The Best Independent Living Communities in Guilford County, NC

"Cedar Ridge appeared to be very nice and clean, and the staff was very accommodating. The rooms were clean but on the small side. The residents were fine; they had their routines and were busy."

"My in-laws already moved in at Arbor Ridge and are settled and doing well. It's four years old, new, and has about 70 people who are all friendly. It's a nice, clean, and pretty place. The apartment is a two-bedroom with a small kitchen and a fair-sized, good living room. The residents exercise and go places. They have a full calendar of activities. The staff are always available, and residents always wear an alert button; if help is needed, they can call, and if they miss a meal, staff can call and check on them. There is assistance available if you wanted to pay extra but it's not considered an assistance living facility but a retirement community. The only thing I think they are missing is a porch. They have a big screened-in porch in the back, but I'd want my own little porch. "

"My visit with Independence Village was positive. It was a beautiful facility. The whole place was nice. Everybody was nice. They do have activities there. I tried their food and it was good. Their dining room was beautiful. Everything was positive. The only problem was that it was too expensive for me. However, I would recommend this place. "

"Creekside Terrace was a very nice place. They said dogs were accepted there, which I did not know about; I have an allergy to dogs, and I didn't know if would be able to go in because it could make my allergy worse. One thing I noticed is that they have exercise equipment, which is very vital to what I need because I need to be exercising daily. I would recommend it. It was a good place. I had lunch there. They had a good cook, so there was good food options to choose from. "

"Harmony at Brookberry Farm gave us a good tour. It had wide halls, and they had beautiful places where you could sit. They didn't have a lot of residents since it's still pretty new. When we were there, everybody was sitting in a wheelchairs and watching TV. Everybody was asleep."

"Whitestone has come a long way. They have upgraded from just a place to go and die for old folks to a really congenial community. They have expanded tremendously. They have spent money to upgrade and remodel and make the community bright and cheery. They have anything from a one-bedroom apartment up to a three-bedroom house. They have a pool, a barbershop, and a gym, so that you wouldn't have to leave the grounds if you didn't want to. They also have a Men's Bridge Club, where you can get together. We had been hosted by some of the sales staff when we went there. We had been invited several times for musicals. Best of all, we have friends and a great aunt who live there. I would say it was a 4 all the way down the line. The only thing I saw that I didn't like is that they require you to pay for around 35 meals a month. "

"Friends Homes seamed to be a very delightful place to spend the golden years. Parking was very easy and convenient and located very close the building with lots of ways to enter provided you knew the security code. The walls are painted a nice shade of peach throughout most of the facility. The dining room is very nice with wooden tables and high backed chairs that roll over a thinly carpeted area. Employees seamed to be very nice and helpful when we ate in the dining room for lunch. Hallway's were very wide; wide enough for the residents to stroll amongst at their own passe. Doors to the resident's personal rooms were very homey with flowers outside their doors and sayings hung on the walls. Residents seemed very happy and staff very welcoming. Bathroom's were very nice and well kept up, fresh toilet paper, clean stalls, and very clean sinks. Was a bit warm throughout the facility but I would imagine the residents like it better that way.

"My mom just moved to the skilled nursing part of Well-Spring, A Life Plan Community. Before that, she was in assisted living. It's a five-star facility with wonderful staff. It's beautiful and they serve wonderful food. They do a whole lot of activities. They have bingo, music, trivia games, ice cream socials every week, cookies and tea days a couple of times a week, happy hour with red and white wine once a week, movie days where they have popcorn, bridge playing, walks, and outside trips to grocery stores on their own shuttle bus. They also have a theater at the facility where you can come to watch performances such as Broadway series, a pool for water aerobics, Zumba, and other exercise classes."

"The price at The Carillon was good, but the rooms were just small and they did not have much in terms of amenities. They did not have physical therapy, which is what I needed. The staff were all very pleasant and very professional though. The building was newer and so it's well-maintained."

"My father moved into Abbotswood at Irving Park. The facility was very clean when I went in. You didn't smell the urine smell that you smell in a lot of places. The nurse-to-patient ratio was very low. There are only about 15 or 25 people in a group, so my dad gets more attention. They give us a calendar for every month of the activities that they do. They have sing-alongs, movie theme days, and bingo. My dad's room is nice. He's in a room by himself with a nice, large bathroom, and a large area for furniture. He has enough space for a bed, a couch, a recliner, a table, and a dresser. So it's a pretty nice-sized room. Since he's been there, he's been eating pretty well. The staff that I've met and talked with are very, very nice. They seem to be very patient with him and work well with him. It's a little bit more expensive than I would have liked, but for what I'm paying for it, it's worth it."
