The Pearl at Five Forks

The Pearl was not a good fit for my mother's memory care needs.

In [date removed], my wife became a resident at The Pearl. Her medical needs and level of care required became greater than I could accomplish at home. Over the last 7 months, I have found that she has been exercising much more than at home and she has formed relationships with the other residents, none of which happened at home, even before her Parkinson's had progressed to the level it was when she became a resident.

My mom has been at the Pearl for about 18 months. My sisters and I are very happy with the care that she is getting. The staff cares so much for the residents and there are many activities each and every day. The staff is definitely a team that works together so well. I would absolutely recommend the Pearl!. I can't thank them enough for all they do each and every day for my mom.

We used A Place For Mom when we were looking for a place to put my mom. We toured several homes. but the Pearl is where Mom showed us she was happy, She was very relaxed and was content to go off with the staff and not need us around. She referred to it as her house and I can only contribute that to the loving and friendly staff. Everyone there did everything they could to make use feel at ease and confident in our decision. Leaving a love one to someone else's care is never easy but we know we were doing the right thing and leaving her at the best place around.

We moved my mom from an assisted living to The Pearl, a total memory care facility. I have been very impressed with the professionalism, the kindness, the outreach, and even the compassion. All of the staff has been over backwards to assist my mom and helping her to acclimate to her new home. It has been a very good experience all the way around.

We previously had my mother in a different popular local facility and not only was she completely miserable, I was concerned for her care and safety. Thank goodness we found The Pearl! It has been a great experience. The staff is VERY caring and my mom has very much enjoyed her experience. There have been little issues here and there, but I realize that caring for people with Dementia and Alzheimer's is a challenging responsibility. I also have a bit of a drive, but I don't think I could have found a better place! I'm a critical reviewer, but couldn't find any reason not to give 5 stars in every category.

My father has been at The Pearl at Five Forks for 4 years. This place is absolutely the most caring and loving community that anyone could ask for. All workers are kind and always do what is best for the people there. I am a Daddy's girl -- always have been -- and my siblings and I visited other places. The Pearl felt like home when we first walked in. Trust me -- I would not leave my precious Daddy there if it were not THE BEST. So clean -- food is great-- the care is unbelievable -- and the staff is excellent.

They were interested and helpful

My Mother was one of the first residents that moved into this caring community when they opened. She was there 3 1/2 years before she passed away last year and she loved it there and I was so happy that she was there. She received excellent care. I was so pleased with The Pearl at Five Forks, that when it was time to make that decision for my husband, my husband and I both agreed that he would also reside there. The Pearl at Five Forks has an exceptional staff with very low turnover and that makes a huge difference in being able to provide quality care.

I highly recommend visiting The Pearl at Five Forks for your loved one. From the first visit to all of the following visits, I have consistently been greeted by caring and professional staff. I have first hand experienced the patience, care and assistance provided to all residents, as well as, reaching out to residents that tend to want to stay in their room. The Staff will make an extra effort to bring the pet therapy visitor to them or assist them in getting to a group activity so that no one misses out on an opportunity. I am grateful to know that memory care facilities like this exist in our community.

We chose The Pearl because of the location and the way it was presented to us during the tour, we felt it would be the best fit for him. The room sizes are adequate, could be a bit bigger. They staff member's are great at their job and really care for the residents. If you need something they do not put you on the back burner. All around it has been a good experience and I would highly recommend.

We loved it here, and we loved the person who led the tour. He was fabulous and answered any questions we had. We actually looked into moving our loved one here, and they performed an intake assessment. Based on that assessment, we made a mutual decision with the intake person that our loved one was in need of skilled nursing as opposed to just the memory care provided at The Pearl. None of us wanted to take the risk that they would not be able to care for his medical issues on top of his dementia. I highly recommend The Pearl based on our interactions with them. We were devastated that it wouldn’t work out. The person who led our tour and stayed in contact with us was was so communicative, and he was a big help in getting us into a skilled nursing facility. He was the one who helped us realize that an intake assessment should have been done at the original facility where we placed our loved one, and that the lack of assessment there was a huge factor in the heartbreaking experience we had at that other facility. I appreciated their honesty at The Pearl, and the whole experience working with them was great.

We moved our loved one to the community recently. They rushed to make sure my loved one was diagnosed with COVID, and the community nurses were quick to recommend a treatment to the doctor at the hospital. This was so impressive to us.

I would say to try this community out. You should call and talk to the community if you need care. This has a good home feel, good setting, and feels like family.

My bother toured this community for our mother, and her needs. For the most part everything went well, but we did not feel this was the right fit for my mother, and her needs. We did find another community that suited our needs better overall.

The people at this community were friendly. The community seemed well taken care of. They seem to offer some nice amenities and seem to accommodate the residents dietary needs.
