Dear Friends,
We are pleased to present the 2014 Sharon Towers’ Annual Report for your review.
The year was one of thoughtful planning, welcome renewal and continued giving.
After many months of hard work Sharon Towers was successful in obtaining its
Medicare certification, which allows our residents to access their Medicare Part
A benefits while in our Health Care Center. Plants to admit outside community
members in need of short-term rehabilitation stays are scheduled for the first quarter
of 2015.
Our Board of Directors also completed a new strategic plan for our community. Key
initiatives within the plan include developing a culture of wellness and vitality and
creating a memory care continuum. The Board, residents and staff are excited about these initiatives and the
possibilities they provide moving forward.
We were also fortunate to reach an agreement with our neighbors to purchase the two parcels immediately
adjacent to our entrance/exit drive. This additional 2.5 acres will provide Sharon Towers’ options as the Board
plans for the future of our community. We are pleased to say that Sharon Towers now owns all the property
fronting Sharon Road from Hazelton Drive to Eastburn Road.
We continue to work on renewing our campus and facilities. Our year began with the re-landscaping of our
front circle and main entrance. Trees were removed to open the area up and bring in more light. A beautiful
statue, lovingly named “Joy” by our residents, was placed as a focal point and is surrounded by comfortable
seating and lovely plantings. We also completed a major redecoration project, totally refurbishing our first
floor south and west lobbies and corridors. The residents have been very pleased with the finished product and
enjoy seeing the artwork and photography created by local artists, including a few of our residents.
In keeping with our mission, Sharon Towers provided $836,860 in financial assistance to both residents
and prospective residents unable to financially qualify to come to our community. This monetary support is
representative of the true caring nature of our donors.
We both want to thank you for your interest and support of our community.

Sharon Towers’ Community Benefit
Seeking opportunities to serve each other and the greater community is a value held high by the residents and team
members at Sharon Towers. Throughout 2014, we partnered with several local non-profit organizations to provide
goods, services and meeting spaces.
We continued to support the Carolina
Piedmont Chapter of the ALZHEIMER’S
ASSOCIATION throughout the year. On
a monthly basis, Sharon Towers hosts an
Alzheimer’s and Related Diseases Support Group
for family and friends of those who have or are
in the early stages of dementia. In the summer,
we also raised funds for increased awareness and
medical research through our participation in the
annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year, the
Sharon Towers team won the “Senior Cup” by

walk begins.
raising $9,135 for Alzheimer’s research.
Our Dining Services Department and resident
volunteers help us make sandwiches for the
AVONDALE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
BAG MEAL MINISTRY AND CRISIS
ASSISTANCE MINISTRY. Each week we
assemble meals for the homeless and/or those
waiting in line for services at CRISIS. In 2014,
our “sandwich makers” produced 6,540 lunches.
Residents and team members happily welcome the Alzheimer’s
Association “Senior Cup” back to Sharon Towers after raising nearly
$10,000 for Alzheimer’s research.
We collect school supplies and Boxtops for
Education for CLASSROOM CENTRAL. Our
resident Knitter’s Unite group meets monthly to
share patterns, knit, crochet, spend time together
and support CLASSROOM CENTRAL with
their craft. Our residents provided over 850
hand-made hats and scarves for children who
could not afford warm clothing.

organizations use our facilities throughout the
year for meetings and gatherings. PROVIDING
A MEETING SPACE for various organizations
allows Sharon Towers to showcase our beautiful
community, all while providing a convenient
meeting space to our friends in the community.
The TREASURE CHEST, our in-house thrift
store, has a staff of 15 highly dedicated resident
volunteers who invest countless hours of time

and tons of energy working to collect, market
and sell clothes, shoes and accessories with all
profits going to fund needed equipment for
our Assisted Living and Health Care residents.
Treasure Chest volunteers occasionally identify
goods that do not fit in with our regular
merchandise and these items are delivered to
CRISIS ASSISTANCE with our bi-weekly
lunch ministry. Our grand event for 2014 was a
Fashion Show that raised funds, showcased staff
and resident models. The celebrity host for the
evening was Charlotte Observer Fashion Editor,

Residents’ Assistance Program
Since our doors opened in 1969, Sharon Towers has been guided by our
mission to be a retirement community that provides a loving and caring
atmosphere and meets the needs of those who live here. One part of
this mission is to provide financial assistance to residents and prospective
residents through our Residents’ Assistance Program.
Gifts made annually by donors to the Residents’ Assistance Fund allow
Sharon Towers to provide financial support in the form of waived
Entrance Fees or, most commonly, monthly service fee assistance
to residents and potential residents. These recipients, who remain
anonymous, are our friends and neighbors who have proudly paid their
way their entire life but now find themselves unable to afford the increased
costs of care during retirement.
Sharon Towers is blessed by donors who choose to share their material blessings with us either by making an in-kind
or monetary contribution to Sharon Towers and the Residents’ Assistance Fund. Funds raised each year ensure that
Sharon Towers can continue to meet the overall needs of our residents and provide financial assistance to those who
need it. In 2014, thanks to the generous support of foundations, churches and individuals, Sharon Towers received
$687,225, with $296,025 designated toward the Residents’ Assistance Program.
Thanks to the kindness of donors like you, Sharon Towers in 2014 was able to help twenty-five individuals through
the Residents’ Assistance Program and continue our mission of caring for all those who call Sharon Towers home.
