The Best Independent Living Communities in Gaston County, NC

"I moved into Solista Charlotte by Cogir. What I like about it is that I have an independent apartment. It has a kitchen, so I can fix my meals if I want to, but meals are provided three times a day. They have exercise and activities, as well as mind-stimulating activities like a book club and speakers who come in. It's well balanced in terms of life, and then they can belong to different games like bridge. There are some other games that people like to play, like checkers and chess, and they have a courtyard."

"My Mom was here for over a year - I could not be more thankful to the amazing staff!!! It was a happy place to visit - there were always so many activities. Due to my Mom's condition she was not able to participate, but the staff at Better at Home took excellent care of her!!! Bayada was also outstanding with their care!!! Happy to highly recommend!!!"

"Our tour experience at Chandler Place Independent Living was excellent. We were there twice. One was during their preparation of meals and so we were able to have lunch there and it was excellent. The care that was taken with those who live there, the facilities themselves, the security, and the sociability that goes on at the property were everything that we were looking for. The facilities were top-notch and I liked the manager. She answered all of our questions and was not trying to hide anything."

"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."

"The people at Brookdale Charlotte East were very nice. My mother was in their independent living, but she didn't want to stay there. It's great. They're just like any other senior living facility. The people were nice and thoughtful, and they took care of her. The only thing is that they allow animals, and she didn't like animals. So that was the biggest issue for her. Her room was good. She had a full bedroom bath. She had a kitchenette which had a stove, a refrigerator, even though she couldn't use it, and a microwave. She had a dining area and a living room. They offer food. They have programs there every day, and different levels of things that they have people participate in. They have transportation. They take them on trips. They take them out dining and different things like that. I've tried the food when she first moved in. I think she was in there three or four years, and it was good. Its cost wasn't as much as it is now."

"My father moved to Providence Meadows Gracious Retirement Living. We chose that for him because I felt like I was walking into a resort. He has a one bedroom, a separate living room, an outdoor porch off his living room, a kitchenette area, ample closet space (three closets), and a huge bathroom. They have so many programs such as outings. The dining room is just absolutely gorgeous. They have a library, a theater, a chapel, a workout room, and gardens everywhere. There are all kinds of games and all kinds of different activities. The food is very good. I can eat for free in the dining room with my father. The facility is extremely clean. It's almost like walking through a museum at times with just the incredible artwork and everything. You get more bang for your buck there. When you consider everything, especially the type of unit that my father is in (he's not in a studio, he's in a one-bedroom), we're paying a little extra for him to have that one-bedroom, but we want to do that and I think it's well worth the money."

"Holiday Willow Grove was beautiful inside. The folks there were great. They're very welcoming. If we could put it together, my brother would have been there right now. I looked at two efficiency rooms, and they were very nice and very roomy to be efficiency rooms. This place was extremely nice. The outside was extremely nice and well-kept. I would like to live there myself."

"I will move into Inspire Royal Park. It's a top-rated facility. I like the community, where it's located, and the staff is very nice. Their rooms were very nice. It was great. They have everything I would be looking for."

"I moved into Greenway Square Retirement Community. The staff was good and nice. My apartment has a very nice kitchen, which I don't use. I go down and eat. That's one thing I've enjoyed doing and not having to cook. I have a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. And we have a washer and dryer. We've got everything I need. They provide meals three times a day. I don't do the mornings, so I can't tell you anything about that. They have it too early for me, but I go to lunch and, supper. They've got a fitness center. They got a movie theater, well it's a theater and it's like the inside of a theater, but it's used for other things, too. But mainly it's theater and movies. And, we have a lounge called All Purpose Room that has games, and then the fitness center has got real big, and then they take care of some activities that they have in there. We're trying to get a choir started, which I've gone to. And that's really what I do myself and the happy hour, as they call it, a social. We had entertainment today. We've had that quite often and I enjoyed that. They have transportation that will take you to doctor's appointments."

"I have chosen River Rock at Dallas because it is a brand-new construction. And they have everything I need like a walk-in shower, a garage, wooden floors, and a patio. It's also one level. The rooms are very nice sized. There's a very nice community area. The landscape is nice."

"My stepdad was recently in Stanley Total Living Center for about a month. It was a wonderful place. The room was small, but other than that, it was good. "

"Great place to live. Lots of activities and close to restaurants and shopping. The entrance and the back of apartments could use some upgrades, however the new manager (Jan) is making every effort to get this done. Jan is definitely an uplifting figure at this community. The longer she is here, the better it will get. Andre is our maintenance person and is efficient and very attentive to resident needs. I hope to be living here for a very long time."
