Recent reviews of Independent Living in Butner, NC
Brier Pointe Retirement Community in Morrisville, NC
5.0

We attended an information seminar and we were intrigued by the presentation and eventually became the second couple to move into Brier Pointe when it opened. We were drawn into the community by the promise of all-inclusive services to include meals, housekeeping, paid utilities, transportation services, social activities & events. We have not been disappointed at all. In fact, we've met so many new friends and my husband has received a new lease on life. He was introduced to Chinese brush painting, and this is his new passion. He has painted 45 pieces in 14 months and has even been offered up to $200 for some of his work.

Holiday Emerald Pond in Durham, NC
4.3

[name removed] and the entire staff at Emerald Pond genuinely care about the residents. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a community for their parents. My Mom likes it there.

Overture Cary in Morrisville, NC
4.5

This is a good facility but it is strictly independent living. There are activities such as games and outings if you are able to move freely. It depends on what you need. The Overture is nice but there are times when I would like to have a prepared meal once a day. Also it would be nice to have someone on call at night. Since my husband died a year ago, I find myself needing someone to call on. Other places I have looked at are higher in cost.
