    Beautiful facility but unreliable, unsafe

    I stayed at this newer, well-kept facility - beautiful, clean rooms, nice location across from WakeMed, lots of activities, wheelchair-accessible and flexible dining, and generally good meals. Many front-line staff were caring, helpful and professional (certain aides and desk staff stood out) and rehab/hospice services could be very good. That said, my experience was inconsistent: chronic understaffing and high turnover led to missed meds, delayed transports, dehydration/weight loss and wound care problems for some residents, and communication and leadership often felt disorganized or hostile. Overall I had mixed feelings - lovely place and kind caregivers at times, but serious reliability and safety concerns that made me cautious.

    About Swift Creek Health Center at The Templeton of Cary

    Swift Creek Health Center at The Templeton of Cary sits in Cary, North Carolina, right in the heart of the Triangle region near Raleigh, and the campus feels busy with activity but also comfortable and bright, with upscale finishes that many call among the best around, and folks like how they can choose from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments-including bigger options for couples-and there's everything from independent and assisted living to memory support and skilled nursing, all in one place, so that means if needs change, you don't have to move to a new community. Residents get a lot here, from help with bathing, dressing, and medications, all the way to nursing care and personalized memory support, with trained RNs, LPNs, and CNAs on staff under a physician's eye-and many say the team is attentive, with care plans that really get reviewed and adjusted for each person. The place has a 5-star Medicare rating and is Medicare-certified, so it meets high standards, and the facility has 28 skilled nursing beds, with state-of-the-art rehab equipment for those who need therapy to get stronger and regain mobility.

    Weekly housekeeping, linen service, meal prep, and delivery are all included, which makes daily life a bit easier and frees up time for other things, and they also keep up with laundry and dry cleaning, which helps. There's scheduled transportation for appointments and trips, a concierge service, and lots of social activities, arts and crafts, and health programs to pick from, not to mention fitness classes, a pool, and a dining room where residents say the food has variety and is enjoyable. The center is right by Wake Med and many medical offices, making access to doctors easier, and the staff track important issues like infection control and keep watch on resident safety with a sprinkler system, security features, and even technology like solar-powered sensors, social bracelets for both staff and residents, and the Nxtgen Care system to monitor movements, social engagement, and care response times.

    The accommodations are designed for both independent seniors and for those needing more support, including those with Alzheimer's or dementia, where staff use specialized memory care programs that focus on what residents can do, and everyone gets a care plan that's reviewed regularly. There are several room types-studios, single rooms, two-bedroom units, semi-private and private skilled nursing rooms-and all have features like cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes, and WiFi, with guest parking for visiting family. The whole place leans towards a community feel, where residents join in classes, games, and activities if they'd like, and it tends to draw people who are still quite active but want some level of help with everyday tasks or just want more peace of mind as they age. There's no entry fee, just a flexible rental model, and folks considering a move can set up a tour or consultation through their "connect" system, where they advise talking over costs, services, and move-in details to be sure there's a good fit. The place has a community sentiment score of 4.1 out of 5, and is part of Liberty Senior Living, with Carolyn Yliniemi-Hirschler as the administrator, so people living here experience a blend of practical services, newer technology, and a supportive, watchful staff team on a campus that's been set up for seniors to live as independently as possible while having needed health services close at hand.
