Cary Senior Center offers so much! I had no idea until I started taking fun classes like line…read moredancing, tai chi, laughter meditation and attended some of the one session educational events. New to retirement I've talked to family friends in FL and CA asking about their local Senior Center. No One has what Cary has to offer. Several classes are free. My favorite is the line dancing classes. They hold several for beginners all the way to a group who will compete in the National Senior Games. My class consists of 65 women, different ages/ethnicity but all kicking it dancing to country-western to hip hop. I was stunned by how friendly and encouraging everyone was toward me. Did I mention it's free? So this is for those folks who maybe in their 50's + new to the area to come to the center and check it out. They also have volunteers to help with Medicare enrollment, etc. Beautiful setting in Bond Park off High House. We are very fortunate to have so much to offer our "seniors" here in Cary and the surrounding area. Program catalogs are published by Cary Parks and Rec. Stay Active and Have Fun!

The kiddie pool play structure area (toddler friendly) and pool (3 ft) are wonderful. They provide…read morearm floaties and kickboards to boot. The pools are indoor but they often have the roof partially open so there's shadier areas and other spots in direct sun. Always a lifeguard around and pretty relaxing for parents. The times are a bit limited but overall I've found sign up to be straight forward for the weekends and the play areas at least don't require sign up currently on the weekdays. The fitness classes tend to fill up fast, too, but is included and not at extra cost. I tried the Zumba one and it's meh because the teacher barely interacted with the class. The levels of experience in the room was pretty mixed. I do the punch card and am not a member, so I really only go if it's rainy TBH. However, they do have basic gym equipment so it's worthwhile with the pool access. They currently don't have a family membership so it can be pricey. But it does mean it's not as crowded as I first assumed it would be. So good COVID upkeep and crowd control when I've gone. Hoping they offer more class times or outdoor programs.

Covid was handled beautifully with masking required and meal delivery to apartments. Unfortunately, things haven't bounced back as much as hoped, impacted by short staffing and staff turnover. During the time of lowest staffing, menus and meal preparation went downhill; however, things are improving significantly. Staffing situations have also caused maintenance and housekeeping to be below par, but the light at this particular tunnel is beginning to be visible. Parking remains abysmal for residents. Improvements have been promised for months but nothing has changed. There are many opportunities for activities, movies, special dining events, vaccinations, and others. I will remain a happy member of the Reserve community.

I was looking for something particular, that I couldn't find. But I still think they're worth a visit if you're a regular thrift or I would definitely head that way. They did have several unusual items, so even with the small inventory, sometimes a thrift store can have some very unusual and unique items that are hard to find elsewhere. To repeat myself, definitely worth a visit and easy to get to.

The dining room food is restaurant quality, with daily specials and a decent fixed menu if you don't want the specials. The fixed menu changes every couple months. The exercise classes are both mentally and physically engaging. There is a lovely movie theater room, art room, outdoor seating area and garden. At the entrance there is a grand piano, bar, and bistro. A resident recently taught a Zentangle class in the art room. She started with "The difference between Zentangle and doodling is mindfulness vs. mindlessness" and without missing a beat another woman said "and you think that's going to help us?!" while a third snorked. The location is unusual, literally minutes away from a hospital, doctors, rehab and temporary assisted living, restaurants (Wasabi has outstanding sushi and sashimi), Costco, hotels, grocery, shopping, plus a lake and outdoor amphitheater walking distance. There is a pool and water aerobic classes, PT. There is a physician's assistant who visits and makes rounds every Friday, simply email or call. The place allows dogs and there are quite a few from small to large. While it is independent living, some have personal assistants and they allow hospice for those couples who don't want to split up (eye opening, hadn't considered that prior to seeing this place). I had a long conversation with many of the residents who moved from other facilities and said there was no comparison. One resident moved the same time as my parents from another Atria facility in Durham (he's quiet until he wants to talk, and then you get a wealth of information). He loves the fact that management has the freedom to manage. Initially the lighting in the theater room was bad, and it took six months but they changed it and now the theater is lovely. He said they will entertain any reasonable request. While I personally didn't do the level of research into senior communities that my parents and sister did since I don't live in NC, the consensus and my experience show this is an outstanding residence and community.
