10 Best Nursing Homes in Healing Springs, NC

It has been five years this month since Mother chose to make North Pointe of Asheboro her home. I was impressed with the staff and facility on my first visit and have continued to value both even more over the years. An inviting atmosphere and home-like environment greets everyone at the door and extends throughout the building. More importantly, the dedicated and professional staff provides a wide spectrum of care to meet the individual needs of every resident. Someone is always available to offer an encouraging word, provide general assistance, host or supervise activities, administer prescribed medications, assist in case of emergency – the list goes on and on. Should a staff member ever notice any area of concern, there is contact with a family member to make them aware and/or keep them informed. North Pointe exemplifies the environment we expected in an assisted living community. I have a great time “going home” to visit mother knowing when I am not with her she is loved and cared for by a fantastic team of professionals.

Overall experience - this is difficult to answer because simply placing a wife of 61 years in memory care is inherently a very difficult experience for everyone. I think they did as well as anyone could to make it as easy as possible. The community is very clean. They sometimes allow routine health issues to get out of hand before they can begin administering medications. I have contracted with [home care name removed] to have a companion for my wife at TerraBella 40 hours a week. This helps her and gives me bit of peace of mind. Also the assisted living part of the facility appears to be a much happier place but that is to be expected.

No place is perfect, but the staff at Brookdale does their best, but she fell a lot!! And several times there were no staff available to see what happened. It's very expensive and I wish there were some other options for seniors, but every option is expensive. I appreciate the staff's love for my mom & we were all sad at the end of June when we had to move her to a skilled nursing center. I personally would have loved a facility that was trained in dementia & Alzheimer's care using Dr Dale Bredesen's technique, but nothing was available that we could find near where my mom lives. I hope in the future there will be more facilities trained in his program to aid families like ours.
