The Best Communities in Raleigh, NC

"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."

"Whispering Pines Gracious Retirement Living was nice. Everything is included in one price. The food's very nice. The staff was also very nice. They gave me a proper tour and I enjoyed it. They had one bedroom, two bedrooms, and studios. They had quite a number of activities and of course, they all had gyms. They take some trips if you want to go to close facilities like grocery stores."

"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."

"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."

"Capital Oaks was great. They even have a Koi pond inside. I really liked it. The apartments he showed me were really nice and big. Brett was very knowledgeable, explaining things very well. I liked him. I also met Rachel and Stephanie in the dining hall. Everybody just seemed nice and friendly. The food was great. They had pork potato soup and it was delicious. It was on top of my list."

"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 will be moving into Atria Oakridge. It's friendly and clean. They provide meals and they clean your apartment. The bedrooms are a little small, but they have a den, and the apartment I was looking at had a screened-in porch you could go out on and sit and enjoy the fresh air. I liked that about it. They have activities. They have video bowling, poker night, and other social events. All the staff I have met are very friendly and I met some of the residents and developed a friendship with one person. He's friendly and we talked a lot. They're the best place I looked at and I looked at several places."

"I had a tour at Falls River Village Assisted Living and the facilities are very good. I was impressed by what they had to offer. It was clean and they have a nice dining room. They don't charge for an assessment but the results and the assessment determine the rate. The room was fine, and you have to bring your own furniture but that's not a problem. They got a beauty shop and the staff that gave me a tour did a nice job. I like their security system, they have a dial-up code in before you leave."

"Falls River Court has a very welcoming atmosphere. They are very in tune with the needs of a person with Parkinson's and dementia. So, they are more equipped to understand my mother's needs and we are hoping that will be a better fit for her. It's a smaller community with fewer residents in that area, but more nurses to help. The staff was outstanding and very skilled in what we needed. They were asking us questions about her that we were going to ask them. So, that was very comforting. They told us that they would check on her every 15 minutes, which is very helpful because she is a fall risk. Their activities focused on the memory care residents and the good thing about it is they were asking me, what were some of her interests because they want to be able to cater some of the activities to what she's interested in. They also have a salon, a patio, a sunroom, an outdoor area to sit in, and a lavender-scented room where they could sit and kind of relax. They do art classes, cooking classes, and my mother loves to plant herbs and so they have an herb garden. I like the fact that they said that the cafeteria was painted with a color that entices the appetite of residents who have dementia."
