The Best Senior Living Communities in Garner, NC

"My husband has moved into Avendelle at Lazy River. This place is phenomenal. They have been the sweetest walkers and caregivers, and it's run by a great man, Darren. My husband seems to fit right in. I'm just amazed by these people. They have listened to everything I've said, and they've tried everything they can. He's adapted so well there. It felt warm and it felt like a home and I thought he would like that better than a hospital-looking place. This is a locked facility, but it was like a home. He can walk into the kitchen and he has done so well. The staff updates me every day, "He's done great today," "He was such a joy today." I can't say anything wrong about this facility. This facility is amazing to me. I know they have puzzles, they have building stuff, and they take them out for walks. He got there at 1:30, and they warmed the food up and they gave him chips, a nice, good old ham and cheese sandwich, and cookies. They gave him iced tea until he pushed it away, he said, "I'm full." I just can't say anything, but wonderful things about this place. When the morning shift gets off, they empty all the trash, mop all the floors, and they clean the kitchen and all the bathrooms before they leave. It has been spotless every time I've been there. It was the best price of any place I went to. It was clean. The staff is wonderful, and they're hands-on. They check on him every five minutes. The price was reasonable."

"I toured The Manor at Saratoga. I like the facility. It was clean. The residents that I saw seemed to be happy. Victor, who gave me the tour, was very nice and very experienced. He not only told me about the facility, but he told me about the neighborhood. It seemed like a very nice neighborhood. He had a menu for the month posted, and activities. The only thing that I did not like was the room that they would put my husband in if he went to that facility, he would share a room with another person. I did not like that only because they told me at the facility where my husband is now, and when he was in the VA hospital here in Durham that he hollered out during the night. He called my name all night long. And I think that might be disturbing to the patient, and I wouldn't want him to disturb the other person. The Manor at Saratoga was also somewhat cheerful and inviting, so I liked that. It was welcoming."

"My sister is in Spring Arbor of Cary. It has a nice appearance. It's clean. The staff are very friendly, they're knowledgeable and it seems like they care about the patients. They have a country kitchen where they can cook. They do exercises and they do say that they'll take them out, but my sister has only been there for such a short time, so I haven't gotten to see all those things. They have a group dining room, which is good because then the patients get to see each other. The dining area looks like a restaurant with nice tables and stuff, and the food looks okay. It looks good. It's cut up so that they don't have to use knives or anything."

"I visited StoneRidge Gracious Retirement Living, and I liked it very much. One of the big pluses is that the managers live there. I met the manager and his wife, and both were very nice and very helpful. They explained a lot to me. They are in the process of renovating a lot of things, and that is a minus for me, right now, because I am not sure what the place is going to look like. The cleanliness was pretty good, though. The only objection I had was that they are redoing things. Some of the carpeting was not that good, but they are going to replace it eventually. The other thing is that the rooms I saw did not have a balcony. They have a 1-bedroom apartment that is slightly bigger than the others. I saw a studio apartment there, too. It was okay, but I'd rather have the 1-bedroom one. Their prices were about the same as the other facility I visited."

"All of the physical features are great...so are the meals. However, many of the Independent Living options that my wife and I visited shared these attributes. We have lived here 13 months now. What I now realize is that what I like best is the sense of community. It is something you can not directly see as you tour various options. I think here at Atria Cary, the sense of community is nurtured by all of the engage life activities and the open seating for meals. It feels like everyone is a friend. We exchange stories and many laughs at meals. We share and develop new interest at so many activities. Another "not-directly-observable" attribute is the management team effort to listen to feedback and suggestions from residents. They schedule regular feedback meetings for each of the directors to listen to comments and report back results of earlier suggestions. So, Atria Cary is an evolving community meeting ever-changing resident needs."

"I toured the independent living community of Jordan Oaks in Cary. So far, I liked it better than anywhere else. The people and staff seemed very nice. I met the manager there, and he was very good and very helpful in making me understand what was included and not included in the price. The location is very close to a lot of my doctors, so that is a very big plus. It was very close to town, toward Cary, and it was very easy to get from there to Fuquay-Varina. Everything seems to be quite clean. The place was very well-kept and neat. The structure was very nice. I also like that they have a library. It was small, but they had it. They have an exercise room, too. The apartments were just kind of what I was looking for. I'm looking for a 1-bedroom, and I thought the bathroom and closet spaces were very good. They had some amenities that were included in the price, which I like. Overall, I liked it very much."

"What I like most about Brighton Gardens of Raleigh is the residents. They were so pleasant that you knew they had to be happy there to be that pleasant. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, and they're attentive to any of your concerns. Suzanne helped us and she was great. Anybody we saw interacted with us and they were very pleasant. They were having a social that afternoon, and several times they invited us to stop by if we could, and we just couldn't do it, but they really encouraged that. Everything was very clean and very nice. I was pleased with it."

"We chose Woodland Terrace for ourselves. It is away from the very busy streets, so it's very quiet. It's just 2 blocks from Trader Joe's and all those places where I buy fruits. To me, the location was great. We only have 180 residents. We have a pond with a walking trail and ducks on it. The people here are extremely friendly. I just came back from a friendship committee where I am a volunteer. There are a few things that I would personally want different. But to me, the things that were of high concern were the heated pool, the walking space, the fact that it's not too big, and the freedom we have in this community. We have breakfast. You just get bacon and eggs and other choices. By 11:30, we have lunch. If you want dinner, you pay an additional $200. We cannot eat two of these meals. It's impossible. We eat fruit in the evenings and that's good. They offer the activities that I need and they have good facilities here."

"My parents have been living at IVR for almost two years! The apartment is huge! The building is bright and updated. I like the vintage feel it's also kept. The staff is helpful and kind, and they communicate well with the families. The PT/OT staff are great! The aide service Colin’s team provides is amazing and Colin and Mag’s are great at communicating with the family. Food could be better, less salt and fried foods. Buts the location is fantastic! Its about the kindness and communication that's so important when choosing a home for a love one."

"Cadence North Raleigh is very caring and attentive to its residents. It's a very warm environment. They have lots of wonderful activities and really good food. They celebrate all the holidays. Like in the fall, they have a festival, trunk-or-treating, residents' families that come in for barbecues out on the deck in the back with grills and everything, and a Thanksgiving dinner. They also do all sorts of flower arranging, yoga type or sit-and-be-fit type of exercises for older people, and walking club. Mom's apartment is very spacious. Her bathroom is very large and accommodating. There are two big windows that she can look out into a very wooded back that has a trail that you can walk on, and two big closets. They have beautiful screen porches and rocking chairs on every wing so you can always be outside with lots of flowers and gardens. They have a bus for transportation, too."
