    Luxurious, caring community with caveats

    I toured this high-end, hotel-like community and was very impressed by the accommodating, long-tenured staff, knowledgeable desk team, and excellent sales director - follow-ups were spot on. The amenities are top-tier: multiple restaurants (including a glamorous dining room with linen tablecloths), complimentary meal, indoor/Olympic-sized pool, exercise centers, billiards, many clubs and activities, and internal transportation to doctors and shopping. Apartments are spacious (two-bed/two-bath options), apartment-style so you can bring your own things, with a pleasant courtyard pond and convenient nearby stores - great for being close to family. It's luxurious and well cared for, but very expensive with a large upfront fee and generally for reasonably healthy residents (not appropriate for level-one care). Overall a vibrant, caring community with excellent staff and amenities if the price fits.

    About SearStone

    SearStone sits in Cary, North Carolina, and offers a wide mix of senior living options like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care. Folks living here get round-the-clock nursing with medication management and help with personal care, bathing, dressing, and moving around. SearStone uses care plans that fit each person, and they help with meals, linen service, housekeeping, and provide activities every day, including outings, fitness, and wellness programs. Apartments and homes here have private bathrooms, walk-in closets, kitchen or kitchenette, laundry areas, and most have patios, balconies, or nice views of the grounds, which include walking paths, a garden, and a 4.5-acre lake you can walk around or fish in. There's a big selection of housing, from flats and apartments to estate homes, with some places having sunrooms, garages, balconies, and options for bigger floor plans. Each place also has emergency call systems and Wi-Fi, with covered parking and elevators if needed.

    The Winston Clubhouse is the heart of the community, with restaurants, fitness center, spa, a big ballroom, club spaces, a library, and the White Horse Bar & Grille. Folks here gather for dining, cultural, and spiritual events, and there are three new dining venues too. There's an indoor pool, a massage center, and even a hair salon for grooming. The community keeps things lively with on-site events, resident-led programs, and special spaces like an auditorium and lakefront view spots. SearStone has Life Care so people don't worry about changing costs as their health needs change, and the health care team works closely with residents and families, keeping skilled nursing and memory support secure and personal. Brittany Place is where people get nursing or assisted living, and a separate memory support area offers extra help for folks with dementia.

    People use on-site banking, postal services, and enjoy concierge services, transportation, and 24-hour security. There's also help for folks with diabetes, incontinence, and those who need therapy like physical, occupational, or speech. Most things in the neighborhood are walkable or a short golf cart ride away, and the grounds feature gardens, lakes, water features, and spots to sit and relax. The community scores high with residents and families for its staff and warm feeling. SearStone is a true continuing care retirement community, supporting folks as their needs change, and offering a close-knit and active life where neighbors keep busy and cared for in a simple, lively setting.
