"I toured Brookdale Charlotte East. I love the apartment, and there was one apartment in particular. When I first entered, my vision of what it was was very different from what I saw when I entered the building. When I first entered the building, it appeared as if it might be a nursing home - a home where very, very senior people lived that needed a lot of care. But as I spoke with the young lady, Linda, we conversed, and she explained a lot of things to my daughter and me. And then she took us on a tour to look at some apartments. They were very nice. I really liked the apartments, which were one-bedroom and two-bedroom. I thought the price was a little bit high, particularly for the two-bedroom apartment, because it ran from $3,400 to $4,100. Brookdale was very nice. I would love to live there, but I would never be able to afford to live there, even when my finances are in order. Brookdale has beautiful campuses."

"Shads Landing was very pleasant. It was a great tour. It's a beautiful facility, and it might be a good consideration for my father. It was just a walk-around tour. The apartment we saw was lovely. The director was wonderful. Most residents were inside because of the pandemic. I toured it about ten years ago as well, and it was no different."

"There was nothing I didn't like about Ambriant at Avondale. Everything was great. It had a very nice movie theater, and the facility was just recently built. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very informative, very helpful, and accommodating."

"We visited Highpoint at Fort Mill. It was an open house so they had lots of food, which was good. It's a beautiful facility, very pretty. The apartments are very nice, but there's no outdoor space. We asked about walking on trails, and they said there's only a walking club and they walk on the sidewalks around the place. To be fair, it's only a year old. They're building across the street, probably stores and stuff like that, so the people who live there will be able to get out and shop on foot, and maybe they will have some outdoor spaces in the future. There was a tiny little two-chair thing out the front but it overlooks the parking lot. It just wasn't anything you wanted to do. I wouldn't be adverse to going back there and seeing it again, because the facilities and the apartments have this open feeling. The apartments were beautiful, very light and bright and I liked that. We saw independent living but they have graduated care if you need it. If you don't, you can spend the rest of your days in independent living. They also have cottages there which I think are not as pretty as the apartments, but I think there's hope for that in the future. I wouldn't go there now, but I would go back because it was pretty and bright. There was an outdoor patio where they had happy hours every night. They did not have a lot of activities yet. They have two movies a day, and the movie theater is beautiful. They had some exercise classes every morning, but I was looking for craft groups, book clubs, and discussion groups. I was looking for a community. That's very important as you get older. They had so much food. We only tasted a little bit but whatever we had was delicious. It looked wonderful and the people there looked happy. You pay one month's rent which is very reasonable. It's like an apartment that you pay month to month, which means if they don't fulfill their end of the bargain, you can just leave."

"We've chosen Traditions at Fort Mill. I liked their location and the size of their apartments. The staff was very professional, very helpful, and very polite. We're going into a two-bedroom apartment that's 1,400 square feet. They don't serve meals. They don't have a dining area. It's just a regular apartment for seniors over 55. It's for active people. They have a swimming pool and a bocce ball court."

"At Balmore at Ballantyne, you pay for your own electricity, but the water and trash are included with your rent. They have amenities like a community room and they have a fitness area. Other than that, you're pretty much on your own and in your apartment. I like that it's in my price range. The building is secure. I will get a card or something to scan. They have laundry facilities in the building. It's also close to a grocery store. So, I look forward to living there. The conversation I had with the staff was great. They sent me the application online. We filled it out that night and went the next day. I took that, plus everything else that I needed with me. I got on the list and once I'm approved, I got a unit. The unit I am getting is nice. It's not huge, but it's big enough for one person. It's brand new."

"We toured Brightmore of South Charlotte. Everything's contained in one building. I liked all the amenities it had. I liked the flexible dining plan they have. It's not a fixed amount, and you can use it when you want and you don't have to, so you have a lot of flexibility with the food plan, and I like that. The people there were very nice and accommodating. We met a lot of people there, so we felt very comfortable there. The staff was wonderful. We did dine there. I got a salad with grilled shrimp, and my husband got scallops. It was very good. The building was beautiful and well-maintained. They have a lot of flexible floor plans. I think you can choose whatever fits your needs."

"We were more interested in Sun City; they had just about everything. They have a golf course, indoor tennis, a big indoor gym, a big indoor swimming pool, and an outside pool as well. They have lakes where you can canoe or kayak, and they have bowling on the green. It was only 10 minutes from my daughter’s house. "

"Chambers Point at Ayrsley is a very friendly community and they have a very nice property manager. The process of moving my mom in was easy and it's very affordable. Their staff is wonderful. It is also very clean. The upkeep is wonderful and the grounds are beautiful. They have activities for the seniors, and they vary every week or every two weeks. They had a bingo night and painting. So, they are a really good community."

"It's a beautiful facility.  It has natural light, and it just seems very cheery.  I felt excited for my grandmother rather than depressed about sending her to Waltonwood Providence, and part of that was the way the place was structured.  There are different rooms for different activities, which is really nice.  The lady at the front desk and the woman who gave me the tour were really sweet.  They have bible study, a little hair salon, a courtyard, and a gardening room. The independent living is very similar to the assisted living, so when the time comes and she moves over to the assisted living part, it doesn't feel like a drastic difference.  A big thing for us was that there's a separate living room from the bedroom. "

"I liked The Cypress of Charlotte. It was a little more modern and the lady kind of explained all the activities better. They had an indoor pool. She also explained the meal plan and how that works and we liked the fact that it was a place that you purchased versus a rental. The facility was great. The unit that we saw was small, but they had some larger places (once they became available) that we thought would be good. Everything looked nice. It was a little newer. The lady was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the properties. She'd been there for several years. The other staff that we interacted with as we were doing the tour were nice."

"I chose to live at Highland Park Mill Senior Center because it was close to the doctor's offices and to everything else since it was in town. The facility is a good size and the rooms were decent in size as well. They got different activities like bingo on Thursday nights. There was no dining area since it was an independent living facility. The staff were very helpful and nice to us. It would be better if they lowered the rent. But I would still recommend others to stay here. "
