The Best Memory Care Communities in Durham County, NC

"Everything at Clare Bridge is all right. The room is adequate. The food is acceptable. The recreational activities are all right. The manager is good. Overall, I think we made a good choice. They have town square activities and movies. Half of the people there are so far gone in Alzheimer's that they don't participate, but they get about half the people to participate in activities. This place is totally memory care. My wife has been there since October 2013. She gets confused, but she has finally become acclimated, and just the other day she said, "I'm doing all right and this is where I need to be." "

"My husband has decided with Carolina House of Cary. We’re just very pleased. It’s very clean. He’s in a companion room; there are two beds, two chests, two bedside tables, a recliner, and there’s a bathroom inside the room. All the staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly. My husband is happy so it’s OK. He’s been there only a couple of weeks, so I can’t tell much about the activities. They mentioned and gave me a calendar of activities, but at this time, he doesn’t need them. He’s going to therapy three times and seven different ones. I haven’t eaten there, but he likes the food and the dining area. They have choices when they go. We are impressed that everybody knows his name, and he’s able to get around. They have a living room facility, a sun room facilit,y and different large areas that he can go to; he doesn’t just stay in his room. "

"Brighton Gardens of Raleigh is a beautiful community. I like the common areas. When you walk in, there's a common room with a TV and couches, and there were people sitting there watching TV. You had a view of the dining room right away, which was beautifully laid out. I really like that. As you go toward even more deeply into the community, we could see the garden and the libraries. It just seemed like everywhere you went, there was a really nice place that somebody could just sit down and find something to do within those common areas. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. The common areas were very, very nice, but the rooms themselves were much smaller than what I was expecting. We didn't like the rooms as much, but we loved the common areas, and the level of care that they provide overall. The one-bedroom had a little kitchenette. It was an open area with a little living room area, and off to the side was a bedroom. You could pretty much just put a queen bed and a nightstand on either side of the queen bed, and a dresser at the foot of the bed, and that was it. That was all that would fit in the room. For a single person, that would probably be a nice layout, but since we were looking for my grandparents as a couple, it was incredibly small. We knew that wasn't going to work for them just based on the size. It had a bathroom in there as well. The facility looked well kept. There was nothing that seemed alarming to me. I know they said they were in the process of doing some renovations as well, but it all looked very good. They had a hair salon and a private sort of dining room that you could reserve for family events or birthday parties or whatever. They had a library on every floor. They had a room with fitness equipment in there, like their physical therapy room, they do your laundry as part of the package, and they had doctors onsite."

"Sunrise of Raleigh was very nice. My biggest concern is that they're telling me that they could provide a lot of services, which made me concerned based on their staffing pattern. The rooms were nice and everything else was nice. I just didn't feel confident with the level of care they said they could provide versus their staffing pattern. The place was nice and clean, and people seemed friendly and interactive."

"I went to the Reserve at Mills Farm. I liked it a lot. It was just more expensive, and not as close to my daughter. I looked at everything. Everything looked nice. The rooms were nice. The outside was nice. They allowed pets and we have a dog, so that was good. It had everything that I needed. I just thought it was a bit more expensive than I wanted to go to and not as good a location as I'm in now. It was a very nice place. I saw the menu, and they said they can accommodate vegetarians. It was a newer place."

"Woodland Terrace was noted for their dementia care, so we opted for the facility. The staff was accommodating. They had physical therapy, memory care activites and social activities. I would strongly suggest this facility to others. "

"Spring Arbor of Apex was nice. It was good and I like it. They have a lot of staff that has been there a long time, so the staff turnover is low. It’s small, but they have good staff to resident ratio. They also have a memory care unit. It was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and aware of what’s going on with the residents. "

"Our tour at Sunrise at North Hills was overall positive. The person who gave the tour was very helpful. The building was overall pleasant. I didn't like the entrance layout quite so much and it wasn't as easy to navigate around the building, but overall, it was a positive physical facility."

"My sister is in Spring Arbor of Cary. It has a nice appearance. It's clean. The staff are very friendly, they're knowledgeable and it seems like they care about the patients. They have a country kitchen where they can cook. They do exercises and they do say that they'll take them out, but my sister has only been there for such a short time, so I haven't gotten to see all those things. They have a group dining room, which is good because then the patients get to see each other. The dining area looks like a restaurant with nice tables and stuff, and the food looks okay. It looks good. It's cut up so that they don't have to use knives or anything."

"I like Carillon a lot. It was very nice. The room was a 2-bedroom with just enough space. The staff was great. Everybody was great. I don't know about amenities or activities, but I know they have a craft room. It was all good. The place was very clean. The layout was great. The dining area looked very nice."

"I toured The Manor at Saratoga. I like the facility. It was clean. The residents that I saw seemed to be happy. Victor, who gave me the tour, was very nice and very experienced. He not only told me about the facility, but he told me about the neighborhood. It seemed like a very nice neighborhood. He had a menu for the month posted, and activities. The only thing that I did not like was the room that they would put my husband in if he went to that facility, he would share a room with another person. I did not like that only because they told me at the facility where my husband is now, and when he was in the VA hospital here in Durham that he hollered out during the night. He called my name all night long. And I think that might be disturbing to the patient, and I wouldn't want him to disturb the other person. The Manor at Saratoga was also somewhat cheerful and inviting, so I liked that. It was welcoming."

"My mother-in-law was a resident at Lynn's Care Home at Riverside. We were very happy with the level of care she received while she made her home there. Ann Marie is very responsive and her staff are very caring and attentive to the residents. The care team to resident ratio is not something you will find at a big box and the familial atmosphere makes it feel warm and home-like. After this experience, this is the only type of residence I would consider and Lynn's Care Home at Riverside is second-to-none. Thank you for the wonderful care you and your team provided!"
