About Nursing Home Care in Stanley
When it comes to nursing home care in Stanley, NC, families need to proceed with caution. The standout is Stanley Total Living Center, but that's not a recommendation; it actually falls short of acceptable standards with a troubling **Grade F** rating. The overall market for nursing homes in Stanley is concerning, as it has an average rating of **2.0 stars**, significantly below the state average of **2.8 stars**. Families seeking care for their loved ones should explore options in neighboring cities rather than rely on local facilities.
Unfortunately, there are no facilities in Stanley that can confidently be recommended. While Stanley Total Living Center is the only option available, it has serious issues, including a hefty **$75K in fines**. Given the lack of positive alternatives, families should look toward nearby areas like Gastonia or Belmont, where you may find better-rated facilities with more favorable conditions.
When it comes to facilities to avoid, skip Stanley Total Living Center entirely due to its **Grade F** rating and the financial penalties it has accrued. Such issues raise significant concerns about the quality of care provided. A practical tip when visiting any facility is to ask about staff-to-resident ratios and to observe the overall cleanliness and atmosphere – trust your instincts about what feels right for your loved one’s care.
