Union County is a fast-growing county southeast of Charlotte, known for its mix of suburban neighborhoods and rural countryside. The county stretches from the bustling towns near Charlotte's outer ring to quieter communities closer to the South Carolina border. Indian Trail is the largest town, followed by Monroe (the county seat), Stallings, and Weddington.
Union County's growth mirrors a broader trend. State projections (opens in a new tab) show North Carolina's senior population reaching 2.7 million by 2041, driven by baby boomers and interstate migration. With nearly 34,000 Union County residents aged 65 and older, more families here are looking for quality care options close to home.
Families from Union County can reach TrueNest in 16 to 25 minutes depending on their starting point. For hospital care, Atrium Health Union in Monroe serves the county locally, and Atrium Health Cabarrus — a 400-bed medical center in Concord — is only 10 minutes from our door. Having two major hospitals within easy reach gives residents and families added peace of mind.
A small family care home like TrueNest appeals to Union County families who want personal attention over institutional care. With just 6 residents, our caregivers build genuine relationships with each person. Your loved one sees the same familiar faces every day, enjoys home-cooked meals at a family table, and lives in a calm, comfortable home — not a facility with long hallways and rotating staff.
Voices from the Nest
The families who trust us with their loved ones are our best advocates.
When we realized Mom could not live alone anymore, we were terrified of putting her somewhere cold and impersonal. TrueNest was the opposite of everything we feared. The staff treats her like their own grandmother.
Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's two years ago. From our very first visit to TrueNest, we knew this was the place. The caregivers are patient, kind, and truly understand what he needs. He lights up when he sees them every morning.
My husband moved to TrueNest after I could no longer care for him at home. It was the hardest decision, but the best one. The food is wonderful, the staff is like family, and I know he is safe and loved every single day.
