My experience

I have a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment which is a perfect fit for me. I have a balcony which I enjoy when the weather permits. The community is the biggest plus. Many opportunities to meet new friends and socialize with friends already made.

Great Community for 55+

Not an included amenity for all meals but food provided multiple times weekly in conjunction with scheduled events. Great location, in close proximity to shops, restaurants, movie theater, public library. Full schedule of daily activities/events for residents. Very accessible and helpful management and maintenance staff.

The staff is professional and caring. The building is very clean, and the grounds are well kept. My two-bedroom apartment is spacious and well laid out. The amenities are wonderful, and the activities provide numerous opportunities to make friends. I have truly found my home here.

I miss living there!

Everyone there is loving, kind, and incredibly helpful—both the staff and the residents. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the apartments are beautiful. I especially loved the indoor heated swimming pool! I no longer live there because I was needed by family members in Florida, but I truly miss living there and think of it fondly.

Inspire is a great place to call home

The facility is located in a prime location, proximate to multiple shopping/dining options and healthcare services. The staff is superb, very helpful and responsive to residents. A recurring theme I've heard from residents who've been here longer than me, some of whom have lived in other senior communities or have left here but then returned, is that Inspire is a great place to call home.

Great Staff and the faculty has all needed amenities plus more. Great location near shopping Mall, Restaurants, Movie Theatre, and easy access to major highways/interstate. I would definitely recommend Inspire Sandhills to anyone.

False advertizing

The facility is beautiful. The residents are wonderful, warm, friendly. The advertising is false. There is a pool, but has not been heated for 8 months. The dining room , bistro and bar are all closing as of March 31, 2023. All of that staff is going to be jobless. They company says they care about their residents. They most certainly Do Not. We no longer have transportation. Residents who are unable to cook, drive, or clean their apartments are left helpless. I am a current resident looking for a new location.

A great place.

Inspire at Sandhill is a great place for retirement. There are various activities such as swimming, exercise class, name-that-tune night to keep everyone entertained. There is also a small library along with a piano in the foyer, a chapel, a restaurant, and hair salon as well. The most important aspect, though, is the friendly staff. My aunt has felt most welcome since she first came to Inspire almost two years ago, so a big thank you to Inspire at Sandhills.

A nice place to live, but it's not the best.

Everybody is very friendly. Some of the staff members will go out of their way to help you with any questions or concerns. But then other staff members never call you back, and you have to try to track them down in the lobby. They do a good job with cleanliness. They have a lot of activities. They just went through an ownership change though, and they will be making some changes, including their menu and food vendor. This used to be an all-inclusive facility, and it is not going to be once our lease is up. They say they're lowering the rent, but their food service is not going to be included, nor are they providing housekeeping. You'll have to pay extra for those things. It feels like a bait and switch, and I'm disappointed in that. It seems like they're forcing out some of the go-to employees as well, including our maintenance man, who was very friendly and very helpful.

Discovery Village is the Place to Be for Independent Living

They have a courteous staff, and they're supportive of the family. They are caring and they took care of my loved one very well. The staff made sure my loved one was taken care of with their needs. The food was enjoyed by my loved one.

Overall a good community

Discovery Village is very clean, and the staff members are extremely friendly they know your name almost immediately. I think the meals and dining service has been great so far and they offer up a variety of activities for us to participate in.
