I have nothing but good things to say about the Veterans home in Kinston. They take very good care of my father. They have helped to make a difficult time a little easier. He is always clean and neat. The food is very good.

The N.C. Veterans Home in Kinston is “five star” across the board. It’s a beautiful and very clean facility with an attentive and caring staff.From administrative, therapists, nursing staff, et al… I am sooo grateful. If my Dad can’t be at home( because there is no place like home) this is the next best place!!!

My brother is a Navy veteran and now resides in the memory care unit in the North Carolina Veterans Home. He has only been there for 2 months and already seems better than he has in several years. He is clearly well cared for. The staff is helpful and interact compassionately and kindly with the Veterans and their visitors.

My Dad was there for about a month and a half. For the most part everybody was caring. I only had one incident. I walked into my dad's room and he was sitting on the floor in a diaper half undone. I look over and saw a patient sitter playing and talking on her phone. I was extremely upset and hurt. The nurses one the locked unit were very kind. I was an emotional wreck and they talk me through things. I was sad about receiving the phone call after he had passed. I wish they would have called me before hand .

I lead a Team of credentialed, certified, insured therapy dogs who visit this facility once a month. All the Teams live in New Bern so we invest an hour each way in travel time to honor our veterans. We arrived for our scheduled visit today only to be informed there was an outbreak at the Home requiring that everyone mask up. No prior warning of the condition of the facility was given to us to allow our group to make the decision to enter the premises. Several of my Team members have compromised immune systems and need to be made aware of these potentially dangerous situations. Ever since Tracy resigned from her position as activities director, things have spiraled downhill. Bonnie Ard, the Administrator of the facility, will not answer my e-mails. This was a huge waste of time for my dedicated volunteer Teams that could have been avoided with a simple phone call.
