Care
Assisted Living
A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.
Independent Living
Designed to help older adults who want to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, these communities offer services and amenities that cater to residents’ needs, while encouraging a sense of community and freedom from the responsibilities of owning a home.
Memory Care
Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.
Respite Care
Respite care is short-term or temporary care. Respite care can be provided in adult day centers, in private homes via home health agencies and in senior living communities, most often assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.

I was a senior life-enrichment speaker, and worked in the industry for more than a decade. I’m also a chef who’s worked in 3 countries… so the experience I bring to senior communities, gives me a rather critical eye. I first came looking for a place for my aunt. She has no children and I was worrying about her ability to continue to care for her home. Inna was our first contact. I loved her transparency and candor as we spoke about issues affecting senior populations. My aunt also had a dog and she thought something horrible would have to happen before she would ever consider a senior community. Just the opposite is true as first colonial allows people to bring their beloved dogs and cats to the community. I was struck by the atmosphere as some people walk through the grounds with their fur babies… Stopping so everyone could pet or greet or speak to the critters. Everyone seems to know each pet by name. Having been a former activity director I expected to not be very impressed with activities but they offer so much more than bingo. Stimulating and fun, social events, classes, speakers, FILL the activity calendar daily! It blew my mind as these were activities that I would want to take part in. Then the food: well I didn’t expect to like the food as my mother is in a facility in NC that has really lousy food And most senior communities offer Just mediocre meals. I was blown away as nothing comes out of a can there and all the meals are scratch made. Whether it’s eggs Benedict or halibut with a lemon cream sauce over pasta… It blew me away! These are meals I would want! These are meals I would be proud to serve! My aunt has now been there for a month and I felt sure the warts would start to show. It just hasn’t been the case at all. From the very caring housekeepers who do resident’s laundry and look after the day today appearance of their apartments, to Kimberly, who always greets you with a smile from the front desk, to the maintenance men who come to help hang pictures in a timely manner whenever needed… Or Dana the executive Director. Everyone cares about your concerns and are well-versed with the issues that plague, senior communities from troubles with mobility, to memory care, or depression. First Colonial Inn is an aesthetically pleasing, beautiful facility that’s Homey, friendly, and a place anybody would be proud to call home. I cannot say enough great stuff about the staff, the activities, and the food. Inna has been our shining star through the whole process of walking my aunt Kathy & me through the stages, with us every step of the way. Residents are encouraged to stay busy with the games, or the book club, which they provide the book of the month to all members as a courtesy… I know I sound like I work for the place, but I don’t. I just could not be more thrilled with what I found there. Not only do they offer top-tier services, but they do so affordably. Whether your loved one has a green thumb, is an artist, or wants to learn more about the environment and the importance of honeybees (YES THEY EVEN HAVE A BEEHIVE 🐝!) there is something there to appeal to everyone multiple times a day Huge thanks to the very attentive staff who make the place run so smoothly and thank you again, Inna, Dana & Kimberly for always taking the time to fully address any concern we might have! I could not be happier!

My Mom has been living at First Colonial for 8 months now and seems to be very happy. The staff is wonderful and responsive to her needs. Inna was a wonderful placement person and we appreciate her help as well.

My family has felt so assured with the professionalism and personal care that my mother has received. First Colonial Inn has brought us in as part of their extended family. They have shown us that our latter years in life can be enjoyable and relaxing.

The staff was so pleasant. Talking to all the residents. It was so clean and cheerful in the building and outside was so peaceful. Lots of places to sit and relax and talk. The apartment was very nice and accommodating.
