Escape the bustle of the city, and retreat to the tranquility of Emerald Pond — a Holiday Retirement community offering diverse living options, chef-inspired meals, and exceptional independent living services in Durham, North Carolina.

This craftsman-style community is located on a 150-acre nature preserve, which is filled with quiet ponds and weaving hiking trails. So whether you like to stay active and explore or simply prefer to soak in the sunshine with your favorite four-legged friend, this community is perfect for you!

Through the Travel and Stay program, members of any of the 200+ Holiday Retirement communities can stay in a sister community of their choice for up to seven days free of charge. Meals are also included!

Great Place to Work Institute has honored Emerald Pond with certification as a Great Place to Work® for their 2021-2022 awards.

Community Services and Amenities

Professional and compassionate associates provide regular housekeeping, linen, maintenance, and scheduled transportation services. Three delicious and nutritious meals are prepared every day and are served in the elegant dining hall. Multiple menu options are available to accommodate various preferences and dietary needs.

Rest easy at night knowing that trained associates are available on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide emergency response services. Customizable personal and health care services are available through a third party provider for an additional fee.

Staff puts together a robust calendar of recreational, educational, and social activities for all residents to enjoy. By updating the calendar every month, they can accommodate a vast variety of interests and skill sets. Stay active by taking a fitness or yoga class in the mornings, or exchange stories with your neighbor during a summer cookout on the patio.

Living Arrangements

Various studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans are available for residents to choose from. Apartments include a convenient kitchenette and a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, equipped with a walk-in tub. Select units feature a private patio as well. Many utilities — including cable TV and individually controlled heating and air conditioning — are bundled into each month’s rent, so you only have to worry about paying one bill.

Private two-bedroom cottages are also available for residents who would prefer more independence. Emerald Pond cottages feature open-concept floor plans, full kitchens, two wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, and full-sized washers and dryers. Private patios and garages are also included in each unit. Select floor plans feature a fireplace in the living room and spacious walk-in closets in each bedroom.

  • Holistically an excellent place to live and be happy with a fulfilling life.

    It's a great sense of comfort to our family that our loved one is in great hands. He's so well taken care of, and that makes us very happy. The staff are amazing. They love what they do, and you can really tell. Our loved one loves the food, maybe too much! It's very well balanced and has a great variety.

  • Our Tour Experience

    Our tour at Emerald Pond was good. My loved one probably would have ended up going here, but it was just too far away.

  • my review of Emerald Pond,

    This community only offers independent living and we felt our loved ones needed more. The community was declining when we left. They had a new director and the food was not good at all. Maintenance requests took too long to be addressed and I hope they are doing better now.
