The Cypress of Charlotte, found at 3442 Cypress Club Drive in Charlotte, sits on 65 acres in SouthPark. The community has cottages and villas in different styles and sizes, from 800 to 3,100 square feet, so people can find a place that fits their needs, and these homes let residents build equity while skipping the work of property maintenance. Residents use winding walking trails around lakes, raised bed gardens that are easy to reach, and outdoor benches for enjoying fresh air and sunshine.
The Cypress of Charlotte is a Life Plan Community-some still call it a Continuing Care Retirement Center-which means all levels of care are on the same campus. The health center provides support with assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehab, and home health care, plus options like hospice and respite care, so if needs change over time, extra help is close by. The staff includes 24-hour nurse coverage, and every living unit has an emergency call system for quick assistance.
The homes have practical touches many find helpful, like private bathrooms, patios or balconies, washers and dryers, walk-in closets, extra storage space, and the choice between furnished or unfurnished. Units also come with cable or satellite TV. The buildings and grounds allow for pets, which is important to some folks, and are secured with 24-hour security.
The community's main clubhouse sits by the lake, where people gather for fine dining or enjoy casual meals on the veranda. Daily meals come from a culinary team, and there's a restaurant-style dining service with menus to choose from. Transportation and valet service help residents get around easily and come and go as needed. Everyone can join in water therapy, water-based activities, or use the sports and fitness center, and there's a full calendar with social outings, support groups, recreational activities, and outings around town.
There are healthcare and wellness services like medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and areas for exercise and water activities. The grounds include walking paths, trails shaded for summer, raised bed gardens, and nice views of the water. Amenity spaces include a beauty and barber salon, card and game room, library, residents' lounge, and a clubhouse for social activities. There's an activities director planning things throughout the week. Housekeeping, home maintenance, and on-site support services make day-to-day life a little less worrisome. Residents enjoy a close-knit and active lifestyle with a range of services made to help people stay independent while giving help as needed.
