It's a wonderful place and the staff caretakers are amazing. There is just one bad apple that doesn't do her job on the reception desk. She does not call you every morning to check up on you.
The Ridge at New Bern
4.0
It's a good facility, but like most, it has a few issues. The carpet was dirty and needed to be replaced because it had a urine smell.
The room size was adequate and the food was adequate but they did have a good variety.
I would recommend this community to others.
