The Courtyards at Emerald Lake is a large 55+ senior living community near downtown Charlotte featuring Craftsman-styled, single-family ranch homes built for ease of mobility, with options for two to five bedrooms, and some homes even offering bonus rooms upstairs, and there are also cottage and villa home styles so people can find the kind of comfort they prefer, and the lawns and walking trails wind through landscaped courtyards and alongside ponds, with sidewalks leading out toward nearby shopping, while the community clubhouse sits as a busy central spot with a sparkling swimming pool, modern fitness center, and spaces for games and crafts, and people can use the bocce, pickleball, and tennis courts, and even the golf course or boat launch in some nearby spots, and there's a fishing pond, dog park, and areas for outdoor gatherings, so there are always ways to stay active or simply watch the birds under the trees.
Residents live a low-maintenance lifestyle with lawn care and housekeeping handled, so there's more time for scheduled activities, outings, and wellness programs, and with places like indoor and outdoor pools, walking paths, event lawns, fitness classes, and a culinary studio for cooking together, the community encourages social connection, and for meals, people share restaurant-style dining in the main dining room with professionally prepared food, including all-day service, allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly meals; there are kitchenettes for independence in some homes, and services like laundry and move-in help are available.
The Courtyards at Emerald Lake offers several levels of care, from independent living with no daily help needed, to assisted living with support for bathing, dressing, transferring, medication management, and meals, along with health and wellness monitoring and 24-hour staffing, so families know someone's always available, plus there are memory care units designed for safety, with secure layouts, cognitive support programs, and memory-friendly activities for residents living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and skilled nursing with wound care, rehab services, and medical monitoring is also available for those who need more support, making it a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so residents can stay even if care needs change over time.
There are weekly activity schedules and resident-run groups, with rooms for movies, games, arts, and a library, as well as organized fitness programs, transportation to appointments, and support for families, and homes include private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, high-speed internet, and phone lines; there's a call system and emergency alert setup in every room, and a focus on safety at all hours.
The grounds are planned for comfort and beauty, and the activity rooms, community spaces, wellness rooms, and easy-to-follow walkways help people stay connected and active, while daily living remains as simple and worry-free as possible, and respite care for short-term stays is offered when needed, so primary caregivers can have a break, and all community services and amenities are made for comfort, convenience, and helping people enjoy their days with dignity.
