I just can’t say enough wonderful things about The Lodge at Mills River Health & Rehabilitation! Everyone there is just amazing! My dad has been there for about a month following a major stroke. The first person we communicated with at The Lodge was Shannon P., the Director of Marketing and Admissions. She is INCREDIBLE! Shannon is so kind, energetic, helpful, and knowledgeable. She made what would often be an overwhelming process so smooth and as stress-free as possible. My dad was picked up at the hospital by…

They really helped them a lot. It's extremely well-kept and really clean. It's kind of the palace of some of the nursing homes around here, ju…

I also liked Beystone and that's where I will send my mom if she ever gets bedridden and start feeling downhill. They have good food, good care. It's a smaller facility, there are only 50 beds but I've heard really good things about them. It's warm, friendly, cozy, clean, and attentive. The interior was clean and comfortably and nicely updated. The exterior looked a little sad like a 1960s architecture building so it wasn't real great to look at on the outside but on the inside, it was good…
