Assisted Living Communities in Matthews, NC

"My mom moved into Brookdale South Charlotte. At first, she was very upset that she was there because she doesn't like being away from home, but she seems to be adjusting well. We've been very impressed with the staff there. They have all been very willing to answer our questions and take our calls because we've called a lot to check on my mom. We got to see her sitting there talking to people and laughing, so it was a good experience. My mom's room is fantastic. She got one of those rooms that are much larger than the regular room. The facility looks fantastic. You can tell it's been recently renovated and updated. They said my mom is eating, so the food must not be too bad, or she wouldn't eat. The dining area is very open with small tables for small groups. It had a homey feel. They have six activities every day, and they transition those around."

"I toured Brookdale Charlotte East. I love the apartment, and there was one apartment in particular. When I first entered, my vision of what it was was very different from what I saw when I entered the building. When I first entered the building, it appeared as if it might be a nursing home - a home where very, very senior people lived that needed a lot of care. But as I spoke with the young lady, Linda, we conversed, and she explained a lot of things to my daughter and me. And then she took us on a tour to look at some apartments. They were very nice. I really liked the apartments, which were one-bedroom and two-bedroom. I thought the price was a little bit high, particularly for the two-bedroom apartment, because it ran from $3,400 to $4,100. Brookdale was very nice. I would love to live there, but I would never be able to afford to live there, even when my finances are in order. Brookdale has beautiful campuses."

"The Pines on Carmel was very clean and very handicap accessible. I went to see an area where people could go out and just sit. I would have had to take my wheelchair for something like that instead of walking, but that was perfect. The woman who assisted me was very professional and very caring. She wanted to help me, but it was out of her jurisdiction to help me with my finances. She said she would have to have somebody else call me about that part, but I never got a follow-up call about that. So, I'm assuming that for what I needed, they just couldn't help me. I wasn't stressing over it, though. I was OK with everything. The visit was perfect."

"I visited Charter Senior Living of Charlotte and toured their assisted living facility. The facility was very nice, and the employees I met were very nice and very knowledgeable. They helped me understand how the process works. They were just ready to be available with anything that I needed. They were also very caring and compassionate. Everything was very neat and clean. As soon as you pulled up, the grounds were very neatly manicured, so it was very presentable. The room I saw was a nice size with a bed and sofa. It also had a little kitchenette with a refrigerator. There was no stove, but I think it was manageable."

"My father was not the most cooperative resident. We had used a larger facility for 6 years and, when the level of care declined, we found the Post at Mint Hill. It was absolutely the RIGHT CHOICE. Private room, extremely clean, home cooked meals, a smaller staff to resident ratio, easy access for family members 24/7, a great residential setting with room to sit outside or go for a stroll. On top of this their staff was phenomenal, patient, and caring. You can't go wrong with this choice for your loved one!"

"I toured Brighton Gardens of Charlotte. They offered a lot in everything that we were looking for, but it was way above our budget for what they could do. I loved everything about them. It was a very nice facility, and the lady who gave the tour was good."

"My mother-in-law was a resident of Summit Place of South Park. She has passed on now, but she stayed there. She started out in assisted living, and went all the way through to hospice. She was in assisted living first, then they moved her to memory care, and then she went to hospice. They were wonderful. Everything about that place was wonderful. They took great care of her, and the rooms were nice. We really liked it, and the staff was wonderful. The food was very good. They had a gym where she could go and work out. They had personal trainers that would come. Of course, we had to pay extra to schedule those. They had a beauty salon and a nail salon, a nice dining hall, a theater room where they could watch movies, and a game room where they could play cards or bingo. They had an entertainment room where they had piano players come and play piano for them and sing. They had a lot of activities for them. They also had a little courtyard as well. They don't have as big of a courtyard as another community I toured; it was a very small area."

"It was a small, clean, and a quiet community. It had an activity room, and it had outside entertainment that they bring in from time to time. The residents are also able to go outside as long as they don't have dementia. They do exercises outside to get some fresh air. They serve 3 meals a day. "

"This was my favorite place for mom. Charlotte the owner felt like a sister to me as well as Chenelle, the nurse and Latasha the day health care aid. She really got those ladies moving. It is a small residential environment for women. I think you'll be pleased. Thank you for all you do. Donna."

"I had a nice tour of Dilack Home. I like the atmosphere. The only thing they had was the available apartment suite, which was not within my budget, so I couldn't do that. Mom would have one bedroom that was pretty large. It was furnished and had a bed and your use of closet. In the apartment homes, they had their own little kitchenettes, which my mother did not need because she had dementia. The staff who gave the tour was very nice and very informative."

"My dad moved to The Blake at Edgewater. It was the one where I felt like it had more of a homey feel. It's very well-kept. They have been very nice and accommodating. It's very close to where I live, so it's a short drive for me to check on him, and it's been a good experience. I don't have any complaints about anything. They're very personable. I have personal cell phone numbers, and I can call and speak to them if I need to. He complains about the food every day, though. He is in a large one-bedroom apartment, and everything is up-to-date as far as the aesthetics of it. The bathroom is nice, large, and handicapped-accessible. He has a large closet. It's not a walk-in closet, but he can fit his wheelchair in it. Then he's got a kitchenette area. So, it's nice. They have great activities. My dad just chooses not to participate, but they take them out on trips, like go shopping or to other places like parks and things like that when the weather is nice. They do a lot of arts and crafts. They have people come in to do music performances. I've seen some kids and other people there singing and playing instruments. So, they seemed to have a good variety of activities. Their medications are just expensive."
