Memory Care Communities in Fayetteville, NC

"My mother will be moving into Harmony at Hope Mills. Overall, I liked the atmosphere. It seems like a lively place, with a lot of stimulation for the residents, and it has a lot of activities. The staff was friendly and seemingly helpful to the residents that were already there, as well as to my mom, who was visiting. They were interactive. They were present, and they were taking care of things. I stopped and asked a question, and they readily answered and gave me directions. It was really clean. The director of admissions advised that they were getting ready to remove the carpet that was in the hallways and put in just plain flooring to keep some of the traffic down. It was a very nice, pleasant atmosphere, well decorated, and well maintained. The interior of the room is very nice. It is a little small, but it has adequate accommodations. I got a very good overall feeling about it. My mom liked it. Even though it's a somewhat scary thing for her, she's excited about moving there, so it's a good thing."

"Spring Arbor of the Sandhills was a very nice community. We did not visit the room. We just kind of met with the admissions coordinator. After she talked with my mom and asked her questions, she said, "This might not be the level of care that you're looking for." It may have been more of their nursing home type of facility that we visited, and that's why she came to that decision and referred us to look at a more assisted or independent living situation for her. She did a good job. The facility itself was very nice, from what we did see, but we did not do a complete tour. She was very helpful, nice, very professional, and knowledgeable, and she listened to what my mom was wanting and what I was wanting for my mom and said this probably is not going to be the right place. That made me feel good because she wasn't just there to get numbers. She was concerned about what my mom needed, and I really appreciated that. It appeared very clean. The interior of the building was more traditional."

"My mom is going to stay in Fayetteville Manor. It is a great place. They have all kinds of activities that they do with the residents -- church, singing, exercising, arts and crafts, gardening, and more. Absolutely, I would recommend it. It is only for Alzheimer's and dementia patients; they only have Alzheimer's patients there. "

"My parents moved to TerraBella Fayetteville's assisted living facility. We like that it's a smaller facility and a convenient location. They also have good transportation services, and they're absolutely friendly. The one thing I don't like is that they don't have a set-aside exercise area for the seniors. I also wish they had more activities. Other than that, they have good food, which I definitely enjoyed. It's also very clean and well-maintained, and the staff is knowledgeable, caring, and friendly."

"I'm not too much in favor of The A.R.C. They let my husband fall, but the biggest problem was that they didn't call me. He fell at 10:00 p.m. and I didn't find out until 9:30 the next morning, and by that time, he was at Chapel Hill in ICU. Overall, I think they should take better care of their patients. My husband had a nice room. He ate in the dining room with everybody else, and that was fine. I can't say anything bad about the care, except the night he fell. As far as the building and everything, it was fine. For activities, I saw them batting balloons, and they had some arts and crafts going on. My husband didn't stay there very long. The staff seemed to be good with the patients, but I didn't get to know them. It was also a little expensive."

The Eastover Gardens facility was originally opened in the ’50s as a motor court hotel servicing HWY 301, then the main north-south thoroughfare from Florida to Maine. Sometime in the ’60s the building was converted into a nursing home to better meet the needs of the aging population of Cumberland County. Throughout its over 30 year history the facility has seen many changes and renovations, including the addition of a new wing and dining facility. In 2008 the Weeks began to implement their vision of opening Cumberland County’s only free-standing Alzheimer’s and dementia care facility.
