Terrible! As soon as you walk in the door it reeks of human waste, and the floors and walls were absolutely disgusting! Staff was very very rude and halls were bombarded with residents. Residents rooms were disgusting, and since they’re not able to clean them themselves, the staff should do something about it! Also AC was broke during 100 degree weather! It was burning. Overall just a horrible place to put the people you love, please do not send them here!!!!

I had a wonderful experience at Mt. Olive Center in Mt. Olive, NC. The staff were kind, professional, and truly attentive to the needs of residents and visitors. The facility was clean, well-maintained, and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made me feel comfortable and confident in the care being provided. I especially appreciated the patience and compassion shown by the team — they go above and beyond to ensure everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Communication was clear, and any questions or concerns were handled quickly and thoughtfully. I would absolutely recommend Mt. Olive Center to anyone looking for a supportive, caring, and well-run environment for themselves or their loved ones.

Tina Brewer is the most helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient employee at this Center. She was always happy to help me with any questions or requests when my family member was at the facility. What truly sets her apart is her dedication. She anticipates needs, follows up diligently, and advocates wholeheartedly for the residents. Her compassion, professionalism, and commitment to quality care make a meaningful difference everyday! Our family is deeply grateful for her support and the positive impact she has had on our experience.

My very close friend has been at Genesis for most of this year. I've found the facility and its staff to be kind, considerate and helpful to its patients and their friends and relatives. The dedicated staff have always been attentive to my friend's needs, be they daily and routine, or more specialized such as with different types of therapy. It has been a very good environment for him, and I highly recommend this Skilled Nursing Facility for those who would benefit from its dedicated quality of care.
