10 Best Nursing Homes in High Rock, NC

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.

It's so difficult not being able to visit inside due to Covid. But it's been a lot better experience than I anticipated, because I feel my loved one's quality of life has improved, simply because she's interacting with other residents and staff. She feels safe, and she's not asking me to take her home. I feel like this has been great for her state of mind. I would recommend Elmcroft to anyone who is struggling with caring for a loved one with dementia. Any of the staff we've interacted with has been very kind to my loved one, especially the activities director. She sends me pictures of my loved one doing crafts and things, sitting outside, interacting with other residents. Which is great because where my loved one came from before, they had her just sitting around without much stimulation. She seems comfortable at Elmcroft.
