I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

What I like about having my mother at The Village of Kinston is that it's a family environment. It's small and it's a family setting. The safety of the residents seem OK. The memory care is setup like a family room and kitchen combination, with the rooms outside of that big room. So, it's like walking into a family room. There's also an outdoor area. They're in the process of doing a major remodel; they're painting and doing the cabinets. They're doing a big upgrade, and it l…

I've been to The Village of Kinston several times because I have relatives there. The staff were very caring, and it was very clean. The rooms were very neat and roomy. The place was very friendly, quiet, and calm. The dining area is very nice, and it looked clean and appetizing. I am not sure what they do, but I know they do games and activities -- but as to what they are, I don't know. When I visited, they were doing games and exercising.

I had a nice tour of this community. Everything went well for the most part. From what I saw the community looked nice just not very inviting and it wasn't the right fit for my sister-in-law. The pricing was higher than what some of the other communities offered. And the amenities were not as good.

Very Good Staff

This is a great community and everything is working out very well for my mother in law. She has adjusted well to the community and seems to really like it. The community looks great and everything is nice and clean. They have an excellent staff at this community. They have been very helpful and kind. She is eating good and trying out some new activities. I would recommend this community, it has been a great experience for us.

Would not recommend

Our experience with The Village of Kinston has not been a good one. My loved one really has not been comfortable here. They seem very understaffed, the people who work here have themselves stretched thin. I have also heard a lot of complaints about the food.
