Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Polk County, NC
Wesley Court in Boiling Springs, SC
4.8

Heather is the administrator and has been here for 18 years. She is compassionate, a good leader and loves all the residents. Many of the CNA's, med techs and other staff have been here for many years. They get to know every residents needs, likes and dislikes. It has been a great fit for my 92-yr old dad. Highly recommend!

Carolina Reserve of Laurel Park in Hendersonville, NC
4.8

I would highly recommend this community. For the money and cost they are the best community around this area for your loved ones. They have activities like games, movie night, church services and more for the residents.

Carolina Care Retirement Community in Cherryville, NC
5.0

Carolina Care Retirement Community is very clean and maintained. A great value for the price. The other nearby residents are friendly and quiet. The staff has been very helpful from the time we requested information through now. The housekeeping staff is efficient, dependable and trustworthy. The move-in was well planned, with keys being provided upfront and follow up over the next few days to ensure a good adjustment. The two meals per day is plenty with many options. Having it delivered to the door is a great option also. I would highly recommend this place for someone downsizing or needing Independent Living, but with meals and care being provided as needed.
