We chose Home Place of Burlington because of the informative tour as well as the fact that my mother knew several residents there. These residents provided a great recommendation. I really like Eventus, the medical staff. They are very informative.

Holiday Cedar Ridge in Burlington, NC

What few staff remain are awesome. My loved ones tell me that the food is bad and just seems to be getting worse. I have not asked for specific details though. The other residents there are very friendly! The only complaint is the food.
