It’s hard to put into words what this place has meant to our family. My mom lived here for 14 years, and over time it truly became her home. The staff were not just caregivers — they became family. They showed her love, dignity, patience, and incredible skill every single day. They knew her routines, her smiles, and her struggles, and they met her with compassion through it all. We all have flaws and I am no exception. My mom could be grumpy (to put it mildly) and honestly so could I. I didn’t understand so many things that were required or just different from home but I learned. They were not perfect and neither was I. I have never met a family that was. Greendale sure had a hard job putting up with me and mom. We all survived the roller coaster. I smile when I think of all the stuff we had in her room. All the apples she hoarded for the first 5 years. Over the last two years of her life, we were also blessed to have the support of Gentiva Hospice working alongside the nursing home staff. Their nurses and team brought an added layer of comfort, compassion, and guidance during such a difficult time. We are deeply thankful that we were allowed to have both teams caring for her, supporting not only our mom, but our entire family when we needed it most. In February 2026, my mom passed away here. That day, we didn’t just lose our mother — we also felt like we lost an extended family who had walked alongside us for so many years. They allowed this journey to end with Grace. They extended me every courtesy. It takes a very special kind of person to do this work, and Greendale is filled with those people. I found a sister there - we will forever share mom. She knew her voice better than mine at the end. You see I was no longer Jerry, she would call me Dad. We will forever be grateful for the comfort they gave her and the peace they gave us, knowing she was loved and cared for so deeply. Thank you for giving my mom a home, not just a room, and for walking with us through her final chapter with such grace and love.

Do not let the Lobby trick you... This place is incredibly filthy and it looks very unsanitary. I don't care if they have a 98 sanitation Grade, trust me... It is filthy. The rooms and hallways made me feel like I was temporarily in a 3rd world country. The staff also comes off as somewhat rude and they tend to be unhelpful. I would recommend sending your loved one somewhere else (maybe go to Newbern, Rocky Mount or Goldsboro) or the Veterans place in Kinston (if they served in the military).

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PLACE. My mother was admitted over a weekend. I got there the next day. She AND her roommate were lying in the dark, soiled and crying. My mother had NO WATER. Her call button was on the floor behind the bed. The nurse was spraying fly spray at the nurse's station and flies were on her scrubs. The bathroom was filthy. It was so hot my mom was coughing and choking. We opened the window only to discover the smoking area was just outside the window. I had her moved to what I thought was a " nicer" room. The bathroom was again, filthy. The wall was destroyed. Because it was a weekend, she couldn't be evaluated by PT or OT and was not allowed to have a wheelchair or walker. Consequently, she fell trying to get to the bathroom. They sent her to the ER because her BP was dropping after the fall. She returned to the facility only to be returned AGAIN to the ER. It was a nightmare. I will be reporting them to DHHS.

We went to visit a friend. It was an amazing facility. So clean and the staff so kind and helpful. Our friend was involved in playing in bingo and he was so happy. Bingo is twice a day and gives him lots of to look forward to. I’ve visited so many facilities over the years and this particular place was by far a stellar facility. Great cleanliness, staff, and care. Very impressed!!! Thankful for our friend that he’s in such a great place to call home away from home.

My cousin has been a resident for about 4 years and my random visits have been pleasant and fulfilling. He is always clean and smiling. His room is always clean and he is comfortable with his stay here. The staff is friendly and my observations are that all residents are treated the same. This is a great facility for people who need this kind of support. Greene County is blessed to have this Greenedale Forest facility
