Types of care available in Apex, NC
Senior Apartments
It is a smaller facility, has a good staff and a reasonable cost which meets my mother's needs. Overall, Green Leaf, although somewhat dated, the facility provides care and services necessary to maintain a healthy environment for its residence. Improvement could be made on the food with options and more activities. Would love to see more activities outside the facilities.
I would highly recommend Falls River Villages. The care is excellent, the staff are loving and supportive. There are plenty of varied activities to keep patients interested and involved. The thing that most attracted me to Falls Village initially was the warmth and sincerity of staff and this held true during my sister in law's entire stay!
From the moment we walked into Brookdale, it felt as comfortable as stepping into our own living room. When we met the Sales Director, we immediately sensed that he and his team would be warm and welcoming. His experience and expertise in managing new residents (our loved one) was clear. We even connected over the fact that both of his parents and my parent, whom we were trying to place at Brookdale, were principals. While my mother's transition was a bit challenging, the staff reassured us, saying, "Don’t worry, we’ve got this." Their support was a great comfort during a difficult time for our family. Since moving in July 2024, my mother has grown to love the activities, the piano, her fellow Brookdale residents, and especially the food. We are so thankful to Brookdale for welcoming her and providing excellent care.
