Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Dexter, 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.

Carolina Reserve of Durham

I recently visited a family member that resides here and all I can say is WOW! From the upper management down to housekeeping, you can see they all truly care! I cannot be more pleased to know my family lives here! If I could give higher than 5 stars I would.

The Addison in Durham, NC

I would recommend to others. Overall, we are happy with the experience our mother is having, given her condition. The work of managing the memory care facility has got to be difficult and I appreciate them keeping her safe. Can't expect much more.
