Excellent care for our Mom

We moved our loved one to Navion of New Bern [date removed] and know we made the right decision. This was a difficult transition as she lived independently until an accident in late August. The care and support our Mom receives gives us peace of mind and comfort and we consider the staff to be an extension of our family. The facility provides many activities for residents and also many fun events for families as well. The staff communicate well and keep us informed, they work with us to find solutions when needed. We highly recommend Navion of New Bern.

And you have peace of mind knowing our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency.

Our home-like one-story community is easily accessible for residents with limited mobility. The cozy fireside living room, sunlight-filled dining room and well-stocked library are inviting places to chat with friends and neighbors or curl up with a good book. If you like being outdoors, step into the lovely enclosed courtyard with its trees, walking path and shaded seating.

Our community offers resort-style amenities, including:

Review for Navion of New Bern

There is Room for improvement. There have been many changes at the facility in the last year for staff. Prices went up [removed]$ in the new year. They also changed out the carpeting, the dining room floor, and bought some new furniture. It looks nicer and seems fresher, but that does not help the level of care or the food. The manager was replaced, and many of the staff also left (from what i hear the staff were being paid less than other facilities. There were many times when my mother pulled the cord for assistance, and either it took an hour, they didn't think it was an emergency, or her needs were dismissed altogether. My next issue was the claim that if we didn't use there pharmacy, my mother would be charged an extra $[removed] a month. Also, no one actually cleans her room on any consistent basis. It's been left to me (her daughter), to clean, wash her clothes, shop for her, get her snacks (when she refuses to eat the food served. Another change was that if a resident did't go to a meal, or was sick, they added a $[removed] charge to deliver a meal to the room. Sometimes she misses meals when no one tells her it's time to eat. In general, she likes the relaxed atmosphere, loves a small percentage of staff and table mates. They let me keep track of her medication, let her vape, and have alcohol in her room. Not all facilities allow that. Note, that most people get their laundry done there. I chose to do it for her, because they lost something initially. Plus the person's name much be on every article of clothing or bedding. It is unclear to me how often the laundry is done. What i can attest to, is that her bathroom is not really cleaned, vacuuming is fast and some areas untouched, nothing is dusted. A few times a helper has used her clean towel to mop up the floor after a shower, without asking. My mother is not fond of certain workers showering her, and sometimes refuses if it is extremely early in the morning, or with a person she doesn't care for. A few have seemed untrained in this department.

Great place for mom as it improves under new management.

Things that really stand out...the administrative staff...especially the assistant director...very professional... new executive director seem to have a lot of energy...clinical staff is very nice and caring...mom likes the size ...small enough to be a "community/home like" place. Things they could improve on....food is not great and they have a couple of positions that have gone unfilled which has an impact on some services (e g., no driver for the bus....administrative staff fills in for required transportation)

After looking at a couple of assisted living facilities we chose Navion New Bern. Very happy with the choice. The care and personnel are excellent. Facilities are clean, well maintained and amenities cover anything needed.

One big happy family.

When my husband and I were visiting some of the Assisted Living Facilities several months ago, we stopped at Navion. We took the tour, met some of the residents and staff and all of our questions were answered. We were impressed. We just so happened to move our family member in the day they had their Christmas party. The staff went all out. The atmosphere was very family oriented, very festive and everyone had a great time. A young man with his wife and son entertained with his music and singing. Excellent! They have large calendars posted throughout the facility showing all the various activities available each day of the month. Some are outings, visiting groups, socials, etc. All of the staff have been absolutely wonderful. Thank you to all for your professionalism in your duties, your compassion to the residents and their families, and the shared laughs. Choosing Navion of New Bern was the best decision!

Review for Navion of New Bern

Navion staff are 100% loving, attentive and respectful of residents and their families. I am very happy with Navion Assisted Living Senior Services. The cost is high, but the quality of care is superior. I would recommend Navion in New Bern to anyone.

Wonderful people, but the food isn’t good

The place has been recently painted, the people are very nice, it feels personal because everyone knows your name, but the meals are lacking. Food is my mother’s main complaint. Most things are prepackaged, canned, processed, sugary or unappetizing. The facility is not to capacity, and so they reduced the hours of some workers. My mother has had to wait quite awhile for someone to come help her. No place is perfect for everyone, but my mom seems to like it there.

Brookdale New Bern review

What we really like about Brookdale New Bern were the staff, they were very friendly and helpful. The room my dad had was setup like an apartment. They didn't charge a lot of administering medication like some of the other places did. They didn't charge for every little thing, it was one set price. Based on the experience we had we would recommend the Brookdale New Bern community to other families.

Very Nice, but No Single Rooms Available

We were looking for a community for my wife, and she needed to move in quickly. Brookdale was a very nice community; however, they did not suit our particular needs. We would have had to furnish her room ourselves, as they had no furnished rooms available. Also, they did not have any single rooms available at the time, and we really wanted privacy for her. In order to get that, we would have had to pay for both beds in the room. Ultimately, we chose another community for our needs.

They take very good care of mom!!

The folks at Brookdale have been terrific, as far as how mom is adjusting and getting along she is having a harder time though. When mom first arrived there, she did not want to come out of the room much and so one of the associates at Brookdale made the point to visit with her and make friends with her to help get her out of the room. It worked out very well and got i=her interacting more. They have activities available but for us personally, the activities are not as important as the socialization. I see mom once a week for lunch and the meals are always good, they have very good food there and all of the folks there are nice. I watch the interaction between the staff and the residents and it is very good. The people there are definitely in the right place.

took good care

Mom was at Sterling House of New Bern which is now Brookdale of New Bern for respite care. The people were nice but I had to give them our original DNR order and I have not gotten it back from them. They took good care of her. She did come home with a cut on her leg so I am not sure what that is about. The experience was fine but I am not sure she will come back because of the location.

Very nice place!

They do a fantastic job at Sterling House of New Bern, my husband loves it! He says it is like being on a cruise every day! They get 3 cooked meals a day, have all sorts of activities, and they're just a clean well run place! I would recommend them highly, it has worked out very well for us so far!
