"Home Place of New Bern is a very nice place. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. They answered all our questions. We had a tour and dinner there. We got to sit down with the residents and speak to them about their experiences. We also saw the rooms; they are very nice. When we were there, they were having a movie party. "

"I chose The Courtyards because basically it was nearby and it seemed to be pretty popular, it was recommended by a few people. The rooms were spacious enough and most the staff were very good. The food was pretty good most of the time but they can improve on the food service and delivery. There are activities for the residents to make them busy. "

"We toured The Gardens of Trent. We toured the entire facility. It was very nice. It was clean. The staff was very nice and very helpful. I think the manager, her name was Kris, and she was very informative. She walked us around and answered all of our questions. I had a very good experience there. The dining area was nice. It was well laid out for COVID safety as well. Everything was spaced out and there were some TVs in there, and people sitting together, and it was nice. It was a little dreary. There was no carpeting on the floor, so it was very cold. They could use an upgrade with some decorations and some carpeting on the floor. The other thing that I wasn't happy about was that they didn't have the ability for the residents to have TVs in their room. There was no cable or internet going into the facility. I asked if I brought my mom there if I could bring a TV for her, and they said that was fine, but there's no cable coming into the building. I wasn't really happy about that. The rooms were clean. They were cold. But they said if you wanted to bring in carpeting and curtains and things like that, you could bring stuff in for the room. They showed us a single room and a double room, and they were both a nice size, they were big enough. They had their own bathroom and a closet. A lot of people bring in their own blankets and mattresses just so that the residents can be more comfortable, and that was nice to hear. Everything looked very clean. They had just taken down some decorations and they were getting ready to redecorate for springtime. The grounds seemed like they were very well-kept. Everything was clean, neat, and very orderly. The staff mentioned that there was a salon. The staff were all very nice and very friendly. Everybody who walked by spoke to us."

"The Viridian was brand new, very posh, very modern, clean, with high ceilings, and very welcoming at the same time. They had a grand piano in the foyer, glass everywhere, that kind of place. Everybody I met was wonderful. The tour was excellent. They were very knowledgeable. They have a doctor on staff, which is nice for an assisted living place. They had a wonderful rec room. They had a media room where they had a gigantic TV for people to watch movies. They had the standard barber. The whole place was very slick. There's no carpet because the carpet is a trip hazard. It's just flat tile throughout. The rooms were quite large. They were very well set out. We did not eat lunch there, but we saw menus and the food looked really good based on the menu alone. There's a separate dining room for company, if you want to have a big Thanksgiving dinner, and you arrange it. There's a huge dining room table where your whole family can come. They do trips. They have an activities director, so something is going on all the time, all day, games and that sort of thing."

"I did volunteer work at this facility. I've been there several times and I found the staff to be very nice. I liked the fact that the activity director was creative and brought in different activities for the residents of the home. The residents seemed to be very happy, and they enjoyed participating in activities. We played games with the residents and let them win tickets to go "shopping" for free gifts. It was a lot of fun. I saw church groups coming there, choirs, musicians, and arts and crafts teachers. I also took a tour of the entire facility and saw the assisted living suites. Let me tell you, they are nice. I was really impressed. The residents had decorated their doors and it was so cute, and really seemed like a home. The residents had independence, yet still had staff just down the hall. I also liked the fact that this place was very clean and it smelled clean. I also visited the non-suite side and everyone seemed happy and things looked fine. "

"Sommerset has a very friendly staff and patients are free to enjoy the facility as well. The facility was clean and seemed to be well organized with distribution of meals, medications and more. Patients are allowed to go outside to enjoy the sunshine on bench seats displayed out front. As you enter the facility there is a family room set up for patients and family to enjoy visitation comfortably. The workers seem very busy; but I notice that they are focused on the patients; which is good. The rooms occupy at the most two patients per room, some are private only. This makes it nice for those that need a friend or just are loners. When you enter the facility you are required to sign in as the visitor or other persons of interest. They do have a library that brings books for the patients to enjoy. The patients were well kept by staff upon my viewing clean and comfortable. "

"I once visited carebridge assisted living to visit a family friend during the holidays. She is very close to everyone in our family and her well being is extremely important to us. Upon entering the facility I noticed a very warm, clean and friendly environment. The building itself was very well maintained one thing in particular were the bathrooms. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The care and concern they show for there residents is very evident. The lady at the front desk was very polite and helpful when trying to locate our friend. Our friend who was a resident in the facility was also very pleased with her stay. She has grown a special bond with her caretakers and they have made her feel very welcome and at home. This made us feel very good about her well being and to know that she is so well taken care of. Overall all I would highly recommend this establishment for anyone considering assisted living facilitys in the jacksonville area. I look forward to visiting Carebridge again in the near future. "

"We chose The Cottages of Swansboro for my sister because of the location, the price, and what was included in the price because it's a flat fee. They don't charge extra if medications are required. Everything is included in the flat rate. It's very nice and very affordable. It's a home setting, so each person has their own room. There are six people in each cottage and everybody has their own dining room and living room within the cottage. Everyone comes to the table and has a meal as a family. Each cottage has one house mother to six residents. They have three or four shifts throughout the day, but they're always assigned to the same cottage. They have a staff that goes through all the cottages to give out medicines. The food is fabulous and homecooked. Each cottage has their own laundry facility. I love all the people there. It feels like family. The director is fabulous. We are happy with it so far. They have an online beauty shop and an activities director, do art, play games like Jeopardy, and have a little bus that takes them to different places. They have therapy dogs and gospel groups that come in."

"My dad has been in Liberty Commons since March 15th. It's an assisted care facility though there are some nursing home patients in there as well. My dad is in a shared room. It's a little bit small for a semi-private room but it's not too bad. This is better because he doesn't want to stay in a private room. There's 24-hour monitoring system, but my dad has ample freedom and he can go if he pleases. The staff are wonderful and their food is also wonderful. It's a really good facility. "

"Everything is well at Lighthouse Village. It's affordable, and my grandfather is doing fine. He's getting along with the staff. They love him, and he thinks highly of them. I don't have any complaints. It's clean, and they've got a 97% sanitation rate. The food is outstanding. My grandfather looks forward to it and he loves it. They make sure he takes his medication. It's well worth it. The bathroom is right by his room."
