The Best Nursing Home Communities in Lee County, NC

"The direct care staff were all courteous, compassionate and professional in caring for my wife. I highly recommend Emerald Health & Rehabilitation."

"I went to Windsor Point. They seemed very organized. They had a lot of activities. It was very clean. The room was typical. We looked at a two-bedroom with two bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. They had a stove in each one of them. A lot of the apartments don't have stoves, but they do. The staff who toured us was very outgoing. I think she related very well to my mother-in-law, who was very difficult, so she did a good job of that. They had outdoor space, and they had an indoor pool, which was nice. Even with the buy-in there, the rent there is cheaper than most others."

"This place has been great for my Mom. After Mom got settled in her very nice and immaculately clean room she started rehab I fell in love with the staff. The staff was very nice and was able to work with my Mom to get her up to walk a few steps and to be able to sit in a wheel chair. For some this may not seem like much but for my Mom this was a dream come true because she had been bed bound, not able to even sit up in bed for over 5 months before coming here. She now has been transitioned into the long term care section and is happy. I am very blessed to have everyone at Universal of Lillington they have keep me informed the whole way and when I needed emotional support they were there for me too. Today my Mom is happy, well taken care of, social, she has stopped losing weight, she has color to her skin again, she has commutation and a social environment as well as the 24 hour nursing care that she needed. This has taken so much stress off of me to know that all the amazing people at Universal of Lillington are take care of my Mom. It brings me joy every visit to see her thriving in her new place. My Mom is terminal so I know nobody can fix her but Universal of Lillington's staff has made her life happy and I can't thank everyone enough, I will forever be grateful. "

"My grandpa was here for nearly three years and while he did not like being alone during Corona, he loved riding the halls in his wheelchair and visiting with friends in this facility. My grandma and grandpa celebrated their 57 anniversary within a week of his passing and they were able to celebrate their love at a prom night where they were crowned king and queen while he was there. Our family felt a lot of love from the staff and we are so grateful to you for taking care of our grandpa! He was able to have his own room for most of his stay and I was always impressed when visiting with the cleanliness. There are no complaints from our family, we will forever be thankful. "

"Penick Village offered everything we needed. The staff was very complete and knowledgeable. It's a high-quality place."

"My sister moved into the Genesis Siler City facility (Siler City Care and Rehabilitation Center). So far it's very expensive, but good. The staff is good, very helpful, and accommodating. The food is very good. The dining area is good and accommodates about 50 people. They have very good amenities. They have a garden area. They take people to the doctors and the rehabilitation is good."

"I never saw anything inappropriate here. My mom and a friend were there for 30 days. Both of them were well taken care of. The service of the staff was good. The size of the room was nice, and there were two people in it. I wasn’t there long enough, but from the short visits I was there, I think its fine. "

"My mother was at Rex Rehab for three weeks. They're very impressive. Personnel there was great with my mother. My mother speaks Spanish and she was happy that there were a few people there who spoke Spanish, so that made her feel more comfortable. Physical therapy worked with her and everything was great. The location was really nice, too. The staff were very helpful and attentive and communicated well. The facility was spacious, clean, well maintained, looked very new, and all the nurses and everyone who treated my mother seemed to be very genuine, understanding, and very friendly. "

"When I had surgery, I was in Pinehurst Healthcare & Rehab for a couple of weeks. The facilities were kind of bare and barren, but the people are excellent. It's much smaller. It wasn't decorated at all, but the service is good. The rooms are kind of barren and not homey-looking at all. The bed is comfortable, and the people are very warm and welcoming, and that to me is more important than what the place looks like. If I need to go someplace, they took me in a wheelchair. I could go out in the garden in the wheelchair and do what I wanted. It's not a cozy place, and older people like cozy. They have a very good physical therapist. The rooms were not nearly as nice or as big as others. It depends on your outlook, but it's a whole lot cheaper than other places. One thing I would complain about there is the food. I used to kid to the chef because I asked him if he knew what S-A-L-A-D spelled. I don't think he ever gave us a salad but he finally did after I kidded him enough about it. When you're not moving around too well there, you need something that could go down easy, and the salad will do that. "

"Mom was a feisty difficult elderly person with failing health unable to walk or care for herself. I did not expect miracles in a nursing home but felt she got them at Quale Haven. I slept good at night knowing they are highly selected professionals in their field that excel at what they do. I appearance, it may not seem world class at first glance but when I examined the care provided, it just might be. Doctor and nursing care is very responsive and knowledgeable. Building care and maintenance is clean and fresh smelling. Administrative staff is up to date on the ocean of legal changes and care billing guidelines. Staff all interact and communicate well. I felt mom received the best of care. If you want swanky, keep looking. If you want great care you can trust, look no further. I feel blessed. "

"My mom is at Kingswood Nursing Center. It is an all-inclusive facility. It has assisted living, skilled nursing, and hospice all in one as well as physical therapy. It seems to be the perfect fit for my mom. They have a secure Alzheimer’s unit, which she needs, so it is exactly what she was looking for. The room is adequate. It is not luxurious. They do have mostly shared rooms. My mom is in a shared room, and it is good enough for what she does. She just goes to sleep in the room, and she spends most of her time in the common areas. They have worship services, word play, and a chair-type play that they do. They try to keep the residents active, and they try to keep their minds alert. We’ve checked out other places, but when we got to this place, my mom acted as if she were at home. "

"We chose The Templeton of Cary. It was a rental place with numbers we could afford, and didn't require any big upfront investment. It's a fully furnished apartment, not with furniture, but with appliances. We had a very good experience, and the person who did the tour was very good. They include two meals a day. There's like a courtyard and a walking trail. It's not out in the country, and not in the middle of the city either."

"My husband is now at Highland House. I highly recommend them. They do a good job. The rooms are very nice. The dining area is adequate. They serve good meals too. If you can't go to the dining room, then they bring it to your room for you. The staff members are very good. When they come into your room, they're cheerful. They treat the patients like they care about them. They also show them respect. My husband was a chaplain, and the staff will call him, "Chaplain," whereas at the other places, they don't. They're really respectful. Also the place is very neat and clean."
