take them shopping. They go to Wal-Mart and local stores in the area. They had a lot of people who were bedridden or in wheelchairs. The staff was so busy."

"Summit Place of Kings Mountain was very nice. It was warm. Everybody seemed to know each other. They had nurses on duty there and they just had a lot of amenities. The staff was very friendly to us and if we had any questions, they answered all of them. We met the guy that prepared the food and he was very warm. He answered any question we needed to ask. The staff was very good and they have a nurse and doctor there also. They provide your meals. They have lots of games and stuff and they put puzzles together. They were simply having a good time. It's right across the road from a middle school, but there is a hospital probably within a mile or two in downtown King's Mountain. Upkeep is great. It is clean. They keep it up well. They're expecting a snowstorm and the facility guy was outside putting salt out just in case they have a storm tonight."

"I liked Carolina Care Health and Rehabilitation. It was clean. It seemed like it was well run and everybody was friendly and nice. It's just hard getting in there. The room we saw was bright. It had plenty of space for your personal belongings in it. Both people had a TV in the room and there was like a wall in between so they wouldn't be looking at each other all the time. I liked that, too. The upkeep was good. I just wish they would call me back and answer the emails as they promised they said they would."
