My mother has selected Waltonwood Cary Parkway. I did a virtual and an in-person tour, and it was a very positive experience. The staff was very helpful, informative, fabulous, knowledgeable, and very understanding. They were excellent. There was an empty apartment style room that I was able to view. I saw the dining area from a distance. My mother is moving from her own private room. She was very concerned with the space that she would have for herself personally, so the apartment style at Waltonwood was one of the deciding factors for her, on top of the care that they would be able to provide and the activities that they offer. Just having the living space apartment style was a very important factor for her, not just being in one single room. They provided muffin or a cookie on departure as a thank you that the chefs prepared. The facility may be a little bit older, but it's very well cared for and clean from what I could see. I know someone whose mom was there at Waltonwood, and it's been an extremely positive experience for them there. It was kind of a personal stamp of approval of what I was feeling and that made me feel a little bit better in making our final decision.

We visited Waltonwood Cary Parkway. The staff was excellent, very warm, and they seemed to know all the residents. It was very large, and the apartment they showed was a very long walk from the entrance, so that was very hard for my mom. However, the staff was great.

I would be careful about moving in to Waltonwood Cary. The building looks nice, even though it is a few years old, it has been maintained very well. I toured with the Executive Director of the community and she was aloof, seemed disinterested and made what seemed to me as very objectionable comments of other races. She would not look me in the eye nor did she smile at all. The other staff that I saw seemed a little more friendly but not much. I went back on a Saturday unannounced and things seemed to be out of control. I only visited two times but I would be nervous moving my mom into Waltonwood for any reason.

Waltonwood Cary Parkway is a beautiful facility. Their rates are comparable, but they're expensive. I like the fact that they have the cottages for independent living, and you can bring care in. I like the balcony on the 2-bedroom where you could sit out on. They were open, had windows, and seemed bright. They could improve on the availability of seeing all of the different units, and it would nice to be able to set up an appointment to see everything.

This is an attractive facility with good options from apartments to cottages. The staff is generally helpful but turnover is high. Some food servers are surly and clearly don't want to be working there. The food, however is often terrible -- at times inedible. This has been a chronic problem since my mother moved there 2 years ago. As she has her own kitchen this is less of an issue although she pays for two meals a day. On the occasions when family are invited or corporate executives are visiting the food can be quite tasty and well served. Day to day, it is just awful. This would be a top notch facility were it not for the food and high staff turnover.

We're living at Waltonwood in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. It's very nice. They have excellent equipment for working out, and the food is excellent. They have a whole list of activities like bingo. My wife is interested in the pool and swimming, so that's very important. They have an excellent library, so that keeps me very happy.

I really liked Waltonwood Senior Living. The people there are professional. They helped me out since my aunt was not really receptive on visiting a facility. I thought that this facility was a good option, but my aunt is not ready. I really liked that they have a movie theater, a pool, and a gym. It seems like they have different activities for the residents living there as well. It was a good option in terms of social interaction which I am trying to change for my aunt. They have transportation to take the residents to the malls, errands, and doctor's appointments.

Waltonwood has a low patient to staff ratio. Mom is in the memory care unit, and the staff is knowledgeable and very good. They have activities throughout the day, like they play games, take them on rides, and they take them out to eat. The place is clean and homey, and they have done a really good job with my mom.

I had come across Waltonwood through the Internet. The staff was very wonderful. They showed me everything that I needed to see. They also answered all my questions. The rooms were very nice and kept up. At that time of my visit there, I saw people doing puzzles, people playing cards, and people visiting and chatting in the common areas. It was a very nice and very busy community. They have a nice amount of activities for the residents.

We visited Waltoonwood and the place was very nice. It was clean and attractive, but there was no walking type area.

We had the pleasure of touring this great community today. We are looking for a place that Mom can be as independent as possible, but still get the assistants she needs. When we walked in we were made to feel like family from the very first hello. We have toured 3 other communities in the Cary area and feel we have found Mom a place to call home. The residents all looked and acted like they were happy and well taken care of. The community is beautiful, but after meeting the staff and residents that was just the icing on the cake.
