Aldersgate is a non-profit Life Plan Community in Charlotte, North Carolina, renowned for its expansive, park-like campus and its wide range of lifestyle options tailored for adults aged 62 and above. The community is situated amid one of the largest green spaces in Mecklenburg County, offering residents hundreds of acres of walkable nature, including misty woodland hikes, lakeside strolls, and serene garden excursions. These natural settings are at the heart of Aldersgate's commitment to providing an environment where older adults can enjoy vibrancy, independence, and peace of mind about their future living needs.
The campus boasts a variety of independent living accommodations, such as spacious two-bedroom, two-bath cottages scattered among beautifully wooded neighborhoods. Each cottage is designed for comfort, featuring a full kitchen, an attached garage, and a deck or patio. There are also Gateway Apartments and Villas, a striking three-story development inspired by cosmopolitan, boutique hotel designs. These residences offer terraces or balconies, under-building parking, and high-end finishes, all complemented by a central location that keeps residents close to dining, recreational venues, and a bustling neighborhood of friends and activities.
Aldersgate provides a full continuum of care, ensuring that as residents' needs change, they can access assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, a wellness clinic, and short-term rehabilitation without leaving the comfort of their community. The Parker Terrace Assisted Living area is thoughtfully designed for those who want to remain active and social while benefiting from daily support, while Cuthbertson Village Memory Care integrates the latest research and best practices in dementia care. This memory care community stands out with one of the best team member-to-resident ratios in North Carolina, placing a strong focus on person-centered care.
For residents who require advanced medical or rehabilitative support, the Asbury Health & Rehabilitation Center represents a new model of excellence. This center is characterized by its inviting private suites, abundant natural light, and welcoming shared spaces such as living rooms, dens, and sunrooms. Specialized team members in this center facilitate physical, occupational, and speech therapy, supporting both long-term and short-term recovery needs, all supported by attentive personal service.
Life at Aldersgate encompasses much more than health care. Residents have a wide array of amenities right on campus, including several dining venues, The Body Shop fitness center, billiards room, Rose and Ivy Pub, a café, banking services, a post office, and a convenience store. Programs like Aldersgate At Home are available to empower residents to maintain their independence, offering support that ranges from help with daily activities to light housekeeping. Events such as the Epworth Open House and bourbon tastings offer social opportunities and a chance to experience the historic charm of the Epworth apartments, which provide convenient elevator access to all community amenities.
Aldersgate’s philosophy centers on value, operational transparency, and a commitment to making residents’ money go further than it might in for-profit communities. There are no hidden fees, surprise costs, or unexpected upcharges. The community continually looks to the future, with plans for further development including new independent living cottage designs such as Sequoia and Spruce. Aldersgate’s blend of natural beauty, comprehensive care, and engaging lifestyle options make it a distinctive choice for adults seeking a vibrant and supportive retirement community in Charlotte.
