Stay happy and healthy at Willow Grove senior living, a Holiday Retirement community in Matthews, NC. Near Charlotte, Indian Trail, Monroe & more.
Residents appreciate the freedom and flexibility our independent living communities offer as needs around personal care and medical assistance change. Choosing a la carte from third-party health care and personal care providers* -- many with offices right inside the community -- gives them the power to choose their providers and obtain similar services as they would in a higher level of care like assisted living, but without giving up the independence, warm community of friends, and fun-loving atmosphere they enjoy so much.
