    Beautiful campus but inconsistent care

    I love the beautiful, country-club style campus - resort amenities, great meals, active daily programming, on-site physicians/nursing and memory care made my dad comfortable and social. Many staff were warm, compassionate and competent, and apartment-style, maintenance-free living with gardens, pool and weekly cleaning felt like a true community. That said, chronic understaffing, high turnover/agency aides and poor communication produced inconsistent care (missed meds, delayed responses, occasional neglected needs and emergency trips), plus frustrating billing and administrative issues. Overall: exceptional facility and amenities, but weigh the high cost against recurring staffing/continuity and management problems before committing.

    About The Davis Community

    The Davis Community sits in Wilmington, North Carolina, and offers a range of services for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. The campus has The Residences with eleven apartment-style units and The Cottages with two cottage-style units, each coming with living areas, kitchens, dining spaces, walk-in dressing rooms connected to private bathrooms, and modern appliances. Residents here get home repair services, housekeeping, and utilities like property taxes and cable TV included in monthly rent, and the place is covered by 24-hour security and emergency response systems. There's a licensed memory care spot called Champions Assisted Living and a skilled nursing facility with over 195 beds, including private and semiprivate rooms, and a specialized Alzheimer's disease unit with more than 40 beds. A household coordinator runs the skilled nursing model. The Davis Community gives access to a team of thirty physical, occupational, and speech therapists, providing both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, plus nursing care from 24-hour licensed professionals and dietitians who manage meals and snacks daily in the main dining room.

    The Davis Community is a non-profit linked with the Cape Fear Council of Governments and offers healthcare services across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation. Folks can get pharmacy help, quarterly dental, vision, and hearing visits, and there's a beauty salon and gift shop in-house. People living here also have a laundry service, mental health care, and a social services department for daily needs. The Rehabilitation & Wellness Pavilion holds 20 private rooms for short-term rehabilitation. For daily life, seniors will find field trips every week, church services in the chapel, arts and culture programs, and events at the Magnolia Event Center. Fitness is covered with a wellness center using the latest equipment, a warm saltwater pool, a health club for those over 55, and pickleball courts. Dining happens within the campus gates, and there's transportation-both parking and rides are complimentary.

    Homes are rentals, either apartments or cottages, and there's a priority waitlist for independent living. The Connections membership program gives wellness visits, remote monitoring, nutrition guidance, and home repair referrals. Residents in nearby Porters Neck and Landfall neighborhoods can also get home care services. The campus includes a Health Care Center, Champions Assisted Living, the Rehabilitation & Wellness Pavilion, The Cottages, The Residences for Independent Living, and a Davis Health and Wellness site at Cambridge Village. Amenities also feature a spa, cable TV, activities for socializing, and plenty of property spaces for fitness and culture. The community runs on a model that supports active, social, and engaged retirement with plenty of safety features and support. The administrator is Melissa McAdams-Welsh. Directions and further details can be found online.
