Guilford Health Care Center was our first experience with Rehab Centers. My sister needed rehab therapy after a terrible fall. As her guardian, I needed to choose from a list of rehab centers that were Medicare approved and that worked with the Cone Health System in Greensboro. We popped in for a tour, without any notice to the staff. The facility was clean, did not smell, the staff appeared to be happy in their work and the residents / patients were not parked in the hallway forgotten. We were told that my sister, who has Down’s Syndrome, could be treated there with no issues. We had exceptional service – literally from admission to discharge. The staff treated my sister with dignity and respect, keeping in mind her reduced capacity during her recovery. The staff went out of their way to ensure her safety and well being. They found unique ways to increase her healing and rebuilding her life skills. The staff were tremendously gracious and sincerely loving towards my sister. The meals were not typical "nursing home" foods. They smelled good, many items to choose from and a few "off menu choices" if you did not like the main features. The dining staff new my sister’s name, her likes and dislikes and did everything they could do to accommodate her preferences. The housekeeping staff were friendly and did a fantastic job of keeping the center clean and spotless! The PT, OT and Speech Therapy staff were wonderful, kind and went above and beyond in my sister’s therapy. Every staff member at GHCC that came in contact with my sister greeted her by her name, asked her how she was doing and most gave her hugs. There were activities that included musicians, bingo, spiritual services, etc. All I can say is that we had a wonderful experience and would recommend this facility.

Stopped by seeking admission information for our elderly father. Called first, but calls went unreturned. Then finally got a response asking to call back. We decided to drop by to talk in person. We were told that the admissions director was not in her office, After a few minutes, we could clearly see that she was. After going into her office and asking if she was the admissions director, We got the impression that our presence was some how not wanted. Not really sure why. Hope it wasn’t race related. Also hope that race does not play a role in the admission process. If so, it would degrade the whole Quaker aspect of the facility.

A few hidden gems among the staff
CON’s: No one answered the call button my first night there…no bathroom assistance…no medication…no nothing. And I could not walk.
I had to throw things out my door and into the hall to get their attention. Once I had it I requested immediate discharge…the Director, Assistant Director, and another VIP person talked me into staying and gave me their personal numbers which ended up being a saving grace.

My mother just moved into WhiteStone nursing home. The staff members are pretty helpful, and they are good for the most part. She’s not real thrilled with the food. The upkeep and the layout are good. It’s under construction right now. They’re doing a two year refurbishment of the center, so that entails some noise. The independent living side is wonderful; I’d give that a five. She moved from independent living and she’s in full-time nursing care now. They’ve been pretty well shut down up until about maybe three weeks ago. They had a COVID infestation, but that’s been cleared up now, and they are just resuming activities since last April, and she’s fairly happy with that. It’s a gated community, so there’s security at the gate. There was no visitation allowed from November, and it just resumed in April. It’s kind of expensive, but I don’t have anything to compare it to.

I would never put a loved one or friend in this nursing home.
The smell is terrible, even the bedrooms. The staff is not as caring as they should be. You will have to go to a nurse desk to ask for help. The staff and doctors are disrespectful! The staff/nurses don’t check in on the patients as often as they should, they expect the patients to feed themselves while sitting in their soggy diapers. I went to visit this nursering home to put my loved one in, and i didnt recieve great service. Also i saw a patient sitting outside when you walk in smoking with a nurse sitting inside not caring.
Thats not great service they should treat the patients like their parents or grandparents, because this is the job they signed up for so they should do it properliy.

The facility was clean, they had friendly staff and they appeared to be concerned with their residents. The facility provided various activities for residents who were able to participate. There were events such as game night and movie nights that allowed residents to be able to get out of their rooms and mingle with other residents. Each hallway had a cute name such as "Robin Way", which made the place feel like home. Instead of just having a room number, they had "street" to go to. The staff seemed to be knowledgeable and the residents seemed to like them. They treated residents with care and respect. Since most of the residents are elderly, it was nice to see them give respect. They called patients Ms. Or Mr. and their names. Even though many of the residents are older and sometimes rude, staff knew how to deal with it properly. It was nice to see the staff attempt to make the facility feel like a home away from home for their clients.

They are irresponsible, incompetent, rude, doesn’t have your love one best interest at all. Brother In law been in this facility for two weeks and he still have no phone in his room. There is no communication, no updates on the patient status, you call this facility for help and you get nothing in return. The staff will answer the phone and then leave you on hold for a very long time (45 minutes) to be exact without the courtesy of picking the phone up and let you know that they are still working on your problem. They have no customer experience, it is evident that the customer/ patient isn’t their best interest. I can only imagine what the patient must go through on a daily basis with the attitude this nursing home shows their customer. It is a embarrassment to have my brother in law in the facility, do yourself a favor and find another caring nursing home that will look out for your love one and will put your love one at the top of their priority list. This is unacceptable and a disgrace to patients who needs care to be place in this home.

The people working there are not only very capable, but they are also extremely caring and pay attention to their residents.

Once she was admitted we were told they didn’t do bed rails nor bed alarms any more. Didn’t bring supper until 8:30 and meds at 9.

After all of this I told him if he would help me put her in the car I would take her home. He told me to call my family for help if I wanted to take her home and good ridence.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Greensboro, North Carolina
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.

| Resource | Contact | Services |
| Meals on Wheels | (336) 333-6981 | The Meals on Wheels program delivers a hot and nutritious meal to seniors in the Greensboro area. The meals are delivered by volunteers at around noon each day from Monday to Friday. These volunteers take the time to visit seniors and make sure that they are well and don’t have any issues they need help with. To be eligible for the program, seniors need to be aged 60 or over, homebound and no longer able to prepare a meal for themselves. A small donation is requested for each meal, but no senior is turned away for not being able to pay towards the meal. |
| SHIP | (336) 373-4816 | SHIP is a program that is funded by the federal government and the state of North Carolina. The program aims to assist seniors and their caregivers by providing free and unbiased information regarding state health insurance plans and benefits. Counselors can help seniors to apply for the health insurance plan that best suits their particular situation and ensure that they are getting any benefits they are eligible for. In addition, the staff members can explain financial assistance options for seniors wanting to move to long-term nursing home care facilities. |
| Handy Helper | (336) 333-6981 | The Handy Helper program assists seniors aged 60 and over with chores and minor home repairs that they are no longer capable of undertaking themselves.
