Response from Navion of New Bern
July 29, 2024Thank you so much for your kind words and glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our community. Our team is dedicated to providing loving, attentive, and respectful care to all our residents and their families, and your feedback is a wonderful affirmation of our efforts. Thank you for recommending us, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions or need further assistance.
The place has been recently painted, the people are very nice, it feels personal because everyone knows your name, but the meals are lacking. Food is my mother’s main complaint. Most things are prepackaged, canned, processed, sugary or unappetizing. The facility is not to capacity, and so they reduced the hours of some workers. My mother has had to wait quite awhile for someone to come help her. No place is perfect for everyone, but my mom seems to like it there.

June 24, 2024Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest review of our community. We're happy to hear your mother enjoys the recent renovations, friendly atmosphere, and feels comfortable enough for everyone to know her name. We understand your concern about the meal options and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Providing healthy and enjoyable meals is a priority at our community. We will share your feedback with our dining service team and explore ways to add additional fresh, appealing options while accommodating dietary restrictions. We apologize for any delays your mother may have experienced, and we're actively working on solutions to address these situations and improve response times. We value your input and strive to continuously improve our services. We'd welcome the opportunity to discuss your mother's specific needs and preferences regarding meals and assistance in more detail. We ask you to please reach out to our Regional Director of Operations, Andrew Dellinger, at andrew.dellinger@navionsl.com to discuss these matters further.
What we really like about Brookdale New Bern were the staff, they were very friendly and helpful. The room my dad had was setup like an apartment. They didn't charge a lot of administering medication like some of the other places did. They didn't charge for every little thing, it was one set price. Based on the experience we had we would recommend the Brookdale New Bern community to other families.

We were looking for a community for my wife, and she needed to move in quickly. Brookdale was a very nice community; however, they did not suit our particular needs. We would have had to furnish her room ourselves, as they had no furnished rooms available. Also, they did not have any single rooms available at the time, and we really wanted privacy for her. In order to get that, we would have had to pay for both beds in the room. Ultimately, we chose another community for our needs.

The folks at Brookdale have been terrific, as far as how mom is adjusting and getting along she is having a harder time though. When mom first arrived there, she did not want to come out of the room much and so one of the associates at Brookdale made the point to visit with her and make friends with her to help get her out of the room. It worked out very well and got i=her interacting more. They have activities available but for us personally, the activities are not as important as the socialization. I see mom once a week for lunch and the meals are always good, they have very good food there and all of the folks there are nice. I watch the interaction between the staff and the residents and it is very good. The people there are definitely in the right place.

So far everything seems to be fine. We have only been there a few days. Do not know why they are requesting this review so soon. Staff very nice and courteous. The home very updated and clean. The food seems to be pretty good as well.

Mom was at Sterling House of New Bern which is now Brookdale of New Bern for respite care. The people were nice but I had to give them our original DNR order and I have not gotten it back from them. They took good care of her. She did come home with a cut on her leg so I am not sure what that is about. The experience was fine but I am not sure she will come back because of the location.

They do a fantastic job at Sterling House of New Bern, my husband loves it! He says it is like being on a cruise every day! They get 3 cooked meals a day, have all sorts of activities, and they're just a clean well run place! I would recommend them highly, it has worked out very well for us so far!

It was a great! They always had a really understanding and caring staff. They had a lot of bingo! They didn't really have a choice for meals, but they would take her to all of her appointments.

I stopped by without an appointment. People were very nice. The place is beautiful and well kept. More expensive but it seems to be geared more towards assisted living than independent living. Everything is in one building. Very nice place if we needed more services. Rooms were small but nice.
