Memory Care Communities in Asheboro, NC

"Sandy Ridge Assisted Living was a very nice and very clean facility. The director gave me a tour and she showed me all the different areas. They have a lot of employees, too. They can accommodate 120 people, and now they only have 60. It was very quiet. The menu looked nice. The rooms are large and very clean, and you can bring your own furniture if you want to. They're more like a studio. They have a bed and a dresser, and you can take your own chair. Most of them have their own bathrooms. They have a room for physical therapy. I saw several ladies sitting around the table, and they were doing an activity at the time. They have several activities posted. They have a little outside seating area. The staff was wonderful."

"I saw the independent living of Harmony at Greensboro. It was outstanding. I liked everything. The staff was also outstanding. They were very professional, yet friendly. The rooms were nice and clean, and part of that was because they're so new. I liked the floor plans. There is one thing that I specifically liked, I liked the fact that you could get units with two bathrooms. However, I didn't get as much information on their activities."

"Richland Square has just been purchased, so they're trying to transition into a better situation. They still have quite a few repairs to finish. However, all of the residents seemed very happy and comfortable, and that was a plus. There was not a whole lot to see. They only had one room and it was definitely a transition unit that's being worked on at this time. I thought the square footage was adequate with what they offer, but there was still quite a bit of work to get done. The staff members were very adequate, very friendly, and outgoing."

"My father has been at Brookdale Lawndale Park for 10 years. The service is good, and the place is clean. Dad is in a one-bedroom, that has everything he needs. He doesn't have complaints about it and enjoys his stay there. "

"Mom had stayed in Piedmont Crossing, which were very nice apartments. They had three meals a day. She was there for two years. However, she is in an early stage of dementia and we felt like that it was more of our fault than their fault for not understanding the care. We were under the impression that she would be able to transition into one of the memory care places, but it turned out they didn't really offer memory care. They had medical care and independent care, but there was no mental health care there and she wasn't really for medical because she was in a very good condition. However, her dementia caused confusion and caused her to forget to have her meals. She had a nice two-bedroom apartment and we furnished it with her household furniture so it looked like a little slice of her home. It had two bathrooms. It was pretty and it was on the ground floor. The reason we chose that was more for the size and so we could spend the weekends with her. The food wasn't great and the meal seemed to vary in quality from time to time. The service in the dining room also varied from time to time. There weren't many activities so you had to take the initiative for yourself. My mother had to sign up for something herself and it's up to her or us find out for something and then remind her about it. They took them out on outings and they had bingo. Some of the staff were good and some of them were not. Sometimes the phone calls we would have were distressing because they didn't know how to call and put you at ease. She wandered off the grounds one day and I had a terrifying phone call from them on my cell phone that said: "This is an emergency phone call regarding your mother. She wandered off of the facility grounds and was found her lying on a ditch by the side of the road." And I said in horror: "Oh my God! Is she okay?" And she said: "Oh yes! She's fine". And I said: "That what you should have started the conversation with. That's not how you tell someone what you just told me". She didn't understand that and that's frustrating. They told us that we had to come and stay with her round the clock. We had to pay for round-the-clock care until we could find another place for her and that's what we did. "

"I had my mom stayed at Coventry Place (Coventry Assisted Living). They took good care of her. She went there for respite care. They were really nice, and they had nice things to say about her. It was clean and appropriate. My mom didn't have any complaints. She said it was a nice place. "

"The Almost Home Group uses a different approach than most assisted living/memorycare facilities ... as it is not a facility but a home. Kathy, the owner, has a mission to help folks with memory care needs as well as other needs and her approach is to bring them into a home as opposed to a facility or nursing home. Our family could not be more pleased nor thankful. "

"I love this place! Lyman House is a safe and friendly environment for my husband. It is one of three houses. Each has room for 6 residents. The small size makes it very homelike. My husband enjoys the food. The caregivers are the greatest!"

