Senior Living in Brunswick County, NC

"I toured Spring Arbor of Wilmington. It's a nice community. I'm just not ready yet. The rooms were nice. The dining room was large, and lunch was good. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. They had a beauty salon, an exercise room, and a cafeteria. It was clean. The residents were good. They were dressed fine, and mealtimes seemed popular. They have a gym and transportation."

"Brookdale Wilmington is the only place I toured. It was clean. The people were kind and knowledgeable. They seemed very caring. They had availability, too. The facility was situated in such a way that they were able to have eyes on the people at all times. The rooms were adequate. The rooms didn't have showers, but that's okay. That means that my sister will have someone with her when she takes a shower. They were clean and very bright. There was a lot of light. It appeared to be well managed. The residents that I saw seemed well taken care of and seemed happy. Also, they had a low number of patients. It's not such a large facility. It's more comfortable."

"We toured The Woods at Holly Tree, and this was my favorite. The intake person was very knowledgeable, kind, and polite. We had lunch there, and the food was great. The rooms were nice. They have a room for physical therapy where you can go in and do workouts. They have a craft room, but they don't have a lot of other amenities at all. The place looked very clean."

"We toured the Cambridge Village of Wilmington. The person who gave us a tour of the place, it was a fairly new experience for her to be given a tour because we walked in unannounced. She gave us a tour of the only apartment available at that point, which was a smaller apartment. It was too small for me, but the closet space and the bathroom space were much nicer. I think some of the larger units that I did not tour would have been a lot more appropriate for me. Each of the units had a balcony, not necessarily allowing you to walk around outside, but to get out of the apartment, every floor in particular. The facility had people that were up moving around, all different phases, and different kinds of activities. I was much more impressed. I only met a few staff and they were great. They're very knowledgeable and I was impressed with what I saw."

"My mom fell and broke her neck. She went into the hospital and I got her in a rehab center now. She is now in Universal Health Care. They're very nice. They do a good job. They keep me well informed; they have been calling me. The staff members are very nice and very helpful. It's a very nice facility. She likes the food, too. I haven't been inside because the first two weeks they locked down for COVID. The facility is very nice, well kept, and clean."

"I was in rehab at Brunswick Novant for a while. It was very well organized and very clean with very confident and very knowledgeable staff, but they were a little slow coming when I pushed the call button. I could order whatever food I wanted. They had an alternate menu if I didn't like the choices that they had. The rooms are large, comfortable and well lit. "

"My wife has been at the Landings for the past 10 months. And I have been there for hours almost every day during this period. As such, I've had a bird's eye view of the facility, the procedures and most importantly the care my wife has received from the staff. Without exception, I can say that the staff has been incredibly kind and supportive of my wife and all others in the memory care unit. Caring for those with dementia and related issues is not easy and not for everyone. During these past months I never saw a staff member criticize, scoff, roll one's eyes or otherwise show disdain to a resident. My wife's condition continues to decline, and the staff has adjusted nicely to these changes. in fact, they've been quite creative in addressing unanticipated issues. I wholeheartedly recommend the Landings to you if you're looking at assisted living facilities in this area. And by the way, the management is hands on, the facilities are outstanding and the food is surprisingly good."

"I can't say enough about how wonderful Woodard's is. My sister attended until her health declined to the point she could no longer go. In spite of the challenges of caring for my severely disabled sister, the staff were all wonderful. My sister looked forward to the activities and socializing. I was told she was the " queen" of Scrabble. The meals are balanced and consist of delicious home cooking! Fish was on the menu the day I visited with birthday cupcakes and ice cream sandwiches. Woodard's is truly a blessing to Brunswick county!"

"My sister is at Autumn Care of Shallotte. The facility is not as nice. The care is not as high as I would like it to be as far as the nursing care and the food is not good at all. Her room is adequate. It has an adjoining bathroom that is shared with another room. It's a large room and it's adequately furnished. They help my sister with physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. I think the therapist has done a good job. The office people have been fine, but the people that are caring for her day to day, I'm not overly impressed with them. The only activity she's been involved in is therapies She hasn't been involved in any kind of activities other than that. Her rehab period has been covered by Medicare and insurance."

"Shallotte Assisted Living is an old but nicely maintained facility. It's awesome and closest to where we live. My father-in-law is extremely satisfied with the food, and he’s picky. He’s in a private, adequate room. "

"I have signed up to place my father in assisted living. Stephanie is helping me do this. She has made this process so easy for me. My father is a veteran and she even directed me to the VA to apply for aid and assisstance which I didn't even know existed. But it does and she helped both my father and I very much. Thank You!"

"~January 2015: Mom (age 95) was there for rehab after a bad urinary infection and disorientation, and hospital stay at Novant Hospital (AJ Memorial Hospital had no beds available). The entire staff was wonderful. Problem ... there are too few of them to go around and they have long hallways. Many times I saw them running to answer a bell. Everyone cared and tried to do everything they could to help. There are just not enough bodies to go around. There was never a mishap on drug dispensed. If the government spent less money on making the hospital beautiful and more on staff at the nursing home, we would all be better served. We do not need the "lastest" and "bestest" ... we need more good people. The nursing home is like a very poor sister. For shame on the powers that be. "

"I love the love and care that the residents receive. It may not be the newest facility in town but by far the most loving and caring. Believe me I would give some of the other county facilities a ONE star. But love my Southport Liberty facility."

"The rooms at Brunswick Cove Nursing Center were spacious and well lit. They have an activities director but they don't have very active or very mobile residents so the activities are limited to drawings, coloring, and games. They have outdoor areas. The dining area is cafeteria style, but it was still nice. The staff there was very nice too."
