The Lodge at Wake Forest
4.5 / 5.0

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 / 5.0

In our search for a forever home for my client, [name removed], she was very specific at what she was looking for. She wanted to be able to have access to everything she needed, to facilitate her medical care, and home living. We went to tour Holiday Gardens at Wakefield, the staff, and residents were very welcoming. They even had a welcome sign with our names on it waiting, and a bag of goodies. [name removed] showed us some of the amenities like the gym, hair salon, and the awesome dining area. The application process was painless, and once we viewed the very spacious, and accommodating apartment, my client knew this was the one, out of all of the others she has looked at. [name removed] and her cat [name removed], enjoyed sitting on her balcony, and taking in the fresh air, and the quietness of the community as a whole. She loved the convenience of her meals being brought to her, so she could stay on schedule w/ her meds. She told me time and time again," I love it here, i have finally found my peace."

From what I do know, he is very happy there. They did want to raise their fees this year, but they worked with him to keep it as minimal of an increase as he could handle based on his Pension and SS income....
