32 Independent Living near Facilities Vander, NC. Page 2

I have never seen a place where everyone on the staff smiles and is friendly with only an exception or two (none in key positions). The food is great -[name removed] the restaurant manager, is terrific. The facilities are top notch & maintained well. Likewise, the residents are almost universally friendly & chatty, which my loved one really enjoys. The facility is located in a great area: good shopping, easy access to medical facilities. Cost is high, but not out of line for services received. All these places are expensive.

Southern Pines Gracious Living has been a very good place for my mom, small enough that everyone knows each other and greats you when you come in. Staff is curious and helpful when needed. They don't provide nurse care or therapy but have some companies on site that do. I could not be happier with those providers!

I give all of the categories 5 stars with the exception of the meals and dining, the food is not good. By the time they get the food to the table it's cold. And elderly people should not be eating hot dogs on a regular basis. What sticks out the most about Bayberry Retirement Inn is the size of the facility, it is small and that works well for a lot of people.
