4 Continuing Care Communities in Wilmington, North Carolina

Renee

My father-in-law is now in Lake Shore Commons. He has one of those ride-on scooters, and he loves getting around on that, and I like that he has plenty of room to move around. The price is really good and they're really friendly. They were able to help us get his payments to where they needed to be so he could be comfortable living there. He says that the food could be better but it is what it is. They have activities and he doesn't have to drive himself anywhere; and we like that it's convenient for us to get to him. Also, we like that people go in they screen for COVID symptoms. He seems to be making friends very quickly, his room is a nice size, and there's plenty of room for himself; it's a studio apartment. They have a billiard room, a hair salon, they have a chapel, he loves doing bible study, they have happy hour on Fridays, and they have trivia and games they play, which he really likes. He has cable TV that came with his room. He's got this life-guard system that he wears around his neck, and if he needs anything he can press the button and talk to them with what he needs, or if he's in trouble and needs help. The food is not as good as it should be.

Lake Shore Commons was very attractive and looked to be one of the considerations we would want for a complex of that kind. We had a wonderful meeting with one of the staff who was very good, and she called us back because we wanted to go back to look at the other facilities in the building. She showed us a two-bedroom cottage that was very attractive.

I toured Lake Shore Commons. I thought the staff was pleasant, but as soon as I stepped into the place, I was overwhelmed with how old the people were over there. We had a nice lunch, but the place was too old for us now. The staff was friendly, pleasant, and upbeat. It looked like it was well-taken care of. There were things that did not add to my expectations, like how everything in the kitchen was downsized, and the laundry room was little with tiny appliances.

Cambridge Village of Wilmington was very nice, clean, and maintained very well. The staff was very nice and cordial. I would recommend them because it was well kept up and the people were really nice.

Judith

Lake Shore Commons was very nice, and the staff was very nice, but it was too old for us. The food was very good, and they said they just got a new chef. The apartments were very nice from the models we saw, but it was way out of our range. It was very good for the people living there.
