5 Best Independent Living Communities in Midway, NC

The staff at Holiday Stratford are extremely personable and friendly. Housekeeping runs a bit behind sometimes. Communication with our family is on point! The move in was a breeze. The meals are good quality and perfect portions. I have, and will continue to, recommend this facility. I know they've been purchased by another investor, so we're all praying that the staff remains employed! I promise they will not find another manager like [name removed]!

I would give heritage a 5 on all counts. Lots of activities and mom said the food was delicious. One especially nice feature was the small cafe in the lower level that is open for alternative meal choices if you don't care for the dining hall choices or want to eat at a different time of day when the dining room is closed. Also for those who want an independent living lifestyle but need some assistance there is a third party group that can be hired on an a la carte basis, depending on the needs.

Great to have washers and dryers in each apartment. Don't expect anything great from the dining room. Activities that include bus outings for craft activities. Maybe an opportunity for painting a picture? My parent doesn't drink alcohol, and her impression is that a lot of events include alcohol, and she is helping to pay for that in her rent. All of the general social events are not her thing, but she enjoys substantial craft ideas . Food-a variety of fresh vegetables, less rice, potatoes and pasta. When she moved in, we were told that all vegetables are fresh, not canned. I've heard others complain about the food, and not because she/we were complaining. They just offered their opinion. Housekeeping services aren't consistently provided, even with agreed upon date/time. If they aren't going to show up for some reason, my parent is usually not notified. Even with all the negatives, it's probably as good or slightly better than other places in similar price range.
