Independent Living Communities in Cary, NC

"I went to see Brier Pointe Retirement Community and toured the place for independent living, and it was a very positive visit. I was with a friend and the person who took me through showed us everything around. We went through a model room that was furnished, and then we also went through one that was unfurnished. Quite frankly, anything I see after that will have to meet their standards because right now, they are number one for me. I have no negative thing to say about them at all. They have on-site physical therapy and a physical therapist on duty. They have a 24-hour manager and a concierge service. All of my doctors are in Chapel Hill, and when I'm no longer able to drive or feel comfortable driving, their transportation would take me there. Everything they had was a plus. They're pet-friendly, and there's no extra fee for a pet. They offer three meals a day, and they have a 24-hour chef kitchen and pantry where they have salads and sandwiches that are already prepared. It also has juices, soft drinks, and things you can just go by and pick up. I also like that they are not plated meals; it's a buffet. They have two soups a day that they change constantly. They post outside the dining area the activities for the day as well as the menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their theater is very plush and nice, and they have movies there. They also bring in live entertainment. Today is when they're having a Kenny Rogers impersonator. Their calendar is very full. They have a large craft area that includes sewing machines and places where you could do quilting and that kind of thing. They have a separate library, too. All of their amenities were just very nice. I like that they don't use a lock and key but a keypad. The only key is from the manager. You have a choice of a bracelet or a necklace for a Life Alert system. They have a full-size washer and dryer in all the units. They have weekly housekeeping that includes changing the sheets. All of that is inclusive, and there's no tipping allowed, which I like."

"My parents have been living at IVR for almost two years! The apartment is huge! The building is bright and updated. I like the vintage feel it's also kept. The staff is helpful and kind, and they communicate well with the families. The PT/OT staff are great! The aide service Colin’s team provides is amazing and Colin and Mag’s are great at communicating with the family. Food could be better, less salt and fried foods. Buts the location is fantastic! Its about the kindness and communication that's so important when choosing a home for a love one."

"Capital Oaks was great. They even have a Koi pond inside. I really liked it. The apartments he showed me were really nice and big. Brett was very knowledgeable, explaining things very well. I liked him. I also met Rachel and Stephanie in the dining hall. Everybody just seemed nice and friendly. The food was great. They had pork potato soup and it was delicious. It was on top of my list."

"I plan on staying here at The Meadows at Brier Creek. I love my 2-bedroom apartment. I love the area. I love being able to walk and I love my neighbors. I like that there's a washer and dryer in each unit. They have a community room and they have a room where they have gym equipment. They do bingo twice a week, and then they have a community lunch for each season. The lobby is decorated with nice furniture, and the sitting area is all over the whole floor."

"We toured The Cambridge at Brier Creek. The people were lovely. We went there on a lunch invitation that we received in the mail. I liked the whole facility. Also, something that I liked is they have a parking deck. You get out of your car in a parking deck, then go into the building and take an elevator up and down to your unit. The upkeep was very nice. The food was good, and they talked to us about how they changed and updated the menu. They had certain things on the menu all the time, and the dining area is beautiful."

"Whispering Pines Gracious Retirement Living was nice. Everything is included in one price. The food's very nice. The staff was also very nice. They gave me a proper tour and I enjoyed it. They had one bedroom, two bedrooms, and studios. They had quite a number of activities and of course, they all had gyms. They take some trips if you want to go to close facilities like grocery stores."

"The staff at Abbotswood at Stonehenge seemed like they care. The ones that I talked to seemed to have a passion for caring for their people. They had long-term employees and they recognized them with pictures on the walls and stuff. It was clean and it looked like they had some good activities."

"I visited Brookdale North Raleigh. I tasted their food, and it was a 5. Everything was a five. The staff was excellent. The front desk was excellent. They have a very nice structure and a very nice outside area. We spoke to several residents, and they were very happy. They were one of the best ones."

"I recently visited my aunt and was impressed by the warm and welcoming environment. The staff were friendly and attentive, and it was clear that the residents were happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Atria Southpoint."

"I will be moving into Atria Oakridge. It's friendly and clean. They provide meals and they clean your apartment. The bedrooms are a little small, but they have a den, and the apartment I was looking at had a screened-in porch you could go out on and sit and enjoy the fresh air. I liked that about it. They have activities. They have video bowling, poker night, and other social events. All the staff I have met are very friendly and I met some of the residents and developed a friendship with one person. He's friendly and we talked a lot. They're the best place I looked at and I looked at several places."

"I've been here 4 months, made good friends and love the active activities. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I am really enjoying my time here. I'm close to two of my sons and see them often."

"I am living in a new facility called Inspire Briar Chapel. It's beautiful inside. I saw the model room, and I immediately liked what I saw. My interaction with the staff is wonderful. They're very friendly, warm, and very informative. The residents that I've seen so far are very friendly, too. They have made me feel welcome. I'm in a one-bedroom apartment. It has a full kitchen. It's like 925 square feet. They also have different floor plans to offer, but I'm not sure if it's one- or two-bedrooms. There are all kinds of activities and amenities. There's a saltwater pool in the middle. The staff is excellent. They don't serve meals every day. Once in a while, we can have breakfast. Every so often, they'll have some food. Like this afternoon at 2:00, they'll have some kind of a spread. I've read through the schedule of activities, and it's a busy schedule. They're also reasonable compared to other places. This is a lot cheaper. It is a new facility, it's not an old one that has been revamped, so the value for money is excellent."

"I visited Holiday Durham Regent, and I liked the options that they have. It's kind of like an apartment complex with one-level cottages right across their main building. You have an option to have your own home that is fully equipped with a kitchen, washer and dryer, and a refrigerator. It has everything that you would want in your home. It has a living area, two bedrooms, two baths, and large closets. They also have a similar setup right in the main building where you don't have a washer and dryer but they can do your laundry for free, and a kitchenette type of thing, but without a stove or anything that is flammable. The staff was nice, very kind, and had a great attitude"
