5 Best Independent Living Communities in Carolina, NC

We chose Home Place of Burlington because of the informative tour as well as the fact that my mother knew several residents there. These residents provided a great recommendation. I really like Eventus, the medical staff. They are very informative.

Abbotswood at Irving Park has been amazing. The location is very close to the hospitals and grocery stores and doctors offices. All of the staff have been so friendly and you get a great feeling when you walk in. I do think they could provide some more activities for the residents. The meals are amazing, they have a formal dining room and they have an extensive menu you are able to choose from and the quality of food is wonderful. They have been great to work with and we would definitely recommend the facility to others.

Great to have washers and dryers in each apartment. Don't expect anything great from the dining room. Activities that include bus outings for craft activities. Maybe an opportunity for painting a picture? My parent doesn't drink alcohol, and her impression is that a lot of events include alcohol, and she is helping to pay for that in her rent. All of the general social events are not her thing, but she enjoys substantial craft ideas . Food-a variety of fresh vegetables, less rice, potatoes and pasta. When she moved in, we were told that all vegetables are fresh, not canned. I've heard others complain about the food, and not because she/we were complaining. They just offered their opinion. Housekeeping services aren't consistently provided, even with agreed upon date/time. If they aren't going to show up for some reason, my parent is usually not notified. Even with all the negatives, it's probably as good or slightly better than other places in similar price range.
