Abernethy Laurels, the first and largest United Church Homes and Services community, opened in 1971. Located on a gently rolling 120-acre site in Newton, North Carolina, Abernethy offers a casual, warm atmosphere, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Abernethy Laurels combines elegant independent housing with full-service accommodations on a fee-for-service basis. The residential lifestyle of Abernethy Village offers single homes, patio homes or town home apartments in a community campus setting. Other accommodations located in Abernethy Pavilion include one bedroom, patio and studio apartments.

Because we are a continuing care retirement community, the campus also offers assisted living and skilled nursing care that provide the security of knowing that your health care needs can be met on one campus.

The convenience of Charlotte and Hickory, North Carolina, together with the rural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains makes Abernethy a very appealing destination for retirement living. Residents most often tell us they "should have moved here sooner" to enjoy the richness of this community, which brings together people from all over the country to become part of our family.

We encourage you to visit us and to see first hand why so many wonderful people make Abernethy Laurels their home.
