The Best Nursing Home Communities in Mecklenburg County, NC

"It is the only place that would take my husband in. He suffers from depression and all kinds of physical problems. But he seems to be happy now. The staff is very helpful. They have very good meals. It's like a restaurant. They fix whatever he wants and he picks it out. "

"They were OK at Wilora Lake Healthcare Center. I think my mother-in-law got pretty good care. They just had rooms that were pretty tight and were all semi-private. The location was fine; it was just right down the hill from where my father-in-law was, so that made it convenient. It needed a lot of upgrading. "

"My mom is in Hunter Woods Nursing and Rehab. It's a really nice place. Even though COVID cut down some of the workers, she's well taken care of. The staff is really nice and courteous. Her room is like a regular hospital room with two residents in there, but I like the fact that she has someone to talk to. They keep the room clean every day. They go in there every day, give her a bath, and they make sure she gets her medicine. The only thing is they have weak WiFi, but it's good that they have it. Even though they're short of workers, they still do an outstanding job."

"Saturn Skilled Nursing Facility proved to be a great place for my Mom. One thing I struggled with was placing my Mom in 24 hour skilled care. However, the reality was I could not tend to her needs the way she needed. My search was long, but I settled with two facilities that scored high in their ratings. When I visited Saturn the first thing I noticed was the smiles on not only the patients but more importantly the staff. They seemed to love their job. That was a winner for me. It proved to be a good choice for my Mom. Mom told me consistently how she was being well taken care of and more importantly respected. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. They took good care of Mom and provided not only the care she needed, but was loved by the staff. Keep up the good work Saturn Staff, your kindness and attention to detail to your patients is greatly appreciated."

"I was referred to Sardis Oaks by the hospital and by other people that had patients there. The facility was adequate, fine as a nursing home, and the ratio of nurses to patient was much higher. The staff was fine, and the food was OK. "

"I explored Sharon Towers and was interested in them, but since they’re building right now, it is about a year to a year and a half before they will have anything ready. The facilities are very, very nice. Everything is good there, but they did not take note of my long-term care policy, which will roughly pay for everything I need if I need long-term care. The atmosphere was very pleasant, though. I did not see any of the rooms because they did not have everything available. I have seen the floor plans, so I have an idea of what they have. The staff and everybody that I met were very professional and very pleasant. It would be a good place to go, but it was a bit more expensive by comparison to other facilities. The facility itself would be a good 4 or 5 stars. They have some older buildings and some newer buildings. I think some of the newer buildings would be much more pleasant. Everything is very easily managed. The hallways were all large, and there were plenty of rooms for several people to move through easily, especially if they have walkers. "

"I visited this facility with a friend whose Grandmother was a resident. It's set in a gorgeous location, right in the heart of Southpark. The grounds are amazing, with plenty of open space, ponds, walking trails, and greenery everywhere. The building is also very new, modern, and completely updated. My friend's Grandmother was staying in a semi-private room at Stewart. Though it was not private, the room was spacious and she felt that she was well matched with her roommate. The staff were very attentive in helping with housekeeping and personal care. Her room was very neat and clean at each visit and I never noticed any odors. The staff in general were very friendly and helpful. In particular, the activities coordinator seemed to really enjoy working with the residents. The calendar offered arts and crafts, exercise classes, and other such activities giving plenty of opportunities for socialization and sensory stimulation. The only downside I could see to this facility is they do not accept Medicaid patients. That might prevent it from being an option for some, but for those who can afford it (or can use Medicare dollars for short term stays) it remains a good option. I would recommend this facility. My friend's Grandmother seemed very happy there and I always felt as if her care was excellent. "

"We really liked Charlotte Healthcare Center. It was very clean, updated, nice, and newer-looking facility. The staff is really friendly. The only issue I had with them was communication. It was difficult to get through to speak to someone when you had a question or concern. Even though my father-in-law had a bracelet on his legs because he has slight dementia, he would go out the door. And even with the door alarm, the staff just couldn't get out quick enough to catch him, and he'd be out on the parking lot. He would want to just leave and go out the door. But the staff is really nice and friendly. He was always very clean and well-kept there. It would be nice if the residents would have an opportunity to be taken outside. He really just wanted to be able to go outside when the weather is nice. He actually thought he was in jail. But I understand there's not enough staff to do that. Also, one of the things that we're not happy about and trying to get change is a lot of his stuff have gotten missing. So we actually had to purchase a lock ourselves for his own cabinet so he won't lose things. "

"The staff was very friendly and appeared to genuinely care about the residents. They are very patient people and are prompt at meeting residents' needs. The facility is kept clean. I feel I can trust Britthaven of Charlotte with the care of my relative. The residents seem very happy and are not left alone. They have access to a social life and appear to be very comfortable at Britthaven. The quality of food is generally good and I have never heard my aunt complain about it. Overall Britthaven of Charlotte is a good nursing home and I would recommend it to anyone in the area. "

"The best part about this place is the people that work there and the personal touch they provide to your loved ones care. My mother was there for rehab this year. I live out of town and when the facility brought her home, they arranged for groceries to be delivered to her the next day. My mom was in the hospital for almost 15 days and was at Carrrington Place Rehabilitation and Living Center for nearly 20 more days. She lived by herself at the time. The fact that this facility actually thought about my mom having fresh food to eat when she got home...is outstanding. I am still shocked at the generosity and thoughtfulness of this gesture. If you are looking for rehab and you haven't been to Carrington Place in Matthews...You truly do not need to even consider anything else. They are consummate professionals and caring about the people, is more than a cliche...They knock it out the park. "

"My friend is in rehab at Mecklenburg Rehab (Mecklenburg Health Care Center). The place is very clean and the people and staff are very friendly and accommodating, not only to visitors but also to residents. The food is pleasing to the eye, well thought out, have a nice variety and is based on what the individual's dietary needs are. My friend is basically working on his mobility, balance and his right hand. They have really worked with him and he has come a long way. They keep the place nice and no odd smells."

"My brother is at Clear Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The staff seems nice, friendly, and helpful. They have a pretty good rapport with the people there. You don't have that typical overpowering nursing home smell when you walk in. They keep it clean. They had a Halloween party and early Thanksgiving supper a couple of weeks ago. They play bingo every week and there are other activities as well."

"Change was good and needed can't believe it took so long. Now that mark is gone the staff have such great personality. Howard and Maddie are building a solid team and have given back autonomy to the old time managers. Keep going forward. Keep listening the change is great! The patients look happy. "

"The staff I very caring, the facility smells good and is very clean. Nerlande, Ms. Frances, Carlos, Peggy, and Rontelia did a great job taking care of my dad."
