Recent reviews of Independent Living in Burke County, NC
Marjorie McCune Memorial Center in Black Mountain, NC
4.0

My brother did not have a good experience in his stay at this community. They had him in one room when he moved in and then they changed his room the next day. When I inquired as to why they said they try to have them with a roommate they are compatible with. When they moved him into the new room he did not get along with his roommate and due to issues with him and the staff not assisting he is no longer living at this community.

Trinity View Retirement Community in Arden, NC
4.8

I am glad I am here at Trinity View. They are able to provide the care that my loved one needs and I am close by to see them. The staff are very helpful to work with if I have questions or concerns. The meals are usually good. Some of the activities available are music, theater, church service, trips in town, and more for the residents to choose from.
