Grace Village Assisted Living and Memory Care in Granite Falls, NC
3.6

The first impression was excellent. Everyone smiled and was very pleasant. We were given the tour and loved the place which made us bring my mom up to see it. She fell in love with the place and the room in which she was going to stay in. She has been there since December. We have discovered that the communication between the staff and administration was not good. We also discovered that the food was not good and limited choices regarding menu. It is clean and doesn’t smelled. Lots of light and had a few very nice sitting areas. The activity manager is fantastic. Has a lot of activities for the residence who want to participate. I did visited a couple of other facilities and did some comparisons. It was the best facility for my mom who has dementia. It does have a memory care attached which will be available when the need comes.

Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living in Boone, NC
5.0

I will start by saying there were only 2 negatives. However, the positive experience did outweigh the negative, so in the last survey question I gave a rating of 5 (being best) still would hold true. My negatives were the deposit, which was a whole months rent along with processing fee up front, on top of the partial month's rent. That was almost a $14k deal breaker. I felt this was extremely excessive to walk him in the door, in my opinion. Overall, the individuals working at Deerfield Ridge were compassionate and caring. The accommodations were clean and well kept. The linens were washed daily. Along with Hospice Care checking in frequently and my daily visits, the experience was the best I could have possibly hoped for.
