The Glen at Mackintosh is a large community for people aged 55 and older in the Mackintosh On The Lake Stirling neighborhood of Burlington, North Carolina, and folks living here find resort-style features like a clubhouse, community pool, gym, splash park, tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts, walking trails that run through miles of sidewalks, and outdoor spaces like community gardens and patios where residents like to gather and relax. The homes, such as the single-family house built in 2016, have things like four bedrooms, four bathrooms, owner's suites on the main level, formal dining rooms with wainscoting, kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, living room fireplaces with gas logs, and attached garages, while outside you'll notice vinyl siding, wide covered porches, rocking chairs, and flat yards, along with sprinkler systems that help keep the lawns green. People here can choose from various types of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, or nursing home-level help, because The Glen at Mackintosh works as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so residents have support if they need help with things like bathing, dressing, or medication, and there are safety and emergency alert systems, as well as a 24-hour call system for peace of mind.
Residents who need memory care get extra attention with special programs, rooms, and safety setups made for people who have trouble with memory or thinking, and there are group activities and services to help everyone stay active and engaged, including a spa, wellness room, theater, library, arts and crafts room, and a fitness center. There are daily scheduled events, movie nights, resident-run activities, and outdoor programs. Staff or helpers can provide housekeeping, laundry help, move-in coordination, and concierge services, and the dining options let you eat in a dining room or choose meal plans that fit special diets like for diabetes or allergies, with restaurant-style and all-day dining available.
Every home or apartment tends to have comforts like Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and access to community amenities, and some even include features like garden tubs, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, pantry storage, gas ranges, and more. The homeowner's association manages community details and charges a quarterly fee, covering many of these features. People looking to move, sell or rent homes in the neighborhood can use services tied to the Red Door Company, which helps handle listings, cash offers, and rentals. The Glen at Mackintosh uses unique community names and program titles like Sun City, and connects to a wider network with locations such as Latitude Margaritaville and The Villages, focusing on active lifestyles, support, independence, and social life for seniors.
