Carolina Living Choices

Carolina Living Choices Welcome to Carolina Living Choices, your guide to the best retirement housing and lifestyles in Western North Carolina.

Proudly serving the region, we help you find your perfect community, from serene mountain retreats to vibrant active adult living. Whether you are just getting ready to retire to an active lifestyle, a senior searching for assisted living options, or a family member helping a loved one, there are plenty of choices. Understanding your options is the first step on your search. Lifestyle, location, c

omfort, and amenities are vital when choosing an active adult community, independent retirement community, senior living or assisted living community. Active Adult Residential Communities
You may be seeking a single-family home, condominium, villa or patio home. These active adult communities offer amenities that may include fitness/wellness centers, parks and trails, golf, swimming, tennis, as well as recreational, educational, cultural and social programs. Real estate options which target the active adult is often designed with single-floor living or master bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. Home exteriors normally require very little or no maintenance; yard maintenance is often included in the resident's monthly association fee. These active adult communities are often conveniently located so that you can enjoy nearby cultural and recreational venues, fine dining and shopping, and premier medical care. So whether it’s a day on the golf course, meeting friends for lunch, shopping for your grandchildren, or having a quick check-up, convenience is yours. Retirement Communities
Retirement or independent living communities with amenities are another option. These adult lifestyle communities typically only allow residents aged 65 years or older; they include homes or apartments offering relatively maintenance-free living with many amenities such as such as transportation, dining, housekeeping, easy-access to health care, and activities to fit your active lifestyle. In addition, you’ll enjoy nearby natural and cultural attractions, social groups catering to specific interests, outdoor common grounds, exercise centers, and nearby dining and shopping. Independent living retirement communities are designed for older adults who can generally care for themselves; some of these offer a continuum of care through their designation as a Continuing Care Retirement Communities or LifeCare Community.

This is a great pick me up article about living out a dream! Thanks Abernethy Laurels - Retirement Community in North Carolina for helping to make it happen!

A Dream Come True for Martha!

If you’ve ever met Martha, you know she’s the heart of our Assisted Living community at Abernethy Laurels—always smiling, always helping, and always surrounded by friends.

Recently, Martha shared how much she missed being out on Lake Hickory, feeling the breeze in her hair and the sun on her face. Thanks to the Grant A Dream™ program and a thoughtful nomination from our very own Emily Mathis, that dream is about to come true!

Martha had the opportunity to set sail once again, joined by her friends and guided by two amazing captains from our team. With two pontoons generously donated by Dan at Lake Hickory Pub & Marina, a cooler full of refreshments, and a lakeside lunch to follow, this day will be unforgettable.

Because at Abernethy Laurels, we believe it’s never too late to make new memories.
