Carolina Estates

Overall it is a good value for the money. The facility is clean and they provide 3 meals a day for a reasonable rate. The apartment sizes there are a very nice size and have good patio views!

During our visit we noticed right away how friendly many of the residents were and how much they like it there. Many of whom have been there 4+ years. My concern regarding my mother was how she would adjust after living in the same community and home for 55 years. She’s now been there two months and is absolutely loving it. Before, she was sitting at home alone most days except for church twice a week. She also used to stress about what to buy a the grocery. She seemed to never really know what she wanted. Now she’s out of her apartment 3-4 times a day for meals. Often trying and enjoying foods she’s never had before. She loves playing bingo, beach ball volleyball as well as Tai Chi once a week. They have church services a hair salon. She’s also participates in the occupational and physical therapy. She’s eating better, lost weight which has been good for her hip issues. She’s happier than she’s been in years. I’ve said several times we should have made this decision a few years ago.

Very helpful and kind people. The facility is very clean. Mom tends to feel sorry for her cleaning person (because she feels she's overwhelmed) and tells her not to do a thorough cleaning some weeks. Of course this employee follows instructions and does the bare minimum. I wish they would insist on doing their job more completely, but it's mostly my mother's fault. All staff have been extremely friendly! She loves[name removed], the activities director! She hasn't required much assistance, but when we have requested they bring her meals, they have been very accommodating. My wife and I have eaten there many times and have found the food to be very good! My mother claims they serve catfish too often and she refuses to go down for that meal, even though we remind her that there are several other options. She's just difficult. The food and dining service are great! I'm impressed with the number and variety of activities offered. The price seems very fair for what's included, based on my limited research of similar facilities.

Not a great setup for hearing impaired. The food definitely needs to be improved. That's the complaint I hear the most from all the residents. However, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had.

Everybody was friendly and always reachable if we needed to contact something. The environment and surrounding area felt safe. Would love a little easier pathway in and out of first floor rooms with a wheelchair.

As a family member visiting I would say it was great . As for my father he struggled and is no longer at the facility. The 90.00 per night stay in the family suite that included meals was a bonus for me when visiting my father.

I am currently a resident at Carolina Estates. I would recommend this facility to others. I love it here. Is it perfect? No, of course not. But nothing is. I think the value is good.

By all means I recommend Carolina Estates to my family, friends and others. It's my home. I'm happy to say that I'm quite happy and at peace here at Carolina Estates.

So far [name removed] is loving being at Carolina Estates. Based on the experience we have had so far with the Carolina Estates community, we would definitely recommend this community to others. Thanks!

The Carolina Estates facility is comfortable, it is kept clean and the staff members are friendly. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

I’m not trying to be negative but this has been very different than the days I visited here before signing. There are a lot of updates needed and rules that need to be put into place which do not happen. Until improvements are made, my scores will remain low except for staff friendliness and their hard work. From various people, most feel the same way and that is much worse than when they came here.

Don’t waste your time and gas driving all around town. Gas is expensive and time is valuable. Come on out to Carolina Estates where they TRULY CARE about their residents and staff. You and your love one(s) will be very happy you did!??

Overall, he likes the place and people. The place was clean on arrival, but he says house-keeping could be much better. Everyone there are really nice. They are all willing to help my dad with special needs. He likes most meals. He does a lot of activities there. Let's just admit it... all of these places are STUPID expensive, but necessary for those who can't live by themselves anymore.

This is a place I would recommend to others. I would say this one of the best options I found out of 5 homes I toured and was provided. We picked this community because they had a vetran community , reasonable cost and they allowed a German shepherd pet.

I would definitely recommend to others. It's like a family and we have lots of activities. I picked this community, because it was affordable, friendliest, nice ambience, and, closest to family.

Mom is a very picky eater and she reports that the food is delicious and she really likes the chef. The Managers, [name removed] and [name removed], are very hands-on. They serve coffee at the noon meal and take time to check-in with residents. The staff is very caring and appears to genuinely care about the residents. Mom fell while doing laundry and they responded immediately to help her up and then checked-in on her. I would not hesitate to place someone into their care.

We picked this community, because of the location, cost and it's in a very nice area. The Managers [name removed] and [name removed] were very kind and understanding as well.This is a very nice community in an amazing location at a reasonable price. I would recommend to others, if they have the budget to do so.

This facility is a wonderful place for Independent Living! The staff is amazing here. They're so friendly and helpful. You just don't find that everywhere. Everything we've asked for, we've gotten here. The beauty of this place is that the managers live on site, so someone is available 24 hours a day if needed. My loved one had a semi emergency in the middle of the night and had to call EMS. One of the managers came to his apartment and the whole thing was seamless. They handled it perfectly. I like that it's all inclusive, no extra or additional fees for things. They have PT and OT on site. They allow pets (cats/dogs). The dining room and staff are very nice, the food is pretty good. I don't know that we could have found a better place in our area! I have and will continue to highly recommend them to family and friends. It's just a really friendly and kind place.

They made us feel like, we were bothering them but they got friendly later on. [name removed] was the best staff member there. They were friendly and made us feel welcomed, and helped my loved one , and never made us feel like we were bothering him. Other staff members at times made us feel that way. We picked this community because of the convenience, it was close to other family members, and affordable. Some of your residents were not very nice so my loved one was reluctant about going to the dinning room but overall it was a nice place, and my loved one wanted to go back.
