Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living in Boone, NC
5.0 / 5.0

I will start by saying there were only 2 negatives. However, the positive experience did outweigh the negative, so in the last survey question I gave a rating of 5 (being best) still would hold true. My negatives were the deposit, which was a whole months rent along with processing fee up front, on top of the partial month's rent. That was almost a $14k deal breaker. I felt this was extremely excessive to walk him in the door, in my opinion. Overall, the individuals working at Deerfield Ridge were compassionate and caring. The accommodations were clean and well kept. The linens were washed daily. Along with Hospice Care checking in frequently and my daily visits, the experience was the best I could have possibly hoped for.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Abingdon
3.9 / 5.0

My loved one was previously a resident at Commonwealth Senior Living at Abingdon. The staff were friendly and did seem to care about the residents on a personal level, but they weren't all medically trained. The Activities Director was awesome. The food was very good. The cleanliness was okay, but could be improved. The price of this facility was high and the doctors seemed to order tests that weren't needed.

Forest Ridge in West Jefferson, NC
4.7 / 5.0

We chose Forest Ridge because it came recommended to us. I called several places and when I called this facility, they said they had nurses on staff and would be able to deal with any of his medical needs instead of just sending him to the hospital. They also said eventually when he needed hospice, they would come to him and he would not have to move. Every staff member from the time they came to my home to evaluate him to the hospice nurses were wonderful. They were always so supportive and I always had a shoulder to cry on if needed. They were always so helpful with anything that we needed, especially with financial questions about the VA. I have only good things to say about them and I would highly recommend them to others who are looking.
