Recent reviews of Memory Care in Starlight, NC
The Reserve at Mills Farm in Apex, NC
4.0 / 5.0

It's quite expensive, especially for memory care. (One parent in independent living and one in memory care). Quality of care in memory care is hit or miss as well - some great staff and some not very good. I think the independent living is really good - great food - the dining room is like a restaurant with lots of variety and good quality. The apartments are well set up. The staff in independent living are all very friendly and seem to know everyone. It's very welcoming. We really like that my mother can walk over to memory care almost any time to visit him.

Phoenix Assisted Care in Cary, NC
4.0 / 5.0

My mother is doing very well at the Phoenix Assisted Care. The place is clean and well maintained. When we first moved in, she was in a shared room but has now moved into a private room. The meals they provide are very good.

Harmony at Hope Mills in Fayetteville, NC
4.9 / 5.0

From the moment we walked in to tour, I was certain we had found a new home for Mom. The facility is up to date, well maintained and inviting. During our tour, I realized that even the sales manager knew all of the residents by name. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They took the time to listen to our concerns and fears. The memory care staff are all specifically trained to work with residents like Mom. It is evident in the way they interact with the residents in their care. There is always something for the residents to do whether in assisted living or memory care. The memory care unit provided the security Mom required and the social engagement she thrives on. All her visitors have commented on how happy she is at Harmony Square. I can and have highly recommend Hamony at Hope Mills to anyone looking long term care for their loved ones, especially the memory care unit, Harmony Square.
