Key Review Excerpts

My Dad, who served in the Air Force, has been at the Kernersville VA home since September. He is in the memory care unit. My sister and I feel so blessed and fortunate to have Dad in a place where he has such amazing care.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

My dad has been a resident for a few months now, we absolutely love this place… more importantly my dad loves this place … he now refers to it as “home” or “were he lives” I’m so thankful that even with his disability they include him in all the activities.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

Keynaya Jones is very horrible with the patients here. My dad has expressed his concerns about how he is treated in her care. I have already reported her multiple times & nothing has come about this.

Highly dependent on how each facility screens and codes depressive symptoms, so it varies widely between facilities.
