28 Assisted Living Communities in Greensboro, North Carolina

Spring Arbor of Greensboro is an excellent place. My mom is a resident of that place for three months now. It is a beautiful place. Everything about it is fine. The food is wonderful. The people are wonderful, and the care is wonderful. I cannot say enough. It is an excellent place, and I want my mother to stay there. It is an apartment type with one bedroom, a kitchenette, and a living room. They have all kinds of activities, but she is limited in what she can participate in because of her needs. They have an activities director. They just recently opened visitations up if you had your covid shots. You have to sign in and you have to answer questions to get in. They were taking temperatures and only one person at a time could come in and visit. My mother says the food is good. It is easy to get around. It is laid out and nicely planned. It is all in one level and easy to get from front to the back. The place is a little pricey.

My father is in Brighton Gardens of Greensboro. It's a clean and modern place. I am not there all the time. I live in New Jersey, and my father is down there, so we haven't had a whole lot of comments about the staff. If there are issues that are statewide about COVID, they will send notifications of their changes and their policies, but as far as my father's personal care, there are no interviews. It's probably not fair right now because everything is in lockdown -- well, in these nursing homes in North Carolina anyway. There had been quite a bit of activities beforehand, but during COVID, they have limited everything, and there are no group gatherings. They are doing everything they can to keep it from spreading and to keep any cases of COVID out of there, so there are very few social activities going on -- but that is because of COVID. It was good when they gathered in the dining hall, but now they have to deliver the meals to their rooms. Also, the food is not as fresh or of the quality it was when it was delivered straight from the kitchen. My father's studio room is nice. It's got a bathroom and a little kitchenette, and it seems to be perfectly adequate for him. There seem to be so many restrictions with what they can do, and it is not good for the residents because they can't go around and meet with everybody else. However, from that aspect, it's great that they are in a place where it is safe, and there are nurses around if there is a problem.

Carolina Estates was very nice, but they didn't have any full kitchen facilities. The staff during the tour was very friendly, offered a lot of information, and followed up with me. The food was okay. The dining area was open and restaurant style. They were making gingerbread houses in one little room when I was there. They had a piano setup, a library, and a craft area. The apartment was on the smaller side.

Morningview at Irving Park is a great place. My father-in-law's room is fine and he enjoys it. The food is excellent and they have great people working in the kitchen. They have all kinds of things for my 90-year old father-in-law to do, and he can go out to get a beer if he wants to. They also have a men's club. It's a great place. The staff is really dedicated to taking care of the people there and they don't run around with cellphones tied to their faces.

Carriage House is excellent, but they went up in price to a point where my parents couldn't afford it. I would rate them a five in appearance. They have activities daily for the residents, but it's not pushy. For example, no one comes to your room to remind you that there's bingo at 4:00. So if you don't read the calendar or you don't read the bulletin board in the dining room, you don't know what's going on. I thought that was weird. They could just print out flyers and give them to the residents or leave them on their doors. The food was not great at all, and I was surprised by that. They have a big room where they do activities and my mother likes getting her nails done there. It's a beautiful building, and my parents have a nice apartment there. It's a double room. Overall, the value for the money is not good.

Two Feathers

Holden Heights Assistant living needs help, the staff needs to either be retrained or hire people who have a heart to serve and an ability to follow State, Federal and local guidelines. When you visit the facility it appears to be on the Square (adhears) with rules and care of the residents, but underneath they need more dedicated help, not persons who just want a job and a pay check. The site staff-especially front office could use phone etiquette as well as person to person etiquette when you want to speak with someone. They need a patient advocate who will listen to them and see to it that their concerns are met with positive feedback. Residents should not feel afraid or ashamed if they have a complaint about anything.

Holden Heights is a converted hotel, so everybody has their own room. They have common hallways and dining hall at the bottom. It's decent and takes care of our needs. My brother likes it there. The staff keeps changing, which is a problem. At one point, they were pretty active and had a bus to go places, but the woman who did the rides retired and they stopped the trips. It's a pretty clean facility.

My tour at Carolina Estates was very nice. The people were very friendly, the apartments were small, but they were nice. I had lunch there and the food was good. They have a library, meeting rooms, there's a place to watch movies, and a nice dining room. The usual people who showed me around were really nice too.

I would not recommend Holden Heights. Be aware this facility has major problems. ADA not accessible for entry/exit doors. Has 2 elevators, but usually only 1 working-try to evacuate in an emergency 4 floors 100 patients! Electrical issues aka smoldering electrical outlet-after 1 week said it had been fixed, but plate screws had never been removed, only plate cleaned off! Staff is practically nonexistent on weekends. If present they are hanging with friends and family and children too behind nurse's desk. Too busy to answer call bells! Communication lacking between Executive Director and staff and family-do not return emails or phone calls! Sanitation issues aka like fruit punch left in patient room until it starts to grow mold on the top! Floors in rooms poorly maintained-usually swept under closet door out of sight! Laundry and business office also has issues. Everytime I thought as caregiver it could not get worse it did! You will regret moving your loved one to this facility.
