Here at Searstone, our dedicated team and welcoming neighbors are ready to support you to help make sure your transition to our senior living campus feels exactly like coming home. We want you to feel not only excited but also confident as you step out of your front door here for the first time. With all the research behind you, you might be wondering what the first month might look like as prepare for your move to Searstone. We’re here to help give you a glimpse.

Curating Your Perfect Space

Moving to Searstone is less about downsizing and more about rightsizing into a sophisticated home that reflects who you are. Our spacious floor plans are designed with your comfort and lifestyle in mind, offering the perfect canvas for this next chapter.

From the moment you select your residence, you’ll work closely with our move-in coordinator to personalize your space. You can choose your paint colors and bedroom carpet to match your aesthetic preferences. Whether you prefer warm neutrals, calming blues, or bold accent walls, your new home should feel unmistakably yours.

Inside your residence, you’ll enjoy thoughtfully designed amenities that make daily life effortless. Your well-appointed kitchen provides everything you need for preparing meals or entertaining friends. Having an in-residence washer and dryer gives you simple convenience right at home, while your balcony or patio offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

Once you’ve moved in, our maintenance team provides two complimentary hours to help with the finishing touches that transform a residence into a home, such as hanging pictures, mirrors, and artwork. Consider this a sneak peek into your life here at Searstone and the start of a maintenance-free lifestyle, where chores like housekeeping, yard work, and repairs are handled by professionals. 

A Supported and Seamless Transition 

We understand that moving can feel overwhelming, which is why Searstone’s experienced team is here to guide you through every step. Our partnership with LivNow Relocation ensures you have access to professional support designed specifically for senior living transitions. While these specific vendor expenses are the responsibility of the resident, our partnership ensures you have a dedicated advocate to streamline every detail of the process.

LivNow’s relocation specialists help coordinate the logistics of your move, reducing stress and allowing you to focus on the excitement of your new beginning. They handle the details, from organizing and packing to working with certified moving professionals, so you don’t have to. Their mobile platform keeps you connected throughout the process, allowing you to track progress, access important documents, and communicate with your relocation specialist, all in one convenient place.

The goal is simple: to make your transition as smooth and stress-free as possible so you can start enjoying your new lifestyle.

An Active and Engaging Lifestyle From Day One 

The moment you arrive at Searstone, you’ll discover that retirement here is anything but a boring old retirement plan. Our vibrant community offers diverse opportunities for engagement, ensuring you can be as active or relaxed as you choose.

You’ll be welcomed by the Friendship Committee, a group of residents dedicated to helping newcomers feel at home. Each new resident is paired with an Ambassador: someone who knows the ins and outs of community life and is happy to answer questions, make introductions, and share their favorite spots around campus.

One of our newest initiatives, the Searstone Circle of Friends, creates meaningful connections through rotating monthly gatherings. This welcoming social group brings together newer residents and those who’ve been here for a while, making it easy to meet new people and build friendships. Once you’re invited into the Circle based on your move-in date, you’ll receive invitations to these casual get-togethers for a full year. It’s a relaxed way to expand your social circle and feel even more at home.

Right at your doorstep, you’ll find:

• Fitness and Wellness Programs: We offer water aerobics, fitness classes, and state-of-the-art facilities to keep you active.
• Culinary Experiences: Enjoy five distinct dining venues with executive chefs who learn your preferences and favorite dishes.
• Social Clubs and Activities: You can participate in everything from trivia nights and book clubs to art classes and wine tastings.
• Cultural Events: We organize outings to local wineries, festivals like the Chinese Lantern Festival, and cultural attractions throughout Cary.
• Outdoor Recreation: Take scenic walks around Lake Searstone, enjoy fire pit gatherings, and explore beautiful natural areas.
• Lifelong Learning: Participate in educational programs, speaker series, and opportunities to discover new interests.

The warm, welcoming environment is already in place, and your neighbors are eager to meet you. Whether it’s an impromptu gathering in the Winston Clubhouse or a planned excursion into the heart of the Research Triangle, there’s always something happening at Searstone Retirement Community.
