Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Greensboro, NC

"River Landing at Sandy Ridge was fabulous. It was clean. The staff was wonderful. There were five or six residents that opened their homes to us. Everybody loved it there. They only had wonderful things to say about it. They were very glad they moved there and they wished they had moved there sooner. It is welcoming. I met five different couples who just love it there. The food that we had for lunch was good. The whole community is beautiful the way it's laid out. They have all the activities that I'm interested in, and they even have a nine-hole golf course right there. They have a swimming pool and organized activities."

"My mother is in Countryside Village Retirement Community independent living. She's gonna be moving later this week to the assisted living part. It served all the basic needs. It's a good community. The residents were very friendly to one another. The staff is very polite, very patient and understanding. She's been there just short of four years. She has a two-bedroom apartment that's handicap accessible and has a spacious floorplan. The overhead lighting could have been better. Bingo is an activity they offer. They had coffee for the residents in the mornings and exercise, which they call seniorcise. They usually have a social on a monthly basis in the activities room or lodge. There was a library and an outdoor courtyard with a gazebo. She will be moving into a whole separate section of the complex, and it's a private room. They just provide one meal in independent living; that's lunch."

"My mother is still at Twin Lakes Community. It is excellent. Moving into assisted living, they have a brand-new facility, which is beautiful, very accessible, spacious, airy, and enjoyable to be in. The staff are very personable and very caring. Whatever is requested, it tends to be done almost immediately. They're on the spot, they're there to care and they show it. They have a cafeteria style, and the food has always been very good. It's onsite and only probably 40 yards away from where my mom lives. It's expensive there like anywhere when you're in assisted living. But at this point, because of the religious backing and of being a foundation-oriented organization, once you're in, you're in through all your life stages. They're more expensive than others. But once you run through the assets, you turn to Medicaid, and she's still there. She's on Medicaid and is receiving the same services as if she was paying the full amount. "

"What I like about Village at Brookwood is that it's a small place and once you are in there, you can go to different stages with where your health takes you. It’s a beautiful facility. I also like the small-town feeling. They had us over for dinner one night with two of the ladies that live over there, and they have wonderful food. The ladies were very nice too and very interesting to talk to. They have all kinds of activities, like they have yoga classes, they take people to concerts or if there is something special going on, they arrange that and they take them by bus. It is very, very well organized. The apartment that I am interested in is a one bedroom apartment and it is large. It's very, very well planned. "

"My tour at Home Place was superior. It was a very reputable place, and very nice. They have a physical therapy room, and dining facilities. The staff has been excellent, and very attentive."

"We are on the waitlist for Piedmont Crossing. We toured it and we selected a patio home. It's more like a regular home and it's not in the main campus area. I think we'll be able to start with independent living. You can migrate to assisted living if you need to, and then they also have skilled nursing. We get full access to all the main building amenities. They had a gym, recreation, and a dining area. They have field trips and stuff on site, and they have a movie night. They have about everything we would need now. The room is a two-bedroom, and a bath and a half. It's got a little front porch and a back-covered back patio. It's 1100 square feet with a living room and a kitchen. We will cook mostly since it's got a full kitchen. It was big on my list to have a full kitchen and a washer and dryer."

"My brother is at Brookridge Retirement Community. It is fabulous. It is the most wonderful place. It is clean and lovely. Everybody has been kind, cooperative, and as helpful as anybody could ever have been. I'm blown away by how wonderful it is. My brother has a private room and the room is great. Views are all over the windows. You look out over a forest. Driving into this place is like driving into an estate somewhere. It is wooded. It's just ideal. He's not completely cured yet, but he tells me that they've done exercises almost every day. He says he is doing better. The people are helpful and unbelievably kind and supportive, even the man who answers the phone. When you call, you're immediately hooked into somebody. You get beautiful Beethoven music while waiting and somebody answers the phone right away and they tell you where you are in line (I've never been higher than two in line). The place is lovely. Just perfect. It is great with nice-sized rooms. It's always clean, neat, and well-lighted, but cozy. For my brother's money, it's just been a great spot."

"We like Salemtowne. It's very pretty, has a very nice apartment, and has very nice people. Everything is great about it, the location, the food, the people, and the support you get. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. We have a kitchen, but there's a dining room, and we can go there. There are many activities, although we haven't done any of them yet. The place is very clean and kept up maintenance-wise."

"I went and looked at Homestead Hills, and all the employees were extremely nice and very supportive. They were very caring, attentive, and answered all questions. The facility was very clean. They were extremely helpful, and they even followed up."

"We've been to The Bayberry Inn 3 times, and my mom's already got a room reserved. It's closer to where we're gonna be living, she didn't wanna be too far away that she couldn't drive to our house. It was the closest one we can find that's suitable to her. The staff is excellent they're the best; real friendly and nice. It's a small community, they only have 21 rooms so it's small, and they treat them like family. It's very clean, in excellent condition, and actually the room mom is getting is being painted, and new carpet, new tile in the bathroom, and they're gonna steam clean the curtains, and they take real good care of it. They've had no COVID in there at all, and they're picky of who comes to visit. It's just an excellent place. The layout is all indoors, and momma wouldn't have to go out in the weather to go somewhere and visit somebody, and now she does. It just got a nice, real nice homely feeling to it. They clean the rooms every day if you want them, they supply furniture, but mom wants to bring her own, and they take them on trips, they do games, crafts, bingo, and chair exercises."

"My mother stayed at Compass Healthcare and Rehab Hawfields for about a week. It was nice and clean. The room was pretty nice and plenty big enough for her. The staff was really friendly, very courteous, and kind. On Wednesday night, she could go to church services and things like that. She ate in her room. She didn't go to the dining room, and she seemed to like the food pretty good."
