10 Best Nursing Homes in Amherst, NC

From the moment my mother moved in, the staff has gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and ease her anxiety from moving from her home after my father died. I am so grateful. Thank you so much!

The first impression was excellent. Everyone smiled and was very pleasant. We were given the tour and loved the place which made us bring my mom up to see it. She fell in love with the place and the room in which she was going to stay in. She has been there since December. We have discovered that the communication between the staff and administration was not good. We also discovered that the food was not good and limited choices regarding menu. It is clean and doesn’t smelled. Lots of light and had a few very nice sitting areas. The activity manager is fantastic. Has a lot of activities for the residence who want to participate. I did visited a couple of other facilities and did some comparisons. It was the best facility for my mom who has dementia. It does have a memory care attached which will be available when the need comes.

We feel very good about our decision to place Dad there. We have found the staff to be very helpful and attentive to his needs. They show kindness and patience with all the residents. I'm not sure they do activities with him, but that may be because my mother is there visiting most days. He isn't always well kept - ear wax, strong body odors, feet need attention, etc. - so that would be my only complaint. I would recommend this facility to others.
