Carteret Landing Assisted Living

ReviewerFC040325B

My parents are in Carteret Landing Assisted Living. The only problem that I am seeing so far is they are needing more care than just being old and living in assisted living. They need a little bit more than they're getting. They're complaining about not getting their medications. I have contacted the people twice and they said they are getting most of their medicines. The staff seems very nice and professional somewhat. The aides are very helpful and professional acting. The food is OK, nothing great, but they have a variety of different things they can get. It's very clean. It's not old looking. They have a lot of nice areas, a theater, an outside area that's nice, a living area that's nice, and the dining area is very nice also. They're trying to get them out of the room. They did go out of the room yesterday for physical therapy, so hopefully they'll get out more, but their health is not really good. They're not participating in a lot of community stuff. They have a lot of nice things going on there. I understand that things are expensive, but I think it's extremely expensive.

Carteret Landing Assisted Living was very institutional. It wasn't friendly. You weren't allowed to paint, and you weren't allowed to hang things. It was very impersonal. The staff member who gave the tour was very informative, very nice, and very polite to everyone. It would be much nicer if it was more personal. Also, my stepmother would not have been able to go outside unless she had an attendant with her.

I toured Carteret Landing Assisted Living. It's a very nice facility. They are very nice and very accommodating. They were doing some repairs on the roof, so they maintained it very well.

I like Carteret Landing Assisted Living. First of all, it's very clean, and I like the fact that it has a courtyard where my friend could sit outside if she wanted to. The dining room looked very friendly. The people who were there seemed to be happy. One of them said to me, 'The food is great.' The staff who toured me was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. I had some difficulty walking and she was very patient with me. It was 12:30 when I got there, and there were still a few people in the dining room, but most of them had left and gone to their rooms. Some were resting, some of them weren't, but I was able to see several of the rooms. They have kitchenettes that have a refrigerator, sink, microwave, and cupboards. They also have a facility that does not have those things, but you can bring in your own microwave and refrigerator if you want them. They have exercise rooms, too.

Carteret Landing Assisted Living was extremely clean. All of the residents seemed very comfortable and were enjoying themselves. There were many, many activities available. At the moment when we were there, some activities were actually taking place. The staff was extremely friendly. They were very aware of their surroundings. They seemed to interact with comfort and pleasure with the residents. There didn't seem to be a variety of living spaces. There was simply a very nice and adequate large bedroom with a small sitting area. If you wanted something bigger (like if you wanted a one-bedroom because you were a couple), you didn't have that option. They had living rooms, parlors, and private dining rooms. They had a big TV room, which was well occupied. They were actually having a movie afternoon with popcorn, which looked quite fun because it was full. They have a craft and hobby area for people at different times. They have fitness work, leg strengthening, and balance things, which seem very, very useful. They didn't have an actual gym with machines or anything, and they didn't have a pool.

Carteret Landing Assisted Living is a very new facility, very attractive. The interiors are upscale. The rooms are small. They don't have as big a room as the other place I went to, but they are the most attractive. The dining room is lovely. They have arts and crafts, they have a beautician on staff. It was just very, very attractive. They had a library. They had a piano that people could go play and TV rooms. The staff is very pleasant. The building is much newer, very comfortable, but not quite as homey as the other one.
