The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Lincoln County, NC

"My mom went to Abernethy Laurels for rehab for four weeks. It was very nice. Everything about it was great except for the food. My mom did not like the food. The staff members were wonderful. The dining area was nice. They had a full range of activities. They had chapel, too. The room was good. Medicare paid it."

"The Pines is not cheap. There is a waiting list. Residents commit large sums far in advance of retirement to secure their spots there. The facility is far above average in terms of staff, cleanliness, amenities, etc. (We used to refer to the place as a "stationary cruise ship".) Healthy residents have small areas in which to garden. There are frequent planned activities. There are walking trails. Buses take residents to grocery stores, exercise facilities, concerts, church, etc. There is a bank and postal service housed within the main building. The medical wing is a little less glorious. As most do, it smells pretty bad. It's not pleasantly lit. The level of care, however, is good. The dining service for healthy residents leaves a fair amount to be desired. Canned vegetables are routine. Overcooked, sugary food is common. Choices are presented each meal, however, and dining is seated w/service. "
