Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Rufus, NC
Brookdale Lenoir
4.5

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 Courtyards at Johnson City - The Gardens
3.8

When it comes to the meals and dining, this area needs lots of work. There needs to be healthier, fresh food...more vegetables and fruits. And better quality meats. The activities has recently dramatically improved with the hiring of a really good activities director. Previously, there were limited activities for the residents. Overall, we are happy with The Courtyards but there's room for improvement.

Grace Village Assisted Living and Memory Care in Granite Falls, NC

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.
