Independent Living Communities in Wilmington, NC

"The Woods at Holly Tree was a very nice place. It was clean and had a lot of activities for the residents. "

"I looked online, and then I set up a tour. I went down there and looked, and I liked it. As for the rooms, you get a choice of all different sizes and all different places. The staff was absolutely wonderful. I was able to try the food, and it was good. The whole month of January was slamming with something to do. They have a chapel and exercise room. They have bingo and a pool table. They even have planned activities for going out to different places in the area. I really liked how peaceful it felt."

"My mom has been in independent living at Cambridge Village of Wilmington for three years now. Her overall experience here has been very good. The community offers a lot of amenities, and you could take part in all of them. There's something here for everybody. Her room is beautiful. It's a very large one-bedroom with a balcony. For the most part, the pandemic has put a strain on everything. Maintenance maybe is not as quick as it used to be or housekeeping. It's just because of hiring and people being available for the jobs, but I wouldn't blame on Cambridge Village. I think everything is suffering from that. When I've eaten there, I've had a good experience. Sometimes, the food isn't served as hot as it could be or it's a little too salty or spicy. It's an aging community, so it might be too much for them, but they try. They are willing to listen and make adjustments. They have an indoor pool, everyday constant activities, games, bingo, they have a bus that will take them to the store or the beach, or they'll have social nights out. There's a lot. The calendar is full. You could go from morning till night. They have a movie theater and religious services. You can partake in a lot here. The staff members are all very nice. They're stressed a little bit sometimes and understaffed a little bit sometimes, but that's just the current situation right now. They're trying their best. It's quite expensive here."

"Arbor Landing at Compass Pointe was a beautiful and brand-new facility. They have a very large apartment. It's very impressive. The dining area was substantial and it felt like an upscale hotel. I had nothing negative to say about it. It's just the price. It was out of our budget. Libby was the one that gave us the tour and she was great. She knew all the residents' names as they passed by. They were very social and very kind."

"Arbor Landing at Hampstead was wonderful and had a wonderful staff. It was rather expensive and they had no pool and we do cardio in a pool, so that was one of our requisites. They have cards, the usual board games, and a lovely dining room. They have a studio, 1- and 2-bedrooms, and they're gorgeous. The studio was just very tiny. The 1-bedroom was lovely, had a great size closet, and the bathrooms were senior-operated. All these things were great and beautiful. The greetings were always there, and you weren't ignored. When we got there, they were having lunch, and it was lovely the way it was served and was presented. The staff also interacted with the people, which was nice."
