Memory Care Communities in New Bern, NC

"I've been to The Village of Kinston several times because I have relatives there. The staff were very caring, and it was very clean. The rooms were very neat and roomy. The place was very friendly, quiet, and calm. The dining area is very nice, and it looked clean and appetizing. I am not sure what they do, but I know they do games and activities -- but as to what they are, I don't know. When I visited, they were doing games and exercising."

"Mom moved to Truewood by Merrill, New Bern. The accommodations are nice, acceptable, and clean. The food is good. It's affordable and the people are nice. The facility is well-maintained and easy to get around. I think they have a stylist that comes during the week, and when I first visited there they had a Mardi Gras party. They also have a salon and an area where they can meet for groups and activities."

"My dad is now in Home Place of New Bern. They seem to be doing a great job. They help him with daily activities. I like them. "

"We toured The Gardens of Trent. We toured the entire facility. It was very nice. It was clean. The staff was very nice and very helpful. I think the manager, her name was Kris, and she was very informative. She walked us around and answered all of our questions. I had a very good experience there. The dining area was nice. It was well laid out for COVID safety as well. Everything was spaced out and there were some TVs in there, and people sitting together, and it was nice. It was a little dreary. There was no carpeting on the floor, so it was very cold. They could use an upgrade with some decorations and some carpeting on the floor. The other thing that I wasn't happy about was that they didn't have the ability for the residents to have TVs in their room. There was no cable or internet going into the facility. I asked if I brought my mom there if I could bring a TV for her, and they said that was fine, but there's no cable coming into the building. I wasn't really happy about that. The rooms were clean. They were cold. But they said if you wanted to bring in carpeting and curtains and things like that, you could bring stuff in for the room. They showed us a single room and a double room, and they were both a nice size, they were big enough. They had their own bathroom and a closet. A lot of people bring in their own blankets and mattresses just so that the residents can be more comfortable, and that was nice to hear. Everything looked very clean. They had just taken down some decorations and they were getting ready to redecorate for springtime. The grounds seemed like they were very well-kept. Everything was clean, neat, and very orderly. The staff mentioned that there was a salon. The staff were all very nice and very friendly. Everybody who walked by spoke to us."

"The people at Croatan Village were really nice and very caring. The facility was about average, but I think it's the people that made it. They were very interested in their clients' well-being. They had all sorts of activities lined up. They're great to talk to. The staff member during the tour was very outgoing, very knowledgeable, a real people person, and seemed to know everybody that walked by in the hallway and what was going on in their lives. We went and talked to one of the residents that was in the assisted living, and she's a very nice lady, showed us around, and toured her room. We went and looked at the activity center and we looked out on the courtyard with the garden where they're growing vegetables and flowers for their group. I would definitely recommend it. The people were really caring there. The lady that runs it has been doing that for 32 years, and she's very knowledgeable."

"Nice community. Very clean, Staff seems to be happy to be there. Smiling faces of residents "
