"We like Salemtowne. It's very pretty, has a very nice apartment, and has very nice people. Everything is great about it, the location, the food, the people, and the support you get. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. We have a kitchen, but there's a dining room, and we can go there. There are many activities, although we haven't done any of them yet. The place is very clean and kept up maintenance-wise."

"Mature, experienced, competent staff, caring managers, with many years experience with this facility. Excellent care and beautiful grounds, gym for physical therapy, portable x-ray, outstanding care. One of the best I've seen, highly recommend. "

"My father-in-law was there for short term therapy. He loved the food and put on 5 pounds. He was able to return home within 3 weeks, and is doing well. He loved the staff. If he needs rehab in the future, he wants to go back there."

"My brother is at Brookridge Retirement Community. It is fabulous. It is the most wonderful place. It is clean and lovely. Everybody has been kind, cooperative, and as helpful as anybody could ever have been. I'm blown away by how wonderful it is. My brother has a private room and the room is great. Views are all over the windows. You look out over a forest. Driving into this place is like driving into an estate somewhere. It is wooded. It's just ideal. He's not completely cured yet, but he tells me that they've done exercises almost every day. He says he is doing better. The people are helpful and unbelievably kind and supportive, even the man who answers the phone. When you call, you're immediately hooked into somebody. You get beautiful Beethoven music while waiting and somebody answers the phone right away and they tell you where you are in line (I've never been higher than two in line). The place is lovely. Just perfect. It is great with nice-sized rooms. It's always clean, neat, and well-lighted, but cozy. For my brother's money, it's just been a great spot."

"Jacobs Creek is top notch. They love their patients. I have a family member there. They go above and beyond. They treat residents like family. I’ve recently seen, firsthand how another Nursing Home in the area treated their residents. I would not put my family member anywhere else."

"What I like about Trinity Glen is that they keep in contact with the family members when they find something out about the patient or whatever. They communicate well with the patient's family, whether it's their guardian or a power of attorney person. It's a very clean facility. The food is good. Mom has been there a short time, but the staff is friendly through my experience. It's not a locked-down facility. You can just go in and sign in. There's always someone there at the desk greeting you. I know there are a lot of patients out there who are self-pay, but for those who aren't self-pay, I would recommend that. Mom is on Medicaid and Medicare. Even with some of the places that are just for self-pay, I would have her at Trinity Glen from what I've seen. They're pretty good when patients need changing or something. They don't leave stuff sitting in the rooms. They take it out immediately. They have an activity board. They have bingo, church, and crafts. They also took two people from skilled nursing to the fair and I was impressed with that."

"My mom is a resident of Arbor Acres. Her experience overall appears to be pretty positive. Her room is clean, and the staff is personable and helpful."

"My mom came out of a rehab center -- the Winston Salem Nursing and Rehab. She was there for about a month. They could have been a little better. Some staff that was very nice, but a lot of them was not that good. They were kind of lazy. When you walk in, you don’t feel everything was clean. My mom didn’t particularly like the food. She hardly ate up there. I did notice that some of the stuff that she wasn’t supposed to eat, she was eating up there, so that wasn’t good. "

"The Oaks is a Great place, I have had family and friends to stay at that facility and they all had wonderful experiences. Left there with great rehab and nursing care services. They would highly recommend The Oaks anytime. Rooms are big and private. Housekeeping is wonderful. The staff is very kind, caring and compassionate to the residents and famalies. Activities are great. Favorite activities are Bingo of course. "

"My uncle is at Silas Creek Rehab. The grounds are very neat. No problems there. The room is nice, and the staff seems to take care of the patients. They have activities. My uncle has to do exercise three times a week. They have an exercise room. a dining room, and a conference room. It's very, very well organized. Food seems to be good. He has no complaints. The only thing he complained of is that it's not enough."

"River Landing at Sandy Ridge is very expensive. It's not a new place. It has been around forever. What I like best about them is the location and the facilities, and they go on trips, but you have to have a lot of money to live there. However, you can be there until the Good Lord comes to get you because they have all of those facilities. If you get to where you need someone to come and wash your face, you don't have to pack up and move somewhere to get that service. They have everything. They have swimming pools, tennis courts, and walking trails. It's beautiful. From the way it looks, it's well-kept. You can live in an apartment or a cottage. They have cottages and apartment-style units. You have a choice, and it depends on where you want to put your money. The food was good at the time that I had eaten there. My friend invites me over to have lunch with her often, usually for our birthday, Mother's Day, or something, and I have not had a bad meal with her. The staff is very nice and very polite. Some people have traditions like happy people produce happy service."

"I went and looked at Homestead Hills, and all the employees were extremely nice and very supportive. They were very caring, attentive, and answered all questions. The facility was very clean. They were extremely helpful, and they even followed up."

"I toured Well-Spring Retirement Community. It has everything you could want for all levels, and it is a large facility that would allow me to walk get my steps and get in shape. It has a gym. It has a swimming pool. It's hard to beat that. It was very clean. The cafeteria was very nice. It was very pleasant. Everybody there was pleasant and was very willing to talk and give me all the information I wanted."
