Testimonials
From Our Members
Our sales pitch is pretty simple: "You have a beautiful house … why would you ever want to leave?" The answers differ but the results are the same. Let some of our Members tell you why they made the smart decision to retire with us.
Savings
I was spending a lot maintaining a big house.
Sally Bost, SLC Member
“I became aware that I was spending a lot of money maintaining a big house for just me! I pay for somebody to do my yard, to clean, to do my taxes, utilities. I have to take care of everything. I don't want to anymore!”
We were looking for certainty of expenses.
Wayne Diehl, SLC Member
“In retirement, we were looking for certainty of expenses because in the past it seemed like every three months there was a huge bill for something to repair.”

Dining
It's just a very professional way of serving people.
Walter Conti, SLC Member
“It's just a very professional way of serving people. Going to a restaurant is so much more than the quality of the food. They do it very well here.”

Community
This is a retirement community. It's a new way of life.
Bob & Laura Fowler, SLC Member
“This is not some nursing home. This is a retirement community. It's a new way of life.”
It's the best of both worlds.
Martha Styers, SLC Member
“Now that I've made the move, I didn't expect to be this happy. There is plenty going on around me, but I can also be by myself in my home. It's the best of both worlds.”

Security
I have never felt so secure in an area as we do now.
Tom Turner, SLC Member
“I have never felt so secure in an area as we do now. It's a very nice thing to go to sleep feeling so secure. Living here gives me a freedom that I didn't have living three quarters of a mile away.”
.................................................
Maintenance
There's no more thought of maintenance.
Bill McAllister, SLC Member
“There's no more thought of maintenance. These people are very responsible about taking care if something goes wrong. It removes all the responsibilities that you might have had with a house.”

Wellness
The new Wake Forest program is just ideal!
Bob Bedingfield, SLC Member
“The new Wake Forest program is just ideal! It's not just a matter of them watching us. We're on the cutting edge of them assisting us so that we not only grow old gracefully but that we grow old healthily.”
The attitude is 180 degrees from what we have seen in the past.
Wayne Diehl, SLC Member
“The attitude is 180 degrees from what we have seen in the past. One thing that drives us crazy is when you go to a doctor and say you have a problem they say, 'Well that's just part of getting old. Just accept it!' That's not the attitude here. The attitude is, 'No, you can actually improve.'”
