Whether you prefer laid-back beach towns, mountain hikes, or something in between, North Carolina has something to offer — and that’s what makes it an ideal retirement destination. The Outer Banks region along the state’s eastern coast is a popular tourist spot, featuring lighthouses, beaches, and countless other aquatic activities. It’s also home to Kitty Hawk, the seaside town where the Wright brothers made their historic first airplane flight. Then, on North Carolina’s western edge is where the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains run through the state. Peppered throughout all of North Carolina are small yet vibrant college towns like Asheville and Chapel Hill, along with larger metropolitan areas like Charlotte. Add mild weather and low property taxes to the mix, and it’s clear why the Tar Heel State has one of the fastest-growing populations in the United States.

The community is just beautiful. Such a nice environment staff and management have put together. Very caring staff. Good food and fun activities.

I'm glad my mom spent her last days at Brighton, it wasn't my first choice but it was my best choice and I'm glad we moved her there. I would recommend it
I would recommend PP; but my stepmother thinks the food is lacking in preparation and variety. I think the staff is very good and the facilities well maintained.
The facility is on the small side, feels very homey, staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. They are very encouraging to the residents to be involved in the different activities.
We have mostly been happy with the community. Outings are great and my father in law is definitely more active than he used to be. Staff has been very good and residents seem happy. Biggest suggestion would...
The staff listens and adheres to family concerns and addresses them in a timely manner. Cleanliness is exceptional, and food is very good...overall extremely pleased with Spring Arbor.
For the most part it as advertised. Food is not what was advertised. Some improvements have been made. They still have a way to go to get what we are paying for.
Positive-Happy staff, very caring, great medical oversight Negative-many clothes lost despite name on all, she has many clothes that show up in closet, not hers, no name in them. Dressed in those clothes...
Morningside of Raleigh was absolutely amazing. They were all so caring and helpful...they enjoyed my mother just as much as she enjoyed them.
