From the moment my mother moved in, the staff has gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and ease her anxiety from moving from her home after my father died. I am so grateful. Thank you so much!

I would suggest you check other places out. The nursing care isn't the best. The community is on the expensive side. There are activities going on at different times for the residents. There are physical activates such as exercises and we have an activities director on site.

Rose Glen Manor in North Wilkesboro, NC
5.0

As the family member of the patient attacked, referencing the December 2016 review after an assault. ... My father was knocked out, sent via ambulance to the ER. He was hit so hard you could seen the imprint of his glasses on his face for weeks, along with the knot on his forehead...then she took his glasses. I think Rose Glen Manor did the correct thing, as my father, i.e. no patient could be kept safe with such an unprovoked attack.
