FAQS

Connery on Providence is a 55+ active adult rental community in Charlotte, North Carolina. It offers 200 one- and two-bedroom luxury apartments designed for residents who want to live independently in a connected, amenity-rich community. The property is located in the Olde Providence South neighborhood, just minutes from the SouthPark area.

Connery on Providence is an active adult 55+ rental community. It is not assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Residents live independently in their own apartments and manage their own daily routines, healthcare, and meals. The community provides amenities, social programming, and a maintenance-free lifestyle, but does not offer personal care services, medication management, or on-site medical care. 

Connery is designed for active adults age 55 and older who want to simplify their lifestyle without sacrificing quality. Residents are typically empty-nesters, recent retirees, or active professionals who want to trade home maintenance for amenities, community, and convenience while remaining fully independent.

Many of our residents found Connery with the help of an adult child. We recommend three steps. First, confirm that an active adult community fits your parent's needs. Connery is designed for adults who live independently and want amenities and community, not for those who need personal care or medical support. Second, schedule a tour together so your parent can experience the community firsthand and meet the team. Third, ask the leasing team to walk through finances, lease terms, and the move-in process. We're happy to coordinate a tour at a time that works for the whole family. 

Because Connery is an independent active adult community, residents who develop a need for personal care, assisted living, or memory care may eventually transition to a community designed for those services. The leasing team can speak with residents and families about lease flexibility if a transition becomes necessary, and can share general information about senior care options in the Charlotte area.
