Residents, staff, board members, and other invited guests shared a time of celebration, anticipation, and community pride at the groundbreaking ceremony for our new Coble Creek Healthcare and Rehabilitation building.  Replacing an existing building on our campus, this new 104-bed facility represents a significant investment in the long-term health care needs of both Twin Lakes Community residents and members of the greater surrounding community.  With over 130,000 square feet on a single level, the new building, designed by TFF Architects & Planners, LLP of Greensboro, North Carolina, comprises five neighborhoods, each accommodating 20 to 22 residents.  Each neighborhood features large, private living quarters with private baths, living, dining, and activities areas for residents, as well as caregiver stations, facilitating a high quality of caregiving and enhanced staff response times.  In addition to the five neighborhoods, the building also incorporates a full-service restaurant for campus residents, staff and visitors, a Chapel, multi-purpose room, large family room, and a rehabilitation gym with a therapy pool for short and long-term rehabilitation.  A spa and salon available for campus residents’ use are also included.  The Christman Company of Greensboro, North Carolina has been selected as the General Contractor, and construction is scheduled to be complete in late 2020.

Construction continues on our last development of new garden homes. Twenty-eight homes are being built in three phases with completion in Summer 2020, bringing our total number of garden homes to 130. Garden homes are free-standing three-bedroom, two or two-and-a-half bath homes with an attached garage, attic and terrace, as well as optional Carolina Room and screened porch. All homes in the new development have been sold, and we look forward to welcoming these 28 new families to our community next year. For information on all independent living options, including garden homes, villas, and apartments, please contact the Sales and Marketing office at 336-538-1572.

Coble Creek Healthcare and Rehabilitation recently had its annual survey and certification process as required by federal law. We are proud to announce that we earned a DEFICIENCY FREE SURVEY! Each year a team of state employees conducts an intense review of our facility to ensure that we are meeting all state and federal standards of care. The surveyors spent some time visiting with our residents, families and staff to get a good idea of what life is like here in Coble Creek.They evaluated all aspects of care including quality of life, regulatory compliance, resident rights, nursing care, activities programming, and environmental standards. The last available stats for surveys show less than 7% of nursing facilities in the United States receive a deficiency-free status.Coble Creek Administrator Lauren Cook states, "These survey results are validation for all of us; the dedication, love and quality care that we give every day is making a difference."

Lanes of Light 2018  was a tremendous success! Through our community's efforts and the broader community's support, 26.5 TONS of food was donated to The Salvation Army food ministries. Lanes of Light is an award-winning mile-long drive through Twin Lakes Community dressed in holiday style. Through the joint efforts of our staff and residents, our 215 acre campus is transformed into a winter wonderland filled with festive fun. Dozens of illuminated trees, a sixty-foot sea serpent, and other holiday designs create a beautiful reflection as they float on our lakes. A larger-than-life Toyland with a live jack-in-the-box is the delight of children young and old. Those displays as well as all other wooden designs are the creation of our resident woodworkers and artists. Additional displays are designed and created each year. Santa, Mrs. Claus, The Grinch, and Frosty the Snowman are always dressed in full holiday attire to greet visitors. And, the favorite of all visitors is the residents of Twin Lakes who enthusiastically stand at their court entrances wishing every visitor a Merry Christmas! Requested admission is canned food or a monetary donation for the benefit of The Salvation Army food pantries. Through Lanes of Light, a true labor of love, over 245 tons of food has been given to local food ministries. Please join us for Lanes of Light 2019, December 7th and 8th, 2019!
