Nc State Veterans Nursing Home

I chose NC State Veterans Nursing Home for Dad. It’s good, the staff is very polite and very helpful, and the place is very clean. It’s homey, and the food is really good. His room is good, big, and well-lit. They have bingo, cards, and movies. Their facility is set up for veterans, and only veterans can go there. I'm satisfied.

My dad has been in the locked memory care wing for just over a year. The staff has been unbelievably great, always taking a moment for me if I have a question, concern, or dad needs help toileting. The food was mediocre, but has gotten pretty good over the last several months and continues to improve. There are twice-monthly group meetings for family members, and quarterly in-depth one-on-one health care meetings. I've visited the facility at least 100 times, and have smelled human waste on maybe only two occasions - very impressive.

My mother was a resident on B wing for 3 years before she passed. Cleaning and cooking staff were very good. I had many conversations with the top administrator and staff under her. The conversations were a waste of time. If you have a problem file a written grievance or call the police. I lost count of the many complaints to DHHS concerning her care. Scabies.fractured bone, black eye just to name a few of the health care problems my mother suffered at this facility.

We are in the process of trying to get my grandfather into North Carolina State Veterans Home. It seems to be very active, bright, and open.
