There isn't a better place for me to live.
I have a warm, spacious and comfortable room. The staff is patient, helpful, alert and sincere. I feel safe in my environment and well cared for. There is a significant amount of activities geared towards a man my age, which is 73.

Our families experience
First day my mom was there she was not fed and they forgot her medicines a few times. The staff didn't come to room when she called and we paid extra for high level of care. The place is better for people who have dementia. The physical therapy awful. She started doing things on her own because she didn't receive assistance . But it worked out because she was able to move to independent living

I went by to tour the community for my mom, but wasn’t able to schedule an appointment. The executive director was immediately able to accommodate and show me around the community when the marketing director was out of the office. He was so helpful and took the time to answer all my questions. This was my first community I toured and was so impressed with the cleanliness and caring staff while working with the residents. Anyone would be lucky to love their loved ones into this community.

Quality of care is probably a 5. I have not eaten there.? The food looks good and my family member seems to eat well there. Probably give it a 4. Activities sound great Give that a five.

Moms safe haven
All was excellent. What we like most about the community is The staff. I really trust them . They are always including me with every decision they make in regards to my mom's care and happiness. It is a very clean place and the have a tendency to spoil ALL of the residents. It not a community for care. It's a warm home. Even the family members great each other like family. I have adopted more adult children who have family members residing there. We have so much in common.

Strongly recommend
My parents are very happy here, which says a lot to me. This facility is great. It's a warm environment, beautiful and clean, and there are always activities going on. Everyone has been extremely friendly and most of the residents seem very happy here. The food is good, good quality and variety. My parents have mentioned, several times, how much food is offered here. They also have a good variety of activities: a lady from the zoo has brought animals in, they took a trip to the Butterfly Museum, performers coming in to sing, and regular in house activities as well. They do offer transportation, but that could improve. It's sometimes hard to schedule/coordinate and I think that's due to availability and only having one driver. Housekeeping is done often and things are always neat and tidy. Laundry is done once a week and is always returned to the residents the next day. Communication with the family is very good. We were impressed with this facility from the very beginning when we arrived for our tour. In fact, my husband even asked me if I wanted/needed to tour the place because it felt so nice from the very beginning when we walked in. It's a great place! I would absolutely strongly recommend this facility to family and friends.

Not a Good Fit
We were not happy there. As soon as we moved in, the activities director happened to quit. I think they had a new manager. Our loved one was being charged for Level 3 care, which she did need at first. But they weren't really doing anything for her. Sometimes they forgot to bring her medications to her. There was a day when she first moved in that they forgot to feed her - I think it was just a lack of communication to all the staff that they had a new resident. They didn't come consistently when she pressed her call button. So she just started getting up and doing things on her own. They sold it to us very well, It's a very clean facility, and they just got done remodeling. But I feel like it's more for people who really need a lot care, and less for people who are mentally acute and active. Many of the residents had dementia, and our loved one had a hard time finding people to talk to there. It was also very expensive for assisted living. I will say, they did reassess her and are giving me some money back. And they are very friendly - the staff are very sweet and nice.

As someone who was recently brought in to work in the Life Enrichment department, I have been blown away by the compassion and dedication of this place. The staff truly cares for each resident as an individual and goes out of there way to make each and every person (resident and staff alike) feel seen and appreciated. I respect the integrity of the leadership and the importance they place on creating a safe, loving and happy environment for all.

Worthy of Consideration
On reflection, it is far easier now to assess my personal experience with Carolina Reserve. Considering our dire circumstances and the urgency we faced in late June, 2022, CR stepped up and helped to facilitate and secure placement for our Mom. This was no small task as " Mom" who was suffering from advanced Dementia was not the most desirable candidate for any long term care facility. However, the Director of Sales/Marketing with whom our family got to know, took a personal interest in our plight. She felt that despite the challenge Mom might present, Carolina Reserve would be an appropriate fit. Although there were occasional missteps due to changes in staff and Covid outbreaks, the community kept residents and loved ones informed and updated reasonably well. The facility itself was going through renovations while Mom was there which was disruptive, but the end result was worth it. It is a well maintained and very attractive, intimate community and worthy of consideration.

We had a very good tour at Carolina Reserve of Durham. They were very kind and very receptive. They answered all of our questions. I thought it would be a good fit for my loved one. But after their nurse evaluated her, they felt she required too much care. Which came as a surprise. I don't think she seemed to require more assistance than the other residents I saw on the tour.

Tips for evaluating your community options

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the North Carolina regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about North Carolina regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Carolina Reserve of Durham 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
