"I also visited Clare Bridge of Asheville, and this place was excellent. They were in the right price range as well. They have the biggest place for their memory care residents to wander, and their residents looked happy. I found the facility to be very well managed and maintained. "

"Harmony at Reynolds Mountain is very friendly. You feel at home the minute you walk in. The floor plan layout is the best in any facilities we looked at. Everything looked clean and well-kept. It looked like they had plenty of activities. You find anything you would like to do. They have assisted living available if you need it. It is in a good location, too."

"Mom moved into TerraBella Hendersonville. It's very clean, bright, and cheerful. She's in assisted living now, but we're waiting for a bed in memory care. The room is nice and comfortable, and the staff is very helpful. The dining area is very bright and clean, and it's a cheerful atmosphere. It's not a down type of atmosphere. It's very cheerful. We're still discovering the activities, but they have movies and singing. It's a good value."

"I had to move my relative immediately and Spring Arbor was available at that time. It was also the least expensive facility that I could find in the area. We also chose this facility for him because it was a lockdown facility. It is close by. This place is very nice. It is also well-decorated. They do have adequate services and activities for their patients. He has been there for two weeks now. He is in a shared room and it is a very nice room. There is furniture already provided for him.

"Arbor Terrace of Asheville was a lovely and high-end facility. They put a lot of time into first impressions in terms of furnishings and decor. However, the facility was small, so the physical common area space was very small. The hallways were narrow and tight, and they had few rooms on the first floor. Most of the rooms were on the upper floors, but the dining room was on the first floor. They have two different sizes of studio apartments, and then there are 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. They told us about activities, but they're a bit more limited. They have an activity room, they can do arts and crafts, they have a small library onsite, and they have a beauty shop onsite. Its location is in a more commercial busy neighborhood part of South Asheville. However, it's significantly more expensive, not just for the base rate, but for the activities of daily living levels. The tiers are significantly more expensive. The staff who toured us was wonderful. She was very kind, very thorough and very informative. They showed me the menu, but none of us tried it."

"My husband is in Cardinal Care, and I am very happy with it. I like the friendship of the caregivers, and they are very caring people. They are always in his room, talking to him, and he is not left alone. They take care of their patients. They are very loving and very kind to them. The rooms are very large. They are very nice. They have huge windows. My husband's room overlooks an area with grass, a picnic table, and a patio where he can look out and see other people outside. He can go out if he wants to. In that certain area, they don't have to be supervised to go out. He likes to walk. They have 2 huge closets in his room and a big bathroom. They furnish the bed. You can bring anything in that you want from home or buy furniture for it to make him comfortable. We put in pictures that he likes. We bought some plants in for him. It is very homey. They have a new nutritionist there. They have very good varieties of food. They had a Saint Patrick's day party for the family and friends that wanted to come. They had corned beef, cabbage, and everything, and it was very nice. They have older bands that come in and play songs that they know. They also have parties. They have bingo and all kinds of activities. There is an activities chairman there. They have different things for different people. They have ice cream socials and movies. They also have physical therapy there for the people that need it. It is a very nice place. They take good care of the people. He is always shaven and always clean, and they check him every 2 hours.

"Haywood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is the only one that takes Medicaid. It's not bad, most of the people are nice. My mom doesn't do activities because she has dementia. Mom has been there for about 5 months. She's in there full-time. They're not letting anybody in right now [due to Covid]."