""Almost Home" is a misnomer. It should be called "Better Than Home". I cared for my beautiful Mother for many, many years in my home. However, there was no way I could provide the care that these angels did at Almost Home. Love abounds here. Instead of regressing, my Mom flourished. Conversation, Singing, home cooked meals, games, walks, manicures, pedicures, hair styling, daily devotions, outings, on site medical care...everything is done with the most unbelievable love! The best place in the WORLD for the one you love! Notice the word used most here...Yes, LOVE! "

"My Grandfather developed Alzheimer's in his sixties. Our family was trying to care for him at home, but his health was quickly declining and he needed more than we were able to provide. We tried a nursing facility close to our home,, but quickly realized =he was basically "hospitalized" in a cold, sterile room with a window looking out onto a brick wall. The nursing staff were overworked and he was barely a priority. He declined even more. We thought we were witnessing the end of his life. We wanted a better quality of life for however long that might be, and looked into Pennybyrn. From the moment we walked in the door, there was a feeling of peace and contentment immediately. The community is gorgeous and immaculate, and the healthcare building was beautiful and homey. The households and rooms are welcoming, and the team members were absolutely the sweetest and most helpful people we've ever met. They instantly made my Grandfather feel welcome and began creating a bond with him that was heartfelt. We moved him immediately and he actually began to improve! He gained enough strength to walk and wheel himself around, his mental acuity skyrocketed, and his sense of humor returned. You could tell that he genuinely =enjoyed living at Pennybyrn and it was a miraculous sight to behold. We knew then we made the best decision in going to Pennybyrn and letting them create a home for my Grandfather that catered to his wants and needs and excelled his quality of life beyond our expectations. Pennybyrn is not perfect nor do they claim to be. However, if you are searching for a community that will truly love your family member and honor their right to the best quality of life possible, then look no further than Pennybyrn. "

"My uncle moved into the memory care of Piedmont Christian Home last month. It was very refreshing to have a place to put him that I feel like we can trust. We had a bad experience at the previous place, and so I find it feels like they actually care, and it made us feel good. It's an older place and small, but folks were nice. He has a private room and all the necessities that he needed, and it was very nice. So far, the staff is very caring, concerned, and professional. It's very clean and well maintained."

"The caregivers at Wellington Oaks are very caring. They seem to genuinely care about their residents and my mom is pretty happy with the food. She is in the memory care and everything is kept clean. It's an older building, but the furniture and everything seems updated and clean. They have an outdoor area where the sun comes out and you get fresh air. It's all concrete located in the center of the building, and surrounded by three walls and a glass area, but it's open. They have a large TV room with lots of windows and sunshine, which I think is important. Everything is open and clean. They do a lot of activities with the residents, like really nice parties for them, arts and crafts, and I even heard one time in the activity room that they were having a good time. They also keep the families updated on Facebook during this whole COVID thing so that we can see what's going on."

"Our father relocated to NC almost 14 years ago. His children live a great distance from NC. Up until recently our father enjoyed good health. However that abruptly changed and we realized he needed a senior community. Our dad prided himself on his ability to liver independently. When a health crisis developed both he and us realized that we were in crisis. Crisis is an opportunity to make positive changes. Abbotswood came highly recommended from many different sources. When we met with Sidney and other staff, we knew why. My dad is now in independent living which is important to him. We were assisted in linking my father to services he may need to support his goal of independence. It went beyond to assistance in moving etc. With our heart in our throats we returned home. One week later we returned and were impressed that just about every staff member knew our father's name, his likes and dislikes. Abbotswood seems to hire staff who are willing to go extra steps in making the resident and family feel a sense of belonging. I was impressed that one of the van drivers knew my dad's name and some of his likes and dislikes. Our dad has a great one bedroom apartment. We thought our dad would want to eat one meal in his apartment. He is too social for that, now enjoying three delicious meals daily. We appreciate the staffs' willingness to talk and letting me know that my father is doing well. As my father becomes more acclimated I know he will be joining in a variety of other activities including card games. As our dad has insisted in staying in NC, our mind is eased that he is in a great place that can plan for him in his final developmental task of life. Our dad embraces life and is grateful that he has lived as long as he has in good health. It is not easy for him to be the last man standing so to speak. We are grateful that he is in the process of meeting new people and perhaps developing friendships that can be nurtured. This is the environment that Abbotswood has created. We are grateful for all the help we and he has received. Thank you."
