Carillon Assisted Living Fayetteville, NC

My friend has moved into Carillon Assisted Living. However, I'm worried because they charge $4,000 a month for a room which she shares with somebody she can't bond with. I like Carillon Assisted Living. I think it is a lovely, little place and my friend got some nice people that she bonds with; however, she can't afford a private room. From what I have seen, they are predominantly people that are older than my friend. There is one person who seems to be confined to a wheelchair and needs a bit more care. However, I find Carillon to have wonderful staff. They are so caring, so friendly, and nice. The community itself is very well appointed. They have a small knitting room with a fireplace. The ambience is absolutely wonderful. They do shopping, but I don't know too much about their activities. On Thanksgiving, they had a couple come in that entertained everybody; it was very nice. The food that I have seen was very good. They cater to people who have diabetes. In other words, they are cognizant of their clientele's eating requirement. The price is very high, though.

My visit at Carillon was excellent. Everything was great there. They had gardening, activities, and boards on the walls for the residents to focus on, like undoing locks and latches. They had a laundry basket on the table so they could fold laundry if they wanted to. They also had a beauty salon. All of the employees were very friendly, willing to help, and gave us a good impression. The rooms are adequately sized, shared by two people, and very cheerful looking and clean.

Carillon Assisted Living was very nice and clean, and everybody was really nice. I saw 2 different-sized rooms, and they were OK-sized. One was like a suite for a couple which had a couple of rooms to it, and one was a smaller room. They were having an open house where they had a chili mate for the people who were stopping by, and it was good. It was a nice place, and the residents seemed happy. The staff was really nice.

The staff seemed friendly and engaged. Carillon was a one-story facility, which I thought was nice, but it was kind of on the outskirts of Fayetteville.

My mother has been at Carillon Assisted Living for three months now. This facility is pretty. It is not overly affordable, but it is pretty. They have someone come in to clean their rooms and make their beds. They feed you. They give you your medicine. They have activities. They have a family night once a month. Residents can invite three people to come in and eat on that particular night. They have crafts and things like that in a room out there. They take some of their residents out to Wal-Mart or for a meal out. Her room is a good size because it is a private room. My mother is never going to be happy about living in this place, but she is content. There is nothing like being in your own home. Their variety of food is not the greatest, and that might be one thing I would say.

I like the cleanliness of Carillon Assisted Living. I also like that the place is quiet and the outside has beautiful scenery. Overall, the facility is really nice.

Carillon Assisted Living was very nice. The place was clean. The people were pleasant. Everybody was nice and eager to help in giving information. The room was very nice. The dining area was clean, had a nice atmosphere, and nice tablecloths. They served breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. They had activities like bingo and devotion.

I went to the open house of Carillon and it really impressed me. It was focused on my needs as an Alzheimer's caretaker. I was very pleased with their preparation for hosting the lecture; they have hand-outs and informative speeches. It was customizing care to the patients but it was out of our price range though. The dining room was gorgeous and it was like an upscale restaurant. There were carpeting, beautiful light chandeliers and lots of windows that look out on a lightly wooded area that was peaceful and attractive.
