The Gardens of Taylor Glen has a long history of helping older adults live well at every stage of life, with a mission to honor the dignity and worth of each person, and it's owned and operated by Baptist Retirement Homes of North Carolina so you'll find a faith-based, not-for-profit environment that cares deeply about quality and compassion. The community offers many levels of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and continuing care services, all right on the same campus so residents can age in place and get help as their needs change. People can choose from well-appointed apartments, standalone cottage homes, or villa apartments, many with outdoor spaces like balconies, and floor plans go from cozy one-bedroom layouts to larger two-bedroom designs, with natural light, comfortable furniture, and stylish decor making these homes bright and inviting without feeling too fancy. The community stays active with events and amenities like a game room with billiards and TV, a built-in bookshelf library with cozy armchairs, water aerobics, yoga, Bible study groups, and outings, while outdoor options like sidewalks, a community garden, green space, a pond with a gazebo and fountain, and landscaped grounds give everyone a nice spot to walk or relax-there's even a covered portico entrance with a brick fountain and lush green lawn that makes people feel welcome.
The Gardens of Taylor Glen provides residents with three homemade meals daily, and they handle special dietary needs for things like high blood pressure or diabetes, plus housekeepers take care of laundry and cleaning so people don't have to worry about chores, and staff offer help with medication, dressing, bathing, toileting, and transfers if needed, with emergency and safety systems working around the clock, so folks and their families feel safer knowing help is always close. Memory care comes with a secure, protected wing, special Mindful Impressions programs for Alzheimer's and dementia, and activities like music therapy, pet visits, group games, outdoor time, and crafts, with staff trained to handle insulin shots and two-person transfers and with 24-hour support for those at risk of wandering. There are also physical therapy, occupational, and speech rehab services right at the community for folks recovering from a hospital stay or needing ongoing care, and the nurses and aides support both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing needs.
Residents can use transportation for errands, doctor's visits, or even church services, and the community makes it easy for people with mobility challenges to get around, with non-ambulatory care available, move-in coordination, and furnished rooms ready, plus there's a traveling hairdresser and a wellness area where folks can relax in a jacuzzi or sauna. Community life means plenty of activity, like movie nights, social events, board games, bridge clubs, and art rooms, and the Brice Pointe neighborhood even features waterfront views and life-enriching amenities for an active retirement. The Gardens of Taylor Glen keeps up with the times too, using social media to connect with families, and a special Foundation supports residents in need, helps with medications, and pays for community improvements, so everyone gets the chance to enjoy a full life. The community is bringing North Carolina's first GREEN HOUSE® home to its campus for memory care, which is something rare and special in the region, and overall, everything here comes together to support seniors with care, dignity, and a simple way of living that helps people feel comfortable, safe, and part of a warm community.
