Taylor Glen sits on 122 acres of rolling hills and woods in Concord, offering a quiet setting with a pond, gazebo, brick fountain, and peaceful paths where people can look out at nature or sit for a while, and you'll notice right away how the covered portico at the entrance feels welcoming, especially if you come on a rainy day and see the fountain bubbling away. The facility gives choices in living space, so you have the one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, the new villa-style apartments with open layouts and modern touches, and cottage homes, including new ones planned for the coming years, and all these places come with cozy furniture, natural light, and easy access to kitchens and bedrooms. Residents find well-stocked libraries with globe and armchairs, sit in the game room watching TV or play billiards, and spend time swimming or relaxing by the big indoor pool with sunlight coming in. The campus features a greenhouse home, which is the first of its kind in North Carolina for memory care, and there's a Mindful Impressions program for those living with dementia, providing bright, homelike kitchens in the memory care apartments so residents can relax and eat comfortably.
It's a Life Plan Community managed by Baptist Retirement Homes, now called ThriveMore, and has offered care to older adults in North Carolina for over seventy years. You'll see the amenities stretch across the campus, with restaurant-style dining, a community garden, walking trails, water aerobics, yoga, a bridge club, Bible study, movie nights, and outings. There's also a fitness center, a spa and sauna, and green open spaces. The staff helps with housekeeping, laundry, transportation, counseling, activities of daily living like dressing or bathing, and medication management, while nurses and a rehab team provide skilled care and therapy if needed. Taylor Glen has options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehab, which means you don't have to move if your needs change. All apartments and homes are private, and some allow pets, with utilities, housekeeping, and meals included in the monthly fees for many units. It's both Medicare and Medicaid certified, with direct admission for assisted living or nursing as needed, and a waiting list for some units.
There's a strong sense of community, with staff available 24/7, a robust calendar of campus activities, shared green spaces, and spaces made for both quiet and social time, so people often find family and friends here, and every effort is made to give each resident dignity, independence, and personal attention through the "Forever First®" approach to care. Taylor Glen focuses on safety, quality, and a meaningful life, offering long-term options and planned expansions soon, and stands as the first Life Plan Community in Cabarrus County.
