The Polo Club at Mountain Island Lake

The Polo Club at Mountain Island Lake sits in a peaceful lakeside spot, and you notice right away that they've planned for different levels of care for people as they get older, since this place offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even board and care homes for small groups in quiet neighborhoods, so folks don't have to move far as needs change, which a lot of people like. The community has many options for apartment homes and even single-story attached villas with nice finishes and outdoor spaces, some detached single-family homes too, and you can pick between nine floor plans, most with two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached garage, which makes life simpler if you still drive or just want a bit of privacy, as it's built by Epcon Communities for active adults 55 and older. People who live here get help with daily tasks if needed, like bathing, dressing, medicine, and meals, plus personal care or even special memory programs, so folks with Alzheimer's or dementia get 24-hour support in a safe, caring setting where staff offer memory-enhancing activities and support anytime, and skilled nursing care is available too, with services covering wound care, rehab, and plenty of nursing help for more complex health matters. The Wellness Center and wellness program offer ways to stay active with an indoor pool, outdoor heated pool, walking trails, gardens, greenhouse, fitness room, indoor walking track, putting green, horseshoe pits, a sports court, bocce ball, billiards, shuffleboard, clubhouse, and art studio, while residents enjoy amenities like bistro grille, café, barber shop, beauty salon, Tuck Shop boutique, a library, chapel, learning center, auditorium, ballroom, private dining rooms, as well as a cyber cafe and computer lab for access online or to keep up with friends, and you see they have bank/ATM services there too, so errands feel easy. There's always something to do between arts and music programs, movie nights, fitness classes, scheduled trips, adult day care, social events in the community center, and religious or spiritual programs, plus any family or friends can visit anytime at all because the place allows 24/7 visiting hours. Folks get a choice between private and semi-private suites, some with private showers or whirlpool tubs, and every room comes with its own climate control, Wi-Fi, emergency call systems, and either a private balcony, patio, or even garden plots for a bit of fresh air or a spot to plant flowers or tomatoes if you like. Both pet owners and their furry friends have a good spot here, since small pets are welcome in the community, and you'll find outdoor patios, walking paths, and even an enclosed garden for safe wandering. The Polo Club at Mountain Island Lake has a strong focus on medical care, supervision, and safety, with a full emergency alert system and staff support round the clock, plus resident and visitor parking, scheduled transportation for shopping or local outings, and easy access to nearby places like Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center and local clinics and pharmacies, so healthcare's never far away. The low-maintenance homes mean folks spend less time on chores and more time doing things they care about, and with on-site services like laundry, housekeeping, and even banking, life feels manageable, which many people appreciate as they look for a place to age comfortably and safely.
