I chose the community due to close to my home and the staff was welcoming. The cost was reasonable for my Dads needs now and in the future along with the cleanness.
It is as advertised. An independent place to live. People are nice and more than helpful. The place is located near recreation, food, medical, transportation and entertainment facilities. Plus there are numerous churches in the area.
From the tour to move-in, a totally positive experience for my 85-year-old parents. VERY friendly residents, lots of activities, beautiful and spacious apartments, the biggest in Charlotte for an independent living place! My parents are VERY happy here and say they are 'too busy'!
