From the moment we walked into Liberty Commons of Johnston County, we felt welcomed. The facility is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and has such a warm, positive atmosphere. You can truly feel the compassion and teamwork throughout the building. If I could I would give them 10 stars!!!!!! The admissions process was explained thoroughly, and every question we had was answered with patience and kindness. Haley was incredibly compassionate and caring, taking the time to walk us through every step of the process and making sure we understood what to expect. Finding placement for a loved one can be emotional and overwhelming, but she made us feel like we weren’t alone. The community is incredibly fortunate to have a facility like Liberty Commons!!! From the administrative team, to the clinical staff, therapy department, dietary staff, housekeeping, maintenance, and every other department that helps keep the building running, it’s clear that everyone takes pride in what they do and they genuinely care about the residents and their families. I would highly recommend Liberty Commons of Johnston County to anyone seeking rehabilitation or long-term care for a loved one. The cleanliness, caring staff, welcoming environment, and exceptional teamwork truly set this facility apart!!!

My Mother-in-law has been at this location twice. The administration all the way down to all the staff has been excellent. They took care of my Mother-in-Law so well that when it was time to leave, she wanted to stay. This place was very clean and there was no odor that you would normally smell. Thank you for the great job and especially the care each and everyone had shown my Mother-in-Law. They are truly special people. Thank you all

I was here previously and the care and treatment were really good. I was sent to unc Johnston for 3 weeks due to an intestinal issue and upon my return I was placed in a semi private room which I found out was due to my insurance, I’m ok with that but what I’m not okay with is the difference in treatment and management ignoring my concerns medical and personal treatment. The male nurse supervisor on the weekend not letting me speak but it’s perfectly fine for him to raise his voice to me, but I’m not allowed, or the dr who completely ignores my back pain. Or when you want to use the restroom which requires assistance and you have to wait until the empty lunch trays are collected, it’s great to know you rate right under empty lunch trays. Can’t recommend

This nursing facility is top-of-the-line my mother Rosa been there. The nurse and the staff and Everybody is very professional. I feel very comfortable knowing that my mother‘s there in great hands. When it comes to cleanness, its 100% facility is clean. Bathrooms are clean. Don’t have to worry about my mother. Tammy Watkins is very Professional and is on top of everything.She runs the nursing home like a fine oil machine. My opinion they are the best nursing home in the Carolinas . I recommend family and friends to put their loved ones in there.

My loved one recently came home after a extended stay in rehab at Liberty, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without the help of Jackie Social Director, Kristy admissions, Jessica admissions, and the incredible CNAs and nurses on the rehab halls. They cared for my family member with so much kindness, patience, and consistency, and they often helped with things that weren’t even their responsibility. Their support made a very hard time feel manageable. I also want to mention Darren from dietary. He was always so courteous, and the food was genuinely very good. It made a big difference for my loved one’s comfort and recovery. I do wish there was stronger administrative support from the leadership team. The Director of Nursing, Tamni, the Assistant Nursing, Bianca, and the Administrator, Janet, were often not present or available, which was disappointing to see given how much the floor staff carry every day. The frontline team truly held everything together, and I’m deeply grateful for them.
