"My sister will move into Kerner Ridge Assisted Living. The staff seemed knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. Her friends had their parents there, and they said the food was delicious."

"Priddy Manor was very classy, very well decorated and very beautiful. The staff was very informative. It felt very welcoming and kind of like you're at home."

"I placed my mother in Walnut Ridge. They have very caring people. It is very clean. They are great. I will highly recommend them. "

"Clare Bridge is very clean and very nice. It is large enough where it is not crowded. It is very well maintained. She's been here for two months, and I'm very happy with everything they do so far. They have various physical therapy types of activities because they are all Alzheimer's patients and they can't follow instructions. They play balloon football and dance holding on to the back of chairs and things like that. "

"Carolina House is a nice and fine facility, but it has a larger Alzheimer’s unit with 18-20 patients. They have double rooms, or 2 patients per room. They have arts and crafts. I would recommend this place to others. "

"I went to Heritage Greens. I love the entrance to it, I love the inside of it, and I love the common rooms and the dining room. They had this monstrous fish tank that was just beautiful. They served us lunch, and I was very disappointed with the food. I really don't like the salesperson. I put down $500 because I thought this is going to be the place. I called the saleslady and I said I've decided not to go with Heritage Greens. I said I understand I won't get the $500 back, and then she started asking me some questions, which was fine. When I told her the deal I got on the other place, she said, "You know, that's just too good to be true." I didn't like that. It's like telling me I'm stupid and I've made the wrong decision. I didn't think that was professional at all. She even called again a few days later just to confirm, and I said I took the other one. I was not impressed with the sales rep at all. The other people seemed very nice. The apartment was on the first floor. It was very dark, but it was very pretty. They had crown molding and it was painted a beautiful color, but it was very dark. Outside the window, there were hedges, which covered almost the entire window, so I wouldn't have gotten a whole lot of light coming in. It almost felt like I was in a basement. The kitchen was absolutely absurd. The kitchen sink was so small, and it didn't make sense to me. I also did not like their pricing at all. They offered you a price for the apartment, but for your meals, you could choose one of three plans. You could choose the bronze, the silver, or gold. The silver, you got two meals a day, and the gold, you got three meals a day. I also thought the pricing for the meals, if I was going to bring in a guest to have dinner with me, was absolutely ridiculous. The food was not good, and I would never have paid that at a restaurant for that kind of food. I saw how easily they could increase prices. If not on the room itself, they could do it on the meals anytime they wanted to. It's a beautiful place and I think a lot of people enjoy it, but I was pretty much out of their price range when I started adding in all the other things."

"Spring Arbor is a fantastic and beautiful place. It’s a fairly new place and the rooms had good carpets and cabinets with nickel handles. They had good programs for the people there. They had music programs and dinner dances. The lady who worked with us at great length visited me at home a couple of times. "

"My mom has moved into Mary's House Family Care Home. We chose them because of the size; there are only four residents. My mom is still confused as to why she's there, but we're working on that. But so far, it seems to be good. She enjoyed the food, so I think it's fine. She has her own room there, it's just a small setting and it's nice. It's winter, so there's not a whole lot of outdoor activity at this time. However, when it's been nice, they have gone outside. She has not complained about the food. It's a very nice facility. I think they're all way overpriced, but the last place she was at, for what they charge, she got minimal care."

"We went to see Harmony at Greensboro. It was very, very nice. We were about to place my husband there because it was so much cheaper to get in, but they do not have skilled nursing. We didn't realize that. We had actually put money down and everything, but we backed out. We toured independent living, and it was excellent. It is so much cheaper to get in. It was $3,500 to get in. I thought it was excellent. I had lunch there, and the food was just fabulous. There's just no skilled nursing, but other than that, it's fine. All of the staff were just very nice, not pushy, very factual, and very nice. The location is fabulous because it's so close to everything."

"The staff was fabulous and my tour experience has been awesome. They keep the residents engaged, when I was there they had music playing and the residents were sitting in the common area. They had a beautiful courtyard, and my parents' potential studio apartment overlooks the courtyard, which I loved. The staff seems to truly care about the people. I had a really good feeling that's why I went ahead and registered them and paid for a month. In the future, when it gets to the point that I need to move my mom, I'll look at them again. It's an older place than where my parents are now, it's not fancy, but we're not looking for fancy."

"I went to Brookdale Lawndale Park. I checked both assisted living and memory care. I would recommend them. The people were very nice. The facility was nice. The room was small, but cozy and nice. They had a library and a chapel. It was all decent."

"I am a resident of Forest Heights Senior Living, beginning my seventh year here. Obviously, I love it or I would have moved elsewhere. I have seen a multitude of changes here, making each year of my residency better than the one before. Of course I would rather be living in my own home--who wouldn't?--but since I cannot, there is no place I would rather live. The staff turn themselves into pretzels trying to make us happy and comfortable. No request goes unconsidered and is acted on if at all possible. I am encouraging my father to join me here as he is beginning to see the need for more assistance and I certainly would NEVER want him anywhere but the best possible place and FOREST HEIGHTS IS THE BEST!!! In fact, the state of North Carolina has just declared my home DEFICIENCY FREE!! I find little to criticize and much to love in my assisted living home. Come visit and talk to the residents as well as the staff. We will tell you how great our home is! "

"Homestead Hills Retirement is all incorporated. It's got everything inclusive. Assisted living if you need it, private rooms, and dining rooms. I mean, it's just one monthly payment and everything is paid. The staff is wonderful. They're a great staff. I've moved my dad in. He has a two bedroom house that's about 1200 sq. ft. It's very clean because they clean it every week and that's included in their services. And, the outside property is maintained by the outside landscaping firms, so everybody's fine. "
