What Does StoneRidge Cost?
StoneRidge charges month to month rent with no entrance fee, and it publishes a starting rate on its website. Rent covers meals, housekeeping, transportation, and activities, so ask which utilities are included to get the full monthly cost. Ask me for current pricing and I will get you the exact rate for the apartment you want.
Is StoneRidge Licensed by the State?
No. North Carolina does not license independent living, so there are no state inspections or star ratings for StoneRidge. It has been run by Hawthorn Senior Living since at least 2019 and still uses the Gracious Retirement Living name. I found no news of serious problems.
