In re: to 7. Most of the residents just walked in circles around the unit or watched TV. Always overhead them being told to sit down. No significant interaction. We were told by the NP that the staff was too busy to assist walking with my father around the unit to get exercise. It was just so disappointing and so different from my first impression. We were on a waitlist for approximately a year.

Mom's arrival included a walk on the red carpet to cut a ribbon and a welcome home greeting from the staff who then personally introduced themselves. The staff is friendly, loving, and amazing. The food is wonderful. Highly engaging activities and a strong sense of community.Highly recommended!

Staff which included nurses, kitchen help & especially the activities director, [name removed], genuinely cared for my mom & the other residents. Many times the office staff would step up if need be as well, often going above their job requirements to help the residents. Obviously over time there were my favorites who quickly became like family to mom & myself. The food was plentiful but typically rather bland as one might expect with many on restricted diets. But the residents always had multiple options which were selected the prior day. If they didn't like the choices they could opt for a grill cheese sandwich or something of that sort. Residents typically ate at assigned seats which helped foster friendships. Having an in house beauty salon was nice too since mom got weaker in those last few months of her life & it became challenging to get her out. The facility was always very clean & only a few times really smelled bad. At those times it was clear the staff were doing all in their power to assist the resident, get them & the area cleaned up & refreshed. When mom broke a slat on her window blind the maintenance guy came quickly upon my request & replaced her blind. I honestly couldn't have been happier with Spring Arbor.

The food is good, the staff is very caring. There are a lot of celebrations and activities. The express pharmacy is a great service, taking care of insurance and everything. There is furniture and bedding available if you don't bring your own. They made an extra effort to keep him in assisted living rather than memory care so he has more freedom.

I would rate 5 for all of the above. They were wonderful. The place was always clean, the food always looked delicious and the staff were so friendly. You could tell they loved mom even though she could be a little spicy at times. I would absolutely refer Spring Arbor to anyone.

A memory care unit is hard to evaluate. I was impressed with several members of the staff. The staff/client ratio was the best I could find. The facility is very clean, meals were well prepared. I felt more supervision was needed with walking for my loved one. I would overall recommend because I could not find a better facility with the kind of ration in the area - the max they take into their memory care unit is 15

Food was a big thing for us. Mom stopped eating because she didn't like what they cooked. They also pressured her to go and eat in the dining room.

The staff is lovely and professional. Environment is clean and intimate. The facility always smells nice. The food has a high salt content and that can not be changed. We just don’t care for the institutionalized food.

I used A place for mom to find an assisted living facility for my mother. From the beginning they were very helpful. We go her moved in and she has adjusted well. Every staff member I have dealt with has been great. They are all so kind and patient with the residents. The activities director has done a great job getting my mother involved, which is not easy to do. The manager of good services is do sweet, going the extra mile to make sure my mother has food she likes. I recommend Spring Arbor.

I give them a #5 on all of the above. They have been amazing. They are expensive but they all are. I love the memory care unit for my mom who has dementia. This unit is completely secure and the patients can roam freely thru the unit. Also they only have 14 patients in the unit so they all kind of know each other. The place is kept clean and the food is very good. The staff are exceptional.

From the first visit to today, two months in residence, my sister has been treated very well, with respect, patience, and dignity. All staff members are very helpful to her and family members. Communication from the caregivers with family is excellent as well.

We love Spring Arbor & it seems to be the perfect fit for mom. The smaller sized facility plus wonderful caring staff have made for a great few months. Mom will never be "happy" not being in her own home but this makes more sense to her than independent apartment living did. And the place is kept exceptionally clean. Even to the point where the facilities guy came in to wipe mom's shower curtain down with Barkeepers Secret while I was there.

Overall. Med staff/caregivers were great. It is a much older population that we expected. The admin staff pushed her to eat in the dining room. There were several times where they said she had to. No other option. When she didn't, she didn't get a meal. It took us a few weeks to get them to leave that piece alone. Unfortunately, my mom just wasn't happy.

We moved here and brought mom from another memory care unit. The administration and care staff have been very attentive to mom’s needs. The facility is clean and inviting. When we visit there have been some large activities going on including music and Hawaiian themed party. Our dad is very happy with the facility. Would recommend.

We have been extremely pleased with the care, attention, and time the caregiver team has devoted to our 94 year old dad. The administration is accessible, attentive, and lead a team of professionals that engage with residents and anticipate their needs. The activity schedule is full and individuals are encouraged to attend. The food is great - our dad no longer misses meals. Our dad has adjusted well after transitioning from independent living. We can't say enough about the respect and courtesy shown by the Spring Arbor care team to residents.

The staff is lovely. Everyone is very loving and friendly. I feel my mother is safe here and that she will get the care she needs ...the head nurses are all excellent The staff is not always in sync with one another but eventually will be ... and there is a pretty big turnover with the aides (which is normal) so its important to stay involved to make sure all needs are met . My mother is slowly becoming more comfortable and has created connections so I have no plans in looking around at other places.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know North Carolina’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about North Carolina’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
