Holiday Emerald Pond in Durham, NC
4.3

[name removed] and the entire staff at Emerald Pond genuinely care about the residents. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a community for their parents. My Mom likes it there.

Magnolia Glen in Raleigh, NC
5.0

My family and I have been very pleased with the care our mother and brother got at MG. Our mother was in independent living and our brother was in assisted living. They would both still be there had it not been for the decline of my mother’s cognitive decline. We had to move her to a facility with memory care… We all highly recommend MG!

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.
