5 Best Independent Living Communities in Mount Mourne, NC

The residents and staff are generally very friendly. The food is good. The housekeeping staff is poorly trained and managed. The dining room staff are good and very helpful to residents. The chef won 2nd place for his entrée in the "Chef Wars" against 5 other facilities. The smaller size means you get to know almost everyone. They have an "ambassador " program in which every new resident is assigned an ambassador, or mentor, to help them navigate during their first few days here, with weekly follow-ups for several weeks.

The Oak Park Retirement community is a tremendous facility! The staff members that work there as well as the therapists are absolutely incredible. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families!

My life was rather chaotic when I first visited Trinity Oaks apartments. My husband had Alzheimer's disease, and I was needing help. Through a series of circumstances, he was admitted to the memory unit, a part of Trinity Oaks continuing care sections. I wanted to be near him to visit, so I committed to a 1-bedroom apartment. After he passed away, I realized that this was the place for me to stay. I had no major responsibilities, a pleasant apartment, kind and loving friends, compassionate staff members, plus 2 meals a day provided for me!! There were and are numerous activities to choose from, opportunities for trips, a library filled with books and puzzles, programs with speakers, a pool and gym, and housekeeping and maintenance service. Most of all, I think I and my children feel thankful that I am safe and have access to help if needed. There are many residents in their 90s here who look much younger. I wonder if it's because they have found a "safe landing place" too.
