The Best Senior Living Communities in Advance, NC

"The tour at Creekside Terrace was good. They were super nice. I went there with my mother yesterday and she liked it. I liked the cabinet in the rooms. The kitchenette area and the bathrooms were just slightly outdated. It's still nice and they had everything they needed. The facilities were great. The dining area looked very nice. I liked the way that it was set up. I really liked that they had a chapel and Bible study, and they had other activities, games, bingos, and puzzles. They've got an exercise area. There wasn't a lot of equipment, but they did say they were waiting on six new pieces of equipment. They were in the process of transitioning. Everything was very clean and all the common areas were updated and nice."

"Very Blessed to have such a loving and caring STAFF that truely put the Resident’s First by knowing each one of them and truely loving them. This is just not a job they do. It takes Special Individuals to do this kind of work and each and everyone of them take this to HEART when it comes to their residents the Staff just don’t look at these individuals as residents they are Family. . "

"We went up and toured Brighton Gardens of Winston-Salem. We liked it. We were very, very pleased with what we saw in the facility. The gentleman said it was an older building, but it looked modern and everything in it was nice. It is as well as we expected or maybe better. We saw a room or two and they were all clean and nice. The staff who assisted us was great. He was good. Everybody was friendly. We have no qualms about our visit to Brighton Gardens. It was nice."

"I saw Brookdale Reynolda Road through the eyes of my neighbor. She's 99 years old. There were an awful lot of people who were elderly and who were no longer in their activity level. Most of the people were in wheelchairs, and so I thought it was not a good place for somebody who is in their 60s and just simply wants to be in an environment like that and wants to still be living. These are for people who are done living. So from that point of view, it was a good place for my neighbor. I was shown the facilities, and I was very impressed with them. It's a lovely place. It's a very friendly place. It's very light, sunny and open. The personnel I saw there were smiling. I had a good feeling about the whole place. The lady who interviewed me was more than forthcoming with all the questions that I had. And so, I was just 100% satisfied with what I saw and heard. The staff members were all very friendly and very inviting. I was very impressed with the total interview I had with everybody. Everything was clean and uncluttered. There are big windows everywhere, so they're letting in sunlight. It made me feel good that the area around is green. There are trees outside. It's just a clean and friendly environment. It would be a perfect place for my neighbor."

"I toured Holiday Forsyth Court. What I like the most is they have three different sizes of apartments. So they're going to meet your needs, however you need them. If you want an efficiency size, they got it. If you need a larger size like I need, they got it, and it's very nice. They have a full kitchen or just a refrigerator, not an oven or stove. I still like to cook and bake. So I would want a full kitchen, which you still don't have to use, you can go to their dining room and eat because it's included in your fee. All of them are filled with refrigerators and some of them are even supplied with washers and dryers. They have a garden area where you can go out and sit and have a nice area, a gazebo area, to just go out and visit and stuff. There is a small area where you can have garden plants where you work together with the others who want to come out and plant some stuff too, you can plant flowers if you want. They do have daytime health care provided that's on staff. It's included in your cost of living there. It's just a nurse coming in. They come I think to your dorm or your apartment once a month. They make sure you don't have any problems with your meds and such and if you have a problem, somebody just checks you out or any little things you might just want or have a question for. They do have that there at Forsyth. The staff was great."

"I was very impressed with Brookdale Lexington. The memory care rooms were nice. The whole campus was nice and very clean. The people that we spoke to seemed kind and friendly. They were very nice and very knowledgeable. The director showed us around. She was very, very good at answering questions and doing the tours. Overall, it was a good place. I felt that it would be a safe place for my father, too, if we chose that. I felt comfortable there. They have a salon and a couple of gardens that they can go sit in and walk."

"I've toured Arbor Ridge at Stanleyville and I think this would be my choice. I was very impressed with it. My choice would have been the 1-bedroom because I liked the size of it. I liked all of the activities that they provide, and I liked the fact that there's someone 24/7 in case there's an emergency. It was very clean and decorated beautifully. The staff that took me on the tour and the one in the office when we came in were both very nice, very helpful, and very informative. I saw the library, the game room, the movie theater, a beauty salon, the dining room, and a lounge room for relaxing. There's also an area that the family could use for gatherings. I went to one area where the residents were playing bingo."

"I toured Mary's House Family Care Home. It was wonderful. It's like a home. I was very impressed with the inside. It was clean and very welcoming. I was impressed with the layout of the home. I think there were only two patients, and the staff said they would have up to four. I like this because the fewer patients they have, the better care they can give. Also, it's nearby where I could go and visit. The staff asked me different questions and things. They made me feel very welcome. I felt like everything would go well. The place was fine. Every room was immaculate. I was impressed. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The home was nice. Outside and inside, it was immaculate. It couldn't have been better."

"Oak Park Retirement is independent living, and we were very, very impressed with that. It was recommended to us by another facility. We liked the rooms. They were big and roomy. It just seemed like a pleasant place to live. The cleanliness was good. The staff was very, very friendly, very nice, and answered all of our questions."

"I took a tour of Arbor Ridge at Kernersville for my father, and the community was really nice. The grounds, the outside, and the inside were well maintained. She showed us the kitchen area, the dining area, and the activities room. They had a hair salon and a barbershop. Everyone was very friendly, and the person who gave us the tour was very thorough. She was really good and very patient, and she took her time to answer our questions. She helped us understand how the process works, and that part was really good. I would feel comfortable putting one of my parents there. It was that nice; I was that pleased."

"The rooms are nice and have everything that you need. The staff is very friendly and courteous. There is activities daily if you choose to do them."

"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."

"The staff at Brookdale High Point was nice. Their facility was nice, too. It would be my second choice. They had a model room set-up, which helped me visualize how my mother would be situated in one of the rooms. They showed me everything. They were extremely helpful and nice, and they've already called me this morning. The dining area was spacious and nice, too. However, the facility could use some updating. They have a beauty salon, but they didn't have anybody to work in it."

"Priddy Manor Assisted Living was very nice and new, but it was more expensive compared to the other places we toured. The rooms were nice. The residents decorated their own rooms. The staff was very nice and very informative. The dining area looked very nice."
