was an easy decision.”

“I had already started my due diligence on continuing care retirement options. As soon as I heard about The Cypress, my parents and I went together to an information meeting. We were impressed with the concept, location, and entire Cypress team. The on-site healthcare was obviously a big attraction—not only basic healthcare, but the full continuum if needed. My parents are still very active; my mother likes to play bridge, my dad loves to walk, so all the activities—and the 48 acre campus with walkways around the lakes—are nice add-ons. The equity ownership, quite frankly, is the icing on the cake.
The Cypress has a successful track record at two other locations. One really can’t overestimate the total peace of mind, not only for my parents but for my wife and me as well. Everything is taken care of at The Cypress. It just became a very easy decision for us once we considered the alternatives.”
Quotes from The Cypress of Charlotte residents...
"Ownership was a very important consideration for us. We wanted to continue to own our home, and we also saw it as a great way to protect our assets for our children."
"The Cypress staff is more friendly and gracious than you could imagine. They’ll do anything for you. I really feel as if I’m being pampered every day."
"The main thing I wasn’t aware of when I moved to The Cypress was the friendliness of the people. Everyone is very happy to accept a person into the community. At our daily open breakfasts, we have a joke about sitting at a table for four that can hold seventeen."
"We’ve found that life at The Cypress is like living in a luxury resort. We think we have to go home and then we realize, we are home."
"When my wife was in the health center after her hip replacement, I would walk over in the morning, take coffee and the newspaper, and spend time with her. We had lunch and dinner together in the dining room there; it was the same as if I had gone to the Clubhouse. And if I had something to do, I was able to accomplish it with a clear mind, knowing she was well cared for."
