I visited this facility

I've chosen Highlands Senior Living Gaston because the cost is very reasonable. The biggest thing is that they accept Medicaid. My brother and I toured it last week and made the decision that that's definitely where I want to go. It's very nice, it's very clean, and the staff there is very nice. Every person we came in contact with, just walking down the hall, spoke and was friendly. It's a smaller community. It didn't have a lot of people, and I liked that. It has lots of amenities. I…

Highly affordable care

Staff and management are great. Building is clean and smells great. Caregivers and housekeepers are incredibly friendly and truly care about residents. I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my dear friend

The outside of Highlands Senior Living Gaston doesn't look very inviting. We went inside, it was better. They had just taken over a year ago, so I know it takes a little while to update a place.

My friend moved to Highlands Senior Living Gaston. It's a very happy place. They're so well cared for, and they just have smiles on their faces, and they're doing a lot for them. It's just nice to go there. Her apartment is a little small, but it's comfortable. It's clean. They have all their own things in there. She has a therapist. She is in a situation where she is in a special area for those with dementia.

I went to look at Highlands Senior Living in Gaston. It's a good community. The staff was very knowledgeable about letting us know what goes on there, what's available, and all that. Their rooms are what I'm looking for. I saw the residents sitting in the dining area, drinking sodas, and doing a little snack thing.

Rapha Residential Care was not a good fit for my mom. It wasn't a welcoming environment in my opinion, and it was like in the rural area with not very much around as far as stimulating activities to engage my mom in. I didn't see too much activity going on with the residents that are there now. The people were nice, the ones that I've met, but I just didn't like the location. The facility could have been a little bit cleaner, and the furniture could have been updated. The person who showed me ar…
