My dad is currently a resident there since mid February. We have watched him progress a great deal with the help of all the staff members. They are an excellent team and have a lot of joy and love in their hearts towards the residents there. He talks about the staff a lot and appreciates everything he gets help with and he enjoys them all. We as a family thank God for the opportunity that our dad was place at this facility. You all have done a great job during the pandemic and continue to have a positive attitude every day and be so strong. Thank you again, Michael, Cathy and Great Granddaughter Maleigha.

Greenfield Place
We toured this facility a couple years ago looking for a rehab place for my grandfather. It was a rather large place, larger than most we toured. It had well over 100 beds. Lots of nursing assistants on the halls and the patients seemed to be well tended to., however we only saw one actual nurse on the floor and she seemed to be very overwhelmed. The Physical therapy/ rehab department was very different. Lots of staff members including actual physical therapists, therapy aides and speech therapists. The admissions lady was very friendly and knowledgeable, she herself was a nurse and said she sometimes worked on the floor as an RN. We met the administrator who had both of her parents in the facility. She was sitting in the cafeteria with them, feeding them lunch. I was really impressed that she would place her parents in the care of her staff. There were two dining rooms, a rec room, two nice courtyards and the retirement wing had a nice little porch for residents to sit on . All of the regular rooms has double beds so residents didn’t seem to have that much privacy. I think the rehab wing had single rooms. Overall, pretty clean and everyone seemed friendly.

Over all, the rooms are clean and well maintained.
Most of the staff have been quite personable and friendly. All of the staff have been professional and helpful.
My relative was admitted a few weeks ago so I am not totally familiar that all the facility has to offer, but from discussions with staff members there seems to be lots of opportunities inside and outside of the facility.
The facility offers many services in addition to rehabilitation and medical care, including hair care and styling, and even outside (non-medical) excursions, all for a fee of course.
As I said, my relative is new to this facility, but thus far I am pleased and hopeful. I will comment later as my relative and I become more familiar with the facility.

I really appreciate the fact that, though it is a Nursing Home, my Aunt is always telling me how she enjoys the meals they server her. She stated to me one time before that she feels at home with the staff and other residents. They got my vote. Two thumbs up!!!

My brother moved into North Carolina State Veterans Home – Kinston. It’s a wonderful place, very nice, very clean, and doesn’t smell like pee. Everybody welcomes you with a friendly heart. They just were so, so helpful. We’re just so delighted to have him back in there. He was in there for rehab. They sent him home, but he had to go back. This is his second time.
They’re just wonderful. The staff was wonderful. As soon as he pulled up, he had people out there that were so excited to see him. They walked out and just greeted him with open arms, and that staff is amazing. The room has his bed in there (which is a hospital bed), and then also tables and chairs, a desk, and wardrobe closets for him to put his clothes. It’s kind of like a studio apartment, but we got one that had two great big windows. It’s looking right out down the road. He could see people when they’re coming in, and all the trees. It is beautiful. It’s all private rooms. They had a bingo setup. They had church, and then they had game night. They had a lot of activities going on all through the day as well. He just came back today. The food is great.

My experience is new, however, I will be returning to this site to give updates as my contact continues. I am looking forward to excellent care for my loved one. My reasoning for 4 stars is because, there are no private accommodations as mentioned in the description. All rooms are shared. My overall review will be based on quality of care as the stay for my loved one continues. Stay tuned, that fifth star is sure to come.

Upon arriving I noticed that the doors were locked with a security system and you either had to know a code to enter or you had to ring a bell for service. I thought this was great as sometimes seniors can be the victims of predators. I also thought this was good because some patients may have the tendency to wander. Once I entered the building I noticed how clean it was. The staff were all cheerful and seemed happy, polite, and friendly. The residents were lining the hall waiting for lunch. Some residents, my grandmother included were playing a game of Bible Bingo for prizes of candy and lolipops. My grandmother seemed very happy about her winnings. Overall I think my grandmother is happy there. She is able to socialize and live a happy life while still receiving the care and attention she needs.

In short this facility as since seen a much needed face lift in the past year. All and all the cosmetic appearance is much improved but the service that still work there have not seen any additional improvements or higher standards. The time that my grandmother stayed there her bath room was only cleaned once a week ( which was nasty considering it was scared with the other party in the room). The sheets were not washed unless forcefully requested. The halls looked fairly clean and the nurses stations seems to be in a good state but I personally think that is so the up in coming patients would have a nice feel for it. The food would be rated as just plain nasty and only fit for those without any taste buds. The lack of patient care this company provides proves that some place need to be fully investigated before allowing your family to stay with complete strangers.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Greenville, NC
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.
