The Best Memory Care Communities in Buncombe County, NC

"My tour at the Brookdale Asheville Walden Ridge was over the top. I was very pleased with them. They are the ones that have followed up with me and tried to help me (more than any other place). It was clean. The staff was very receptive and very nice. The director or sales manager was very helpful. They had a lot of activities for their patients. They had a lot of activities inside and out. They would take them on small trips. The dining area was very nice and well-kept; the whole place was well-kept. There's an area with rehab, which was really good."

"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."

"Heritage Hills Senior Living was fine. The problem that we found was that it was too far for me to drive. It's on the other side of Hendersonville, but I liked the cleanliness of the place and the way it was kept up. They showed us the recreation room and where the people were staying and socializing. The guy that gave us the tour was good."

"I visited TerraBella Hendersonville. They have a memory care unit, but they also offer assisted living, which is what I looked at. I was very impressed by it, especially it's not that long after a hurricane. When you come into the place, it's very open and airy. The residents interacted with each other very casually, you could tell they were comfortable there. They sort of looked out for each other. I liked the fact that everything was on one level and that also applied to the outdoors. They had a very nice sitting and walking and gardening area, but it was all on one level, so you could easily go wherever you wanted to go, which is very important to a lot of people. All the staff I interacted with had plenty of time for my visit. I don't have any reason to give it a bad rating, and everything I had was positive."

"Carolina Reserve of Hendersonville looks very nice. We're very happy with them. The accommodation is typical. My wife has a bed, a chair, and a bathroom. The one negative is she had a roommate for a while that was stealing her blind, but the roommate has been moved out to someplace else because she was doing that. That's the only negative I can see. She's now in a room by herself. The meals look adequate, and she seems to do all right with the meals. They have a day room with a lot of sofas and chairs and a big TV set. They also have a lunchroom where everybody goes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have another social room which I was in for the first time today. They have an outside patio, so when the weather gets warm, they can go out and sit in a rocking chair. It's fenced in, so they can't escape. It's adequate. The staff is good. They're very caring and helpful. I've not had a problem with any of them. I went in and talked to the nurse and some of the orderlies, and they're fine. They only can do so much during the day, and they're busy all the time. They are very busy but keep the place up as well as they can, but it's not perfect."

"I toured LaurelHurst & LaurelWoods. It has very friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful. It has a very nice setup, and the rooms and the dining area were nice. However, there was no availability."
