Wonderful place!

This facility has been wonderful for my Mom! The "live-in" couples that are there to manage there are truly caring and go beyond the call of duty. They also have a good sense of humor about them as they go about their day; that makes the atmosphere very positive. I have eaten some meals there myself and the food is very good. The employees that serve the residents are kind and patient even to the folks that can be a bit challenging to deal with. The Woods at Holly Tree is two stories with elevators or stairs. The pictures show it well with lots of light shining in the windows. Not depressing like some other places can be. I wouldn't hesitate to go in for a visit and see for yourself.

So far we have been pleased. We haven't had any issues at all. The maintenance and service of the facility itself, are wonderful. The people are exceptionally friendly, and helpful. The cleanliness is right at the top they go out of their way to maintain that place. The mangers live there on site so they are always there. The food is excellent, better than we ever could have expected. They were hands down the best place we saw there was no two ways about it. I would give them a five plus!

A welcoming experience.

The staff at the Rio Grande were most helpful and welcoming. From our first visit and tour of the community, to my mother's move in a month later, our family was supported. At one point, my mom changed her mind about moving (last minute jitters), and David encouraged her to come back for some additional visits. As a result, mom will be moving into her new apartment at the Rio Grande on January 15th. We have a large family, and my mom has insisted on taking everyone for a tour before she moved. The staff at the Rio Grande have been most gracious about providing tours and delicious sample meals. The Rio Grande feels like a real community where people care about keeping your loved one safe and happy.

Warm,welcoming and friendly

Last week i took a day to tour different senior retirement homes for my grandmother and i must say i stopped by the highlands and i was amazed,the staff was warm,welcoming and friendly,the place was clean and there was genuine concern about the residents. i visited around the lunch time hour so i was able to have lunch and it was awesome,i also had small chat with the chef and was happy to find out that his number one priority is to ensure that the residents are healthy,so besides good food,there is also activities that keep the residents active and my grandmother is never the one sit around. I am impress by all i have seen and heard while i was there so i'm definitely gonna put my grandmother here.

My Grandmother called Carolina Estates her home for the last four years of her life. As her primary care giver, I spent a lot of time with her at CE. I found CE to be a warm, welcoming environment where the residents became a second family to her. Rita in the salon, the maintenance, housekeeping, and kitchen staff were friendly and caring. The management team of Keith,Patty, Kyle, and Netta are attentive to the residents needs and well being, they were supportive and accommodating to her, and our family's needs. There is always something fun going on at CE if residents choose to participate, family members are often invited to join in too. She especially enjoyed shopping trips and outings on the bus. Maintaining her independence was most important to her, and at CE, she was able to do that. Thank you! :)
