What makes Senior Living at WhiteStone so amazing? If you ask Marie Dunn, Director of Sales and Marketing, the answer is easy: everything!
“Since 1912, our Life Plan Community has been providing an active retirement lifestyle and peace of mind for the future for so many seniors and their families,” Dunn says. “Our lifestyle is rooted in warm hospitality, a homelike and family feel and unique southern charm. We’re all about living well and providing you with a stable foundation to enjoy your golden years.”
WhiteStone was founded in 1912 as a Masonic and Eastern Star senior living community. It’s the first and oldest Life Plan Community (or Continuing Care Retirement Community) in North Carolina, and it was the first Masonic Fraternal Home in the U.S. created solely to care for the elderly. Today, WhiteStone is open to any older adult looking for a secure retirement in a comfortable, welcoming setting.
“Though our community has moved forward and changed with the times since we opened our doors, our values remain steadfast,” Dunn says. “We strive to create a culture of friendship and compassion that enhances the quality of life for everyone in our community.”
