The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Richmond County, NC

"I found Scotia Village for my parents, but they hadn't actually moved in yet. We're still in the application process. All the people that we met were very friendly and very knowledgeable. The place was very clean and had no odors. We had dinner with the couple that lived there and they loved it there. Their description of it was "It's like going on a vacation and never having to leave". The apartment that we were hoping on getting was an extended 1-bedroom. It was very good in size. My father was happy with that. My mother would probably have to go to the nursing home side. My father and brother spent the night there and had breakfast in the morning. Their dining facility and the meals were both nice. They had lots of social activities, in-house activities and they had field trips. They had a swimming pool, a game room and exercise room. "

"Mom was a feisty difficult elderly person with failing health unable to walk or care for herself. I did not expect miracles in a nursing home but felt she got them at Quale Haven. I slept good at night knowing they are highly selected professionals in their field that excel at what they do. I appearance, it may not seem world class at first glance but when I examined the care provided, it just might be. Doctor and nursing care is very responsive and knowledgeable. Building care and maintenance is clean and fresh smelling. Administrative staff is up to date on the ocean of legal changes and care billing guidelines. Staff all interact and communicate well. I felt mom received the best of care. If you want swanky, keep looking. If you want great care you can trust, look no further. I feel blessed. "

"When we visited Mt. Gilead Independent Senior and Assisted Living, we were shown around by the owner and we asked a lot of questions. There's a bit of a loneliness there because it's just a start-up. One of the things that did not attract her was that there were only about 2 to 3 people sitting around, and my mother is very active so she would have wanted more. The rooms were small and it felt more like an institution. It's an old refurbished building. What gave the institutional look was because they have cinderblock walls. It's very clean though, and they had a salon, they offered to bring in any services that you might need, and they also had transportation if you have to go out. The price is really good there, too."

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

"I was at St. Joseph of the Pines for a tour. They offered everything that my mother needed and everything that she wanted. They would give her her own apartment, and it's nice. I think it's a beautiful place. I like it all. The staff was super helpful. They were very kind people. The staff gave me menus and stuff like that, and it was nice. The rooms were super nice. You could fit a king-sized bed in there and other things, too. The place was super clean as well."
