Recent reviews of Independent Living in Clay, NC
Abbotswood at Stonehenge in Raleigh, NC
4.8

We visited 11 places in the Raleigh area before deciding on Abbotswood for our Mom. The staff made all the difference and our Mom felt like it was "home". The love and compassion and care from the staff helped us walk through years of Mom's health problems and Covid anxiety. The size of the community was just right - not too large like some of the other places that felt like an impersonal hotel. The opportunities to have doctor's care, nurse on call, and Physical Therapy in Mom's room was so helpful. There were always plenty of fun activities to enjoy fellowship with other residents.

The Lodge at Wake Forest
4.5

This is the place my loved one, liked when he looked at it. We did have other places we wanted him to look at, but this place had immediate availability and he seemed very happy with this choice. For the minor issues, he's not concerned. As for the cost, he is able to afford it. I personally just think they are all over priced, some way more so than others. We would recommend this place. As I stated my loved one, has told us that he is very happy here. He enjoys talking with the other residents. From our visits it is a very well run establishment, clean, and maintained. We have not seen anything that we would complain about up to this point.

Holiday Gardens at Wakefield in Raleigh, NC
5.0

Choosing a retirement community for a loved one is a difficult prospect. With many options available, finding the right fit was harder than we expected. After visiting a number of the well-known facilities in the area, Holiday Gardens at Wakefield stood out among the rest. We were welcomed by [name removed], who was readily available for our questions, tours and more questions. The transition was smooth, communication clear and follow up has been diligent. The community feels more like home than others we toured. The grounds are beautiful. Staff has been accommodating and warm. There have been many opportunities for my dad to become involved and residents seem very happy when I visit. I highly recommend Holiday Gardens.

Have use of a 2 bedroom apartment front floor. Find that in my own personal opinion this faculty is more like a nursing place not independent living.
