Abernethy Laurels in Newton, NC, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose a level of daily support that fits their individual needs. Short-term Respite care is available for those recovering from an illness or for caregivers who need a break; during these stays, residents receive the same attention to medication management and personal assistance provided to long-term residents. Licensed staff members coordinate medical oversight, and the community can arrange transportation to outside physician appointments when required.
The community maintains 24-hour security coverage and equips every residence with an emergency call system so that help can be summoned quickly at any time of day. Staff members are continuously on site to respond to alerts, assist with unscheduled needs, and handle routine wellness checks. These safety measures are integrated into both the Assisted Living and Independent Living areas, giving residents and their families consistent peace of mind.
Private and semi-private apartments come with varying combinations of features such as in-unit washer and dryer, cable television, Wi-Fi, and housekeeping services. Many homes open to landscaped grounds that include outdoor gardens and walking paths, while select locations are closer to communal patios or the on-site gift shop. Because floor plans differ, prospective residents should confirm which specific amenities—like cable hookups or patio access—are available in the residence they select.
Meals are prepared on site, and residents may choose between a set menu and an on-order option at each seating. Specialized textures such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets are accommodated without extra charge, and snacks are available throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for visits with family or for special occasions to make gatherings more comfortable.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, club meetings, and health and wellness programs designed to maintain mobility and cognition. A library and computer lounge offer quiet spaces for reading, internet use, and small group discussions, while community-sponsored interest groups encourage residents to stay socially connected.
