Nursing Home Communities in Durham, NC

"My father has been in Parkview Health & Rehabilitation Center for a little over a month now. The best thing about them is the care that he has been getting. He's very happy there compared to where he was before. Everybody I came in contact with and dealt with has been great. I haven't tried their food. My father is very picky, but he likes the food. He is not going to like everything every day, but he has different options. When we go there, the food smells good. The rooms are on the small side. The first one my father had was fine, but he got moved to the veteran's area, and those rooms are a little smaller. It's fine for him, but when you have visitors, it can be a little tight. The only thing they can improve on is the cleaning. In the VA area, from time to time, you get an odor, but that's only in that area. The other area where he was before, I never smelt anything of it. It's not terrible, it's just from time to time, you can smell that somebody had to be cleaned or whatever. "

"I can't imagine finding a better place than Carol Woods. It's very high quality and extremely well run. The outdoor landscaping and sidewalks are very beautifully maintained and extremely safe. It's easy for anyone with a walker or wheelchair to get around, and the paths are well lit. It has a very pleasant outdoor environment. The staff is extremely easy to reach. My mother-in-law is 86, and she's not disabled physically but she wears a cord around her neck with a button on it, so if she falls or anything, she can press the button and someone on site will come to her right away. It's one of those continuing care places where you can go in fit and healthy at 60 and stay until you die at 98. There's so much going on and a lot of programs. There's carpentry, ceramics, fitness, swimming - anything you want to do is there. It's self contained and very well maintained. The dining room is good and has a great variety of food. I can't say enough good things about it. It's wonderful. She's independent, but occasionally she'll have a medical issue, in which case they put her in special location while she needs care and then when she's able to go back to her home, she does. She has a dog in her home and when she gets sick, they make sure the dog gets taken care of and walked three times a day. It's a wonderful, educated community. It's a pricey place, so most of the people who live there have come from very educated, very successful backgrounds. They contribute quite a lot to the programming there. So, there are always interesting things to do and special speakers who are invited. Retired government officials live there."

"Care provided at skilled care and rehabilitation centers is important to the healing and human will of each resident. I've researched a large number of facilities within the Durham/Chapel Hill area, and none of them compare to the care, professionalism, and culture at Signature Healthcare of Chapel Hill. You are the best at what you do! My Mom loves it here and treats the staff as our own family! And, because of the caring staff, their experience in the industry, and their due diligence in knowing the health baseline each patient under their care; ready to alert the doctors and act whenever there are changes, my Mom (and I'm sure other residents too) was blessed to see yet another birthday although she was given a less than one year life expectancy in 2017. On behalf of my Mom and other resident families, thank you for blessing us with your talent when caring for our loved ones. Thank you Signature for all that you do! Forever grateful, MimiG"

"I went to look at Treyburn Rehabilitation Center. Everyone just seemed to not know what was going on. I don't know if they were short-staffed or just stretched. The food was very bland and the chicken pieces still had some feathers in them. It was not good. It was not a very clean facility. When I walked in the door, there was a dirty diaper laying there in the hall, and there was an odor."

"I visited someone at Brookshire, so I got to see a lot of things there. The patients are waited on very well. They're not ill-tempered with the patients. Anytime that there's a problem, like if you have a roommate, and they're crying out loud at night, or something like that, they make arrangements to have that person or the other placed somewhere where it will not be a problem. They have a nice cafeteria. It's clean. It's much older, so it's not going to look as new and as pretty. They have a nice closet that both people share. The room is divided, and they had one bathroom between them. It's smaller than Mark's room where he lives. It's like each person has their own separate room, and then they have a little living area with a place for drawers to lock up their medicine in. I would not mind a member of my family being in there, because they are well taken care of. "

"My partner is still at Peak Resources Brookshire. It's one of the better facilities for skilled nursing in the area. I did a lot of research before I put him here. The people here at this facility are very, very attentive. As with any other facility that offers services, there are good nurses, and there are not-so-good nurses. Overall, Peak Resources Brookshire would be somewhere I would recommend to anyone who needed to have skilled nursing for someone for a limited time. My partner is here for rehab. They provide physical therapy, occupational therapy, and SLP therapy. Their food is pretty bad. Now and then, you get some salad, but most of the food is very starchy and fried. And it's like you don't get a choice like you would in a hospital. He has been here since January, and I've only seen two salads as a side dish, and he should have a salad every day. They provide all the furnishings and all his medications. Everything that he needs is provided here, except I do his laundry. I do not let them do his laundry. It's a private room; he has his private suite. He has his own private bathroom, a large closet, a hospital bed, a chest of drawers, a lamp table, two folding chairs, a lounge chair with an ottoman, and a TV. It's nice enough. "

"Glenaire was a beautiful facility with beautiful grounds and fountains. It was a lovely place and I could see why they would have a waiting list. We were shown the facility, the dining room and an example of the room that would be available. The room was well equipped and they went over the menu, too. "

"Like others, we were fearful of placing our 93 year old mother in a care facility but had no other option when she could no longer walk. I cannot tell you how thoroughly our fears were dispelled. Every single care giver was not just utterly competent, but completely caring and kind. My mom lasted 5 more months and we were there every day to help her with meals. Every care giver was diligent and caring, not just to our mom, but to the other residents we observed. Staff members sang to her while ministering to her needs - so very compassionately. We are grateful that our mom passed before Covid restrictions but remain grateful for the kind care she received there. I HIGHLY recommend the loving, caring staff of Raleigh Rex Rehab. "

"My father moved into Hillcrest Raleigh at Crabtree Valley. The staffing was great. They had a good team of OT and PT. We're working with social workers and things like that to get my father's Medicaid applications submitted and whatnot. The facility is clean."

"I have lived in The Templeton of Cary for two years now. I love it. The people are nice. I've made a lot of friends, and you can be as busy as you want, or sit in front of a TV. It's your choice. Lots of activities. It's fabulous. They're doing a wonderful job here. It's new. It's just two and a half years old. I like all of the staff. They're very nice, housekeeping included, they're good. They have strength training and balance training. They have a whole gym, chair yoga, there are all kinds of things going on all week. The food is good. I like it. And they have a wonderful saltwater pool and hot tub. They have classes in that and the pool too. They have all sizes of apartments from one bedroom to three bedrooms, or two bedrooms and a den, or three bedrooms and a den. It's great and I'm lucky I'm on the ground floor. I have a dog, and I just go off the porch into a yard. I like all the staff, they're very nice. The food is very good. They've had some trouble having enough kitchen staff. It's a problem everywhere in every restaurant. I think they're doing much better now. They've got some good waitstaff, but I think they could use another person in the kitchen. There's a wooded area, and there are gardens all around, flowers and whatnot. And they're going to put in a shuffleboard in a couple of weeks."

"The facility is older and not state of the art, as far as function and design, having really old furniture and crank beds which gyrate when moving the patient from up to down positions, etc. But the facility seems to be clean and well kept. Importantly, the staff and or CNA's seem well trained and caring and are attentive to the needs of those they care for, within what is reasonable to expect. The morale seems good. "

"I stayed at Cary Health And Rehabilitation. I was very happy there. The staff there and people were very nice, and my room was a good size. They also have activities for the residents and everything was good, including the food. They have physical and mental therapies, and very nice therapists. I wish I could have stayed there forever. They have amenities like a gym, exercising, and so on."

"The care at Rex Rehab is great! My mother in law has been there approximately two years . They are kind and caring, always happy and helpful. Recently my father in law fell and broke his hip while visiting. They were very helpful in getting him help and now he is rehabing there too. We really have been pleased with the whole experience. We highly recommend Rex Rehab! "
