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

"The one I liked the most was the Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. Eva, the girl that showed us around, was so nice and wanted to try to fit the place to us, as to what we're looking for. It's a large place, and it covers all types of care. You can go in as an independent, and then if you need help, you can switch over and get assisted living right in the same place. Then, if you need memory care, they also have that available. That appealed to me because as you get older, you change, and I wouldn't want to move again. It had everything you could want. They have at least three meals a day, and on Sunday, they give you brunch. I didn't taste their food. I was invited back to taste it, but I never got back because of my fall. They were generous-sized and well-appointed rooms. They had a full kitchen with a stove, a microwave, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. It had everything. It was spotless and very well done."

"My mother has been resident of The Blake at Baxter Village since March 2023. After recovery from a surgery, the family realized that due to cognitive decline, that she could no longer care for herself in her condo in New York. After doing some research into home health assistance or facilities in NY we decided to move her closer to family in South Carolina. After one tour of The Blake, I was confident that the location, apartment layout and services would be a good fit. The staff who work directly with residents from the dining room servers, Med Techs and Personal Assistants are all amazing! There is a wide range of social activities available, from group exercise classes, coveted BINGO and my mother’s favorite “social hour on Wednesdays”. They go on shopping trips, partake in local Baxter events and go visit many of the fun places in York County like orchards and parks."

"I met the marketing person of Aldersgate; she was very nice, very thorough, and answered my questions, so it was a good tour. They have all levels of care. The apartments are very nice, very spacious, and the grounds are beautiful. I've been there many times, I like that they have an indoor pool, and I saw them do water aerobics. The apartments are very nice, very spacious, and the grounds are beautiful. I've also been into their memory care while doing some volunteer things. That's also very nice."

"The Sharon at SouthPark was very nice. I visited a friend there. I like the cleanliness, the residents' suites, the activities that they have for the residents, and the community areas. Everyone is very nice and very helpful. As we were trying to locate my friend, they were very nice. Everyone knew each other. They were polite in the halls. In the community areas, they all talked and spoke and offered good cordials. I haven't heard any complaints about the food from my friend, and they have amenities, too. They have an art class, there's a dance, there's church services, and there's a library as well. I'm pretty sure they have so much more because I think there are activities every day. It's very nice and maybe it is worth the money, but it's too much. They offer a lot, but I just wish the cost of these facilities could be a little bit more affordable for people who don't have all of the means to take care of their loved ones. However, it is a very cozy and very homey atmosphere, and I think the residents all enjoy it and enjoy each other."

"We found Carmel Hills for Mom. It has been a very good experience, primarily because I am now close enough to visit her every day. They are able, with the hoyer lift, to get her out of bed and into a geri chair, so she isn't just lying around the bed all day. They have worked with us to try to figure out what is best suited for her in this setting and this situation. We've needed to puree her food, and they're willing to work with us. I've been very pleased. She seems to be settling in and the staff has worked hard to try to learn how to pronounce her name, so she can respond to the correct pronunciation, and I appreciate that. Carmel Hills is an older facility, and the part of the facility that she's currently in is more of the hospital style facility with a nurse's desk. There are three halls that are pretty short, and they don't have a lot of people there. She has a roommate, and her room looks somewhat like a hospital room, but they have a bathroom to themselves. You can decorate it, and I've been really impressed with how some people have decorated theirs. She moved from memory care to this facility, which is not all memory care, but it is for people who need 24/7 care, so it's still a locked facility. She has to have assistance with everything. There's a number of people in the facility who are still ambulatory and active, and so I will see them in the gathering room, and they're doing some activities. The activity person actually goes into Mom's room and sets aside time to try to engage her to do some hand exercises. Mom is in the end stages of Alzheimer's, and sometimes she is nonresponsive at all, and that person always plays music to Mom. They work so hard to try to figure out what will work for her. I've fed her a number of times myself and the food looked pretty good to me. They're in the process of renovating right now. I have seen her engage with the rest of the community. The pricing compared to others is very good. We could not have put her in the place if they did not have the current price that they have. Compared to everybody else in the community, they're at least $3,000 cheaper."
