Staff was very competent, friendly and showed my loved one much support and guidance. Room was beautiful. I especially liked that each room had it’s own bathroom, making the transition more like home.

My wife has only gotten in there a few weeks ago. I don't know how she is enjoying it or not to make a recommendation. It's not mine to make.

The Heritage of Sugar Mountain in Newland, NC

It was a very good placement. My son who lives there, he doesn't require a lot of care. He takes care of himself. If it was someone who was bedridden I couldn't judge that, but for him, I'd tell people it was a very good placement.
