Memory Care Communities in Burlington, NC

"I toured Harmony at Greensboro, and it was very nice. The floor plan was open, and people were gathered around in different spots and talking. The staff was very nice and friendly and gave good information. I noticed that a couple of the residents were involved in physical therapy for some injury they had, and other people were having coffee and sitting around talking. They have a menu up for every day. The way the food works is that you can pick one meal a day, either lunch or dinner, that you want to have there, which is supplied."

"We placed our client in Spring Arbor. My daughter went with me. She has actually worked in a continuing care community and she knew more questions to ask. She liked the facility doctor, the unit, and the fact that all the staff were actively working. They had a good ratio too. Its family owned as opposed to a business sort of thing. It’s all in one community, but it depends on what your desires are for end of life care. They won’t take someone who is extremely aggressive. Spring Arbor had a really good memory care unit. It’s more home-like looking. When we first took her to Spring Arbors, she thought she was in a resort. There were a lot of things that were really impressive about Spring Arbors. They have a little café place, a library, and more community rooms of varying sizes. If the resident doesn’t want to be in their room in a shared room, there’s a place outside in the hall that they can sit and read if they want to. If they don't have a phone in their room, there is place they can sit and make a phone call outside of their room. Personally, one more thing that strikes me is I like the molding going down on the side of the hall. They had actually used something like trim work. It’s still smooth to the touch, but more rigid and easier to hang on to. I can use it for assistance to move down the hall. They’re just very thoughtful in a lot of things that they have done. They had nice outdoor areas too. "

"Overall, it's been very good. Mom's been treated very well in Heritage Greens. She's closer to where I live, about five minutes. They're food is excellent and the facility is very clean. "

"Chatham Ridge is a beautiful place. It is relatively new, but the rooms are not big. They're all single-rooms so you don't have an option of getting a bedroom and a living room area. They have one that is slightly bigger that has a little refrigerator, a microwave, and a countertop with sink, but it's not a whole lot bigger than any other room. That was the only drawback. The staff seems friendly. They're talking to all the clients. In fact, it was a beautiful day and a whole bunch of the residents were outside enjoying the sun, eating popcorn and hanging out. It looked like they're having a good time. It seemed like a nice place. The dining area looked very nice, too. It is not a very large place, but that's what's nice about it. The amenities looked very nice, but I don't think my mother-in-law will utilize a whole lot of it."

"There were nice facilities at Carolina House of Chapel Hill. It was not super luxurious, but it was neat and clean. The food was good. And the rooms were pretty adequate, and everything was fine. "

"Our deceaced mother received care here. Although the building is not new, the staff more than makes up for this!! We had mom at a facility that looked good, but we moved her into Clare Bridge later, and will forever be grateful for the memory care professionalism and consistently patient, caring and attentive staff. There is very low staff turnover at Clare Bridge, and family support meetings - both of which say a lot about the leadership. "

"Brookdale High Point North was more upscale than where my mother is. The one in charge of sales took us through and she was very professional and knew what she's talking about. Everybody seemed to be doing their job and the residents seemed happy. It looked really nice just from the quick tour."

"Spring Arbor is very clean and bright. My grandmother lived there before, and everyone was helpful. "

"WCS provided professional and supportive care to our loved one and family during a respite stay. The staff was courteous, patient, and assisted our loved one in a caring and compassionate manner! "

"Alamance House is wonderful. It's a homey place; it's clean. The staff is caring and kind and if they're not, they don't get to stay there. They didn't keep somebody with an attitude. I'm impressed with that because when you work with elderly, you have to be happy around them. The CNAs there and the medtechs are good. If you wheel yourself up to the desk and talk to them, they will respond to you and smile. The director is very good. They're really on top of things. The facility is only 1-year-old. It's beautiful. Mom has been there now since February and I am very impressed. They are really, really good to her and she is happy there. My mom is paralyzed on the left side so she doesn't have use of her left arm but she does participate in bingo and they have groups come to sing. They have preachers come to preach. The activity director does her nails on Friday. If you call a couple of hours before mealtime and just let them know so they can make an extra plate, you can eat with them. It's very reasonable. I do that from time to time and it is good food. I would recommend it. "

"My father moved into Abbotswood at Irving Park. The facility was very clean when I went in. You didn't smell the urine smell that you smell in a lot of places. The nurse-to-patient ratio was very low. There are only about 15 or 25 people in a group, so my dad gets more attention. They give us a calendar for every month of the activities that they do. They have sing-alongs, movie theme days, and bingo. My dad's room is nice. He's in a room by himself with a nice, large bathroom, and a large area for furniture. He has enough space for a bed, a couch, a recliner, a table, and a dresser. So it's a pretty nice-sized room. Since he's been there, he's been eating pretty well. The staff that I've met and talked with are very, very nice. They seem to be very patient with him and work well with him. It's a little bit more expensive than I would have liked, but for what I'm paying for it, it's worth it."

"For the most part a good facility, except for the food "
