Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Apex, NC
The Reserve at Mills Farm in Apex, NC
3.9

We picked this community, because we knew some people there. Also the size was good - things were very accessible. Dining and amenities all in the building. We would recommend to other families. Initial issues with staffing and dining are being addressed but not up to par. Lots of staff and management turnover.

Brighton Gardens of Raleigh
3.8

Staff is great except for the accounting office. You have to repeatedly email or call to get an answer from them. We picked this community because of the price, location, and size of the rooms.

Sunrise of Raleigh

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. ALWAYS visible doing their jobs. I've had the food on two occasions and I recognize that it is prepared for the residents and not the outsiders. I'm sure it's more favorable to them. I would recommend this facility to others.

  • Laundry
  • Social activities and outings
  • 24-hour emergency response
