When it comes to choosing assisted living or Memory Care for a parent or loved one, families want more than just care, they want peace of mind. They’re looking for a place where their loved one will be treated with dignity, surrounded by warmth, and given the chance to enjoy every day. That’s precisely why many families in Raeford and surrounding cities Hoke County North Carolina choose Integrity Open Arms Retirement Center. Open Arms isn’t just a facility; it’s a close-knit community where compassion and comfort come together. Here’s why families consistently place their trust in us:
1. Compassionate, Professional Staff
At the heart of Open Arms is a dedicated team of caregivers who treat each resident like family. Our caregivers take the time to get to know each person, what they enjoy, how they like things done for them, and what brings them comfort. Families often tell us they feel an immediate sense of relief after meeting our team. Whether it’s the warm welcome at the front door, the way we guide families through their transition process, or the attentive daily care they receive. Our promise to each resident, and to you, is that we’ll always serve from the heart. As one daughter shared after moving her mom in: “Everyone there is exceptional. My mom loves the food, the daily activities, and all the care your staff provides for her. I couldn’t ask for a better place.”
2. A Clean, Comfortable, and Secure Environment
Your loved one’s surroundings matter, and Open Arms is proud to offer a clean, well-maintained, and home-like setting. After all, this is home to those living here. Residents can enjoy their own private or semi-private room, with options to personalize their space to their liking. After all, it’s their home. So, whether you’re looking for standard Assisted Living or Memory Care, our promise is that there will always be a warm, welcoming environment where comfort and dignity come first.
Our Assisted Living area offers a safe environment and gives you peace of mind, knowing your loved one is supervised, while still allowing them the freedom to move about, socialize, and explore the beautifully landscaped grounds. Residents who are capable have the freedom to take a short walk down to the store too, a fun event they love doing.
In our Memory Care area, residents are provided with a secure and nurturing setting that ensures safety and closer supervision. We engage in conversation and music and encourage them to be as active as possible.
All residents receive daily housekeeping, linen service, and on-site laundry keep everything fresh and cared for. Open Arms is regulated by the Hoke County and the State of North Carolina and meets strict safety and regulatory standards, including regular inspections by the county and North Carolina Divisions of Health Services Regulations (DHSR)
3. Activities That Enrich Mind, Body, and Spirit
Keeping life vibrant is an essential part of our mission. That’s why our residents have access to a wide variety of engaging programs, from daily exercise and art classes to music, games, and live entertainment. Our residents take an active role in planning outings and events through regularly scheduled Resident Council meetings. They get to choose their destinations and activities that spark their interests. Whether they choose a local outing, a nice lunch or the botanical gardens, participation is greater when they are part of the planning process. We love to watch residents planning their monthly festive parties too, from the summer luaus to Trunk or Treat and many other themed gatherings. It warms our hearts to see the joy and connection they have working together planning fun events.
4. Personalized Care Plans for Every Resident
No two people are alike, and our approach to care reflects that. We work closely with families, physicians, and the residents themselves to develop customized care plans that meet individual needs while promoting independence. Our care services include:
- Assistance with bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Medication management
- 24/7 on-site staffing and emergency response
- Coordination with doctors and outside providers
- Nutritious meals tailored to dietary needs and snacks in between
Our goal is to support residents in living their best life, with as much or as little assistance as they need.
5. A Reputation Built on Trust
Open Arms Retirement Center has been serving the Hoke County community since 2002. As a locally owned and operated assisted living facility, we’re proud of our reputation for high-quality care, honesty, and transparency. Families appreciate that we’re always available to answer questions, provide updates, and include them in the care journey. We believe communication is key, and we never take a family’s trust for granted.
6. Affordability with Exceptional Value
We understand that cost plays a role in decision-making. That’s why we’re transparent with our pricing and offer room options to fit different budgets. Many families are surprised to learn how affordable quality assisted living can be, especially when compared to the rising cost of in-home care or skilled nursing. Best of all, our monthly rate includes meals, activities, housekeeping, and personal care, so families can better plan their finances without unexpected additional cost. You can take comfort knowing there are no surprise charges for levels of care.
