Assisted Living Communities in Southport, NC

"The lighting at Cedar Cove Assisted Living was very dim. The halls were not as wide and they would not allow my dad to have his scooter there, which would have been an issue with the length of walk that he had to do to get to the dining room. Other than that, they were all friendly and polite. I've had meals there and the food was good. The apartment we saw was just one big room with a bathroom. My dad was supposed to get a private room, which he wanted, but they didn't have one available (they have some private rooms, but most of them are semi-private). They have a nice dining room. I know someone that has been there for about three years. So, I've been out there many times to visit and most of the residents were very social."

"Had my mom there for a year before we moved her to a memory care as her condition worsened.However it was the perfect place for her in this season of her life.We had a .Great experience-the staff was both professional and personable.The job these folks do day in and day out is admirable.They know the residents by name and provide a warm caring home community. Highly recommend."

"I am so thankful my Mom and I landed at The Commons at Brightmore. She has been living in Paraklay Way for about 2 years, but was a resident in two other units prior to this last move. As Mom's cognitive status has changed, the staff has gently adapted along with us, and has patiently educated me as I struggled with Mom's dementia. A a staff member said recently, "This is her home. We are all a family." And I am ever so thankful for that sentiment and the care they give that reflects it. What a gift to hear a staff member say, "Oh I love working with this population. It just speaks to my heart." And I have heard that over and over. I get photos of my Mom when I cannot be there for a few days, they are patient with my worries, and let me partner with them in activities and celebrations when possible. My Mom loves these kind, talented, caring folks as do I. "

"Dad hasn’t been there very long at Brightmore of Wilmington, but we find them very receptive. We liked it very much and we are very pleased. I like the overall philosophy of the care that is given there. The staff has been wonderful. They have all the usual things with regards to the activities like outings, bingo, bridge, and current events. I would absolutely recommend this facility to others. "

"Shallotte Assisted Living is an old but nicely maintained facility. It's awesome and closest to where we live. My father-in-law is extremely satisfied with the food, and he’s picky. He’s in a private, adequate room. "

"My father is at Leland House. They seem to be a caring bunch of people. It's a smaller facility. The staff is very friendly. He's in the memory care locked down facility. There are two people to a room and they have their own bathroom and cable TV in their rooms. The menu looks good. They have a little courtyard they can go out to. The pricing is reasonable."

"I have signed up to place my father in assisted living. Stephanie is helping me do this. She has made this process so easy for me. My father is a veteran and she even directed me to the VA to apply for aid and assisstance which I didn't even know existed. But it does and she helped both my father and I very much. Thank You!"

"I like the fact that The Davis Community is a little bit lower in price than the other places we looked at. They have a really beautiful facility, and my dad is happy there. I had a meal there, and it was very good. They served salad like romaine lettuce with tomatoes and carrots and a lot of vegetables in it, and they served chicken meatloaf, and that was very good. They have a lot of crafting-type activities. They have bingo a lot. They have entertainment come in. My dad was telling me all about a man who came in and played the guitar and sang and stuff and how enjoyable it was. When we went there at the very beginning we were looking, it was near Christmas time, and they were having Christmas parties and stuff and it was very nice. The staff members there are wonderful."

"I don't think there was anything I liked about Champions Assisted Living. It was empty and dreary. There was nobody anywhere. It was a hodgepodge. There were three floors, but you couldn't get to the third floor unless you went down to the second floor and take another elevator up. It's too confusing for me, but I think part of it is because it's under construction and we also had a very new tour guide, which was horrible. He didn't know how to cater to our needs or our wants. We went here, there, and everywhere. When we went in there, everybody was very happy, very nice, and very helpful. We only waited a few minutes, but the lady that gave us the tour was not well-versed at all. We had friends there before and my father was in the other part of it one time and the food was quite good. I didn't get to see everything, but if you go online and look at it, it has everything you want, that's why I called it the Taj Mahal. The independent living is probably one of the best in this area and it's just rated very high. It was very expensive, but I was very disappointed with it. The facility itself was nice, but it's all over the place and I didn't like that. I don't have Alzheimer's yet and I have a hard time understanding it. I don't like the assisted living facility at all. A lot of it was under construction. It was bad timing on our side, too."
