Nursing Home Communities in Garner, NC

"Brian Center Health & Retirement was a skilled nursing facility. It was noisy and I could hardly hear the girl that was giving me a tour. It was expensive. They were updating some rooms, which was no big deal. Walking down to the room that I was going to see, the hallway was noisy. I don't know why it was. The staff was fine. They were accommodating. I just didn't get a good feeling on it. The building was nice. With Covid, you have to sign in and wait for them to unlock the door."

"My cousin stayed at this facility for 6 six weeks. I've visit him numerous of times and watched him from beginning to end. The nurses were very helpful and concern of his needs and made sure they were met in a professional manner. The nurses learned all of our names within a week. They were constantly assisting him getting him stronger and stronger. If it wasn't for those people my cousin would not have gotten his strength back as quick as he did. "

"My brother was at Tower Nursing and Rehab Center. I think it was a very good nursing home. They didn't take the privileges away from their patients. The patients had much freedom as they can. They have a nice porch in the summertime where the patients can go out and sit. They have a nice TV room. The patients can go and watch TV. They had the same freedom as if they were in their home, which was good. Also they were always supervised. The patients enjoyed this facility because they were getting a fresh breeze. "

"I had the opportunity to tour The Oaks at Whitaker Glen. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and the order apparent right upon my arrival. A lot of assisted living facilities have a cold sterile feel to them, but I didn't feel that way at all! The staff was very welcoming and open. They answered all of my questions and even gave some additional insight about various things that I would have never thought to question. I noticed some students working with the residents and I was put at ease that not only were the students courteous and conscientious in their work, but the nursing staff was close by to offer assistance while allowing them to maintain their independence.Additionally, I was quite pleased with the availability of single and double rooms and the sizes of each. The move to assisted living isn't an easy decision for anyone, but I felt confident and assured in the ability of the staff at The Oaks. "

"My mom is at Wellington Rehab. She has been there for three months. However, they don't do well at all with communication about bills or the family member. They suck. My mom went there from an ALF to this facility because she needs more assistance. Back in December, she was still on her insurance. In going there when she was very sick, I told them if she was off of her insurance to let me know because I have to start to self-pay, but they had not been billing me, and I had not heard anything from them since December. I had to pay four months of a huge amount of money because they had not billed me, and I thought that was just crazy as hell. But now they got me on radar, and I guess everything is going smoothly. One thing I will give them as long as I keep my mom there, the nursing staff and the care they give her is excellent. The nursing care for my mom is the most important thing. If I can pass the headache with the administration, they I'll have the headache, but if it’s the other way around, I will take her out of there. The most important thing is the care for your loved one. Their laundry department -- as far as clothes washing -- sucks because they lost 100% of my mom's clothes the first time they washed them, so I went in and picked up all my mom's stuff, and I have been washing them ever since. They have the worst laundry department. "

"My daughter was there in September on hall 4 and has been there at least 12 times for Respite Care. Management has recently changed with most, if not all rooms now being single occupancy. this is a major improvement. The staff seemed less "hurried" and the check in went well - the staff was observant and we felt comfortable with her being there. One thing I would change is having to see both Admission and billing persons separately because they were not both available at the same time (billing was in a meeting BUT Admission did get it all done. Previously you only saw Admissions. We will continue to use the facillity ."

"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."

"My wife fell and broke two bones in her ankle, so she’s in Rex Rehabilitation Center right now. They do a pretty good job of physical therapy and another therapy. She has a shared room with a roommate that she gets along with OK. Their rehab facilities are good. Sometimes she likes the food, sometimes she doesn’t. It’s generally pretty good food, but my wife is sort of peculiar about what she eats. The facility is nice and clean. "

"My brother was in Crabtree in Raleigh, North Carolina before he passed away. It was a good experience for everybody. He was in a real bad shape, but the physical therapy people were very good. I was very impressed with them. They all really did the best that they could to tell you the truth. The room he stayed in was nice. The facility is always clean, and it didn't smell like a hospital or a nursing home. I guess the food was probably OK. He was on a full diet, but he didn't eat very much. It is so tough on the CNAs because they have so many people to take care of which is crazy. They all came every two hours to turn him, and they were very nice to him. "

"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. "

" As you know, taking care of an elderly loved one can be quite a challenge. Taking care of a sick, elderly loved one brings many extra layers making it an even bigger challenge. On behalf of our family, we want to extend our deepest and utmost supreme gratitude to the staff of Universal Healthcare Fuquay Varina. We do not know what we would have done without this facility. Our thoughts are no longer consumed with worry over my Aunt Ruth's care. We feel relieved knowing that she is getting a paramount level of care. The entire staff is expedient, courteous and most of all compassionate. Our family can never truly express the fullness of our gratefulness for what they do for us. The staff makes my aunt and our family feel very comfortable and very safe. My mother once told me that Ms. Prosper, the director, made herself available to lend a hand with taking care of the resident’s basic daily needs. That was very, very commendable of her since usually, directors are not, as they say, expected to jump in the trenches. Ms. Ongechi is always there making sure each resident is given the best care possible from her nurses, the administrative staff makes themselves available to address any of our concerns and finally, Ms. Omer, the Director of Admissions guides us through this journey. Because of these factors, our lives can go on as before because we no longer feel anxious about her care. We would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and responsible place for their loved one. Again, we thank the entire staff for what they do for the Hicks family. Respectfully, Velisa G. "

"I am and always have been very impressed with Windsor Point. My grandmother moved in over 12 years ago and she has always been delighted to call Windsor Point her home. She moved into a cottage when she first moved in and then downsized to a two bedroom apartment in one of their apartment buildings. I think they call it the London Taylor building. It was just recently renovated. Due to a change in her health she has been needing some extra assistance and is moving to their assisted living facility. I've met with the staff of the assisted living and everyone seems to be great. The facility is clean and free from odors like a lot of nursing homes that I have been to. Other than the staff, grandma says that she loves the sense of family that she has at Windsor Point. She has made so many new friends and is able to stay in contact with them since they are located on the same property. AND the food, the food is wonderful, I come and visit her on Sundays and they set up a special room for us to have lunch together. The food is just like home cooking, actually better that home cooking cause I can't cook. If you're looking for a place for a loved one, Windsor Point is it. "

"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! "

"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. "
