Through reviews from our residents and their loved ones, learn more about life at Arbor Terrace of Burnt Hickory.
SAFETY
Sometimes it is no longer safe for your loved one to live alone at home. Maybe the upkeep is too much or the home isn’t “aging-ready.” Maybe you’ve noticed signs of decline like missed medications and scorched pans. When this happens, a move into a senior living community is crucial for their safety and well-being.
