Assisted Living Communities in Boone, NC

"My brother did some respite care for a month at Generations Ashe Assisted Living and Memory Care. I chose it because I heard good reviews from people I know who recommended it. The facility was very clean, had no odor, was and just well-kept. His room was clean and efficient. The staff was caring, kind, and nice. They did try to encourage him to do activities like games and movies."

"The staff of The Heritage of Sugar Mountain are what makes this place special. They vibrant and caring people that enjoy the residents and are always interacting with the residents. You can tell a lot about a facility by the residents moods and friendliness. Each time I've visited the facility, I have always had positive interactions with the residents and staff. "

"I would not recommend this facility for a cockroach. The people who work there are so rude with the residents. If there is someone that refuses to eat they will not take the time to coax them with positive comments. This place also has 3 shifts. I was visiting during the beginning of 2nd shift and was not very happy. They should have someone on the hall while another one does showers or whatever they do first. However, the 2 CNAs that were working both went to do showers at the same time. There was no CNA on the hall. The med-techs have no bedside manners with anyone here. The food here is horrible. I was visiting once while during Supper. They were served half cheese sandwich, small bowl tomato soup, and small bowl of mixed fruit. I do not think that was acceptable. Also, they are hateful with all residents especially during medication time. They tell everyone to wait until they hand out all medicines. I would not take no one even an ant to this facility. I think that the state should just go down there and shut that place down. I do not recommend even considering this facility for your loved one. I have been in there and will never go back what so ever. IT IS HORRIBLE AND NASTY. I do not even think that they had restrooms for visitors. I think just employee bathroom. SO AWFUL. "

"Shaire Center is very clean. They have a very friendly staff and all of the residents are dressed, alert, and well cared for. They have plenty of nice spaces for visits as well as incredibly nice rooms. Each different unit has its own activities list appropriate to them. Plus, they have in-house physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. For memory care, they have games, sing-alongs, and worship services. They were the best of any place we visited."

"My sister is currently at Wilkes Assisted Living. It's a very clean place, and all of the people that I have been in touch with have been very helpful. They call me if they need to ask anything. If anything happens, they let me know. Her room is very nice. She doesn't participate in many activities, but they offer most activities that other places offer. I saw their schedule, and they offer a lot of things. The dining area is very clean, and the food looks good. She was in their nursing home side, and now she's in their assisted living. The staff is very kind, caring, and helpful."

"I have just moved to Rose Glen Village the day before yesterday, and so far it's been great. I have a really good and big enough apartment. The staff is really special since I've known a lot of them for a long time. The food is really good so far and there are a lot of things to do. So far I don't have any complaints about anything. It's the cheapest place I could find."

"this nursing home was very clean. The nurses were very rude, when i tried to see my grandmother they prevented me from doing so. The food i saw them feeding the residents looked gross. The overall outside of the nursing home looked quite nice and neat. I personally would recomend putting your loved ones in this nursing home, because the serivce and care of the residents are up to standard. The only problem i had was when they didnt allow me to see my grandmother, but it was understandable, and hasnt happened again. The do keep my grandmother clean, especially since she wears adult diapers. The make sure she is changed quite frequently, and dont allow her to get rashes. The feed the patients snacks and main course meals. Another complaint i do have is that they allowed another resident to hit my grandmother, i think this issue should be resolved by removing the resident but they wouldnt do that. My overall experience is pretty good, the good out weighs the bad. "
