We are relatively happy with them. It's still kind of confusing getting acclimated to the workings of the place, learning when meals are and things, there was no real orientation. I haven't had any complaints about food or staff, or cleanliness, nothing like that.

The community is clean and the staff is friendly, however my concern is staffing level and turnover especially for CNAs. Although the community says they meet NC State requirements, the ratio of CNAs to residents needs to be more to reduce how long some residents have to wait for assistance.

Not happy

I've only been in assisted living here for only 5 months. It has gone downhill very quickly. Finally yesterday and part of today so far they haven't been able to feed us properly. Yesterday breakfast was terrible. I literally had a tablespoon of scrambled eggs, and maybe two tablespoons of oatmeal. Lunch was cold pizza , two pieces and a small side salad. Dinner was a McDonald's cheeseburger and chips. We pay for 3 meals a day in dining room. They want us to eat in our rooms like prisoners. If you care about anyone DONT PUT THEM HERE !! I called for a nurse No one every came.

Adequate care. My husband fell several times in the week of his stay, but he didn’t ask for assistance. He was not injured and I was notified. No one checked in, or invited him to activities or meals. He was comfortable enough in his room and able to use WiFi and tv. He said his stay was “okay”.

keep up the good work at improving this facility

Administrators and supervisors were great. Staff could have been more attentive. They were doing some great improvements with new furniture etc. but weren't the best at cleaning the residence rooms. My mom is not there anymore. There was little staff at night especially. My mom fell and ended up in hospital and now in another facility.
