CCNC is a safe, beautiful, facility with the most caring staff ever! For a facility this size the amenities and activities are outstanding too...I can barely wait to be aged! 2022 EDIT: This facility has undergone sweeping management & organizational changes during the past several months which negate ALL I said above. I will keep the residents in my prayers as CCNC is now akin to an understaffed prison.

It's a very Terrible, place where the Management makes up lies if they don't like their employees. They don't care for the Residence, they only care about who they don't want to take care of for that day..

It is a clean place. Staffing is mostly pretty good. The clients appear content. The staff are nice, very good at their job and are excellent with their patients. The attitude is "This is their home. We work for them."
