Brookdale Hickory Northeast

5.0
The staff was attentive, engaging, and genuinely cared. They went above and beyond making this a place my dad would be comfortable. The place is warm and friendly. They care about details and people.

Catawba Valley Living at Rock Barn in Claremont, NC

5.0
We had a loved one here for years. We really liked it. We only moved so that she could be closer to family. They were always clean and the staff always friendly. The food was good, and she was really happy there.

Somerset Court of Cherryville

4.0
My only concern has been, when my mom is asked something, the attendant asking, to willingly accepts no for an answer. Most of why my mom is there is because she sets and does nothing, until her muscles turned to mush. It was easier for her not to eat, than to get up and fix something to eat.
