ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to present the 2015 Sharon Towers’ Annual Report for your review. The year was one of
growth and change.
After many months of planning, Sharon Towers broke ground on its first Magnolia Villa in August. This
three story Villa will house eighteen independent living apartments ranging from approximately 1,350 to
1,990 square feet with underbuilding parking. It has been exciting to watch construction as it rises out
of the ground. Plans are underway to begin site work for our second Magnolia Villa in early 2016. The
Villa additions are part of a larger campus master plan created to enable the future extensive renovation/
addition to our Health Care Center.
Also, in keeping with our strategic plan, Sharon Towers began admitting individuals from the greater
community into its short-term rehab unit in March. An unexpected benefit of these temporary outside
admissions is the request of several to make Sharon Towers their permanent home.
In July, Sharon Towers underwent its annual Medicare Certification survey. The survey resulted in zero
deficiencies, which automatically gave Sharon Towers a five star rating (the top rating) with the Centers for
Medicare/Medicaid Services. As of the writing of this letter, Sharon Towers is one of only two facilities in
the Charlotte area that has a five star rating across the board (overall, quality measures, staffing, and health
inspections).
As always, our mission to care for those with limited or depleted financial resources continues. Sharon
Towers provided $885,843 in financial assistance to both residents and prospective residents unable to
financially qualify to come to our community. It is difficult to adequately express our gratitude to the
many generous donors who make the assistance we provide possible.
We thank you all for your continued interest and support of our Sharon Towers family.

SHARON TOWERS
The Sharon Towers Community
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 2015, we
partnered with several local non-profit
organizations to provide goods, services
and meeting spaces.
ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION:
We find that virtually everyone at Sharon
Towers has known someone affected by the
degenerative disease of Alzheimer’s. As a
result of this close tie we partner with and
support the Carolina Piedmont Chapter of
the Alzheimer’s Association. 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 beginning to suffer from, dementia.
This group is open to residents, families,
team members, friends and members of
the greater community. Rooms are also
provided for the Association’s Annual Walk
Committee and Board of Directors for
meeting space throughout the year.

BAG MEAL MINISTRY:
If you find yourself at Sharon Towers on a Thursday afternoon
around 4pm, you are likely to see an interesting phenomenon residents and team members converging on the Sharon Room from
virtually every direction. We are getting together to make bag meals
for the homeless, which will later be delivered by volunteers from
Avondale Presbyterian. Each week we assemble meals that consist
of a meat and cheese sandwich, Lance crackers, a fruit cup, Fig
Newtons and a bottle of water. In 2015, the “sandwich makers”

produced 2,940 bagged meals.
CLASSROOM CENTRAL:
Classroom Central gives a rather unusual shopping opportunity
to teachers of school-aged children living in poverty and supports
Mecklenburg as well as six other surrounding counties. Classroom
Central solicits and accepts donations of goods and supplies which
will help support impoverished children, then opens its’ doors to
their teachers to come and select any materials they like for free. To
assist in this effort, residents and team members hosted a summer
School Tools Drive and managed to collect over 100 individual
school supply items! We also collected $565 in cash donations.

Further, our Knitter’s Unite group meets monthly to share patterns,
knit, crochet, spend time together and support Classroom Central
in a most loving way. In 2015, resident members of Knitter’s
United hand-made over 942 individual hats and scarves for
children who could not afford warm clothing. As an adjunct to
this program, we saved “Boxtops for Education” to assist teachers
through Classroom Central. Residents are encouraged to clip their
“Boxtops for Education” from everyday grocery products, bring
them to the Resident Resource Center, then we bundle them for
MEETING SPACES:
haron Towers is blessed to have many rooms available for groups,
church circles and community organizations to meet. Over
25 churches and community 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 facility all while providing a convenient
meeting space to our friends in the community.

Our Health Care and Assisted Living residents volunteer hours of
their time clipping coupons for Coupons for Servicemen. Each
month residents clip coupons, which are then sorted and mailed to
a military base. Servicemen and their families are able to use the
coupons on the base, even if they are expired!
CRISIS ASSISTANCE:
Sharon Towers began partnering with Crisis Assistance in 2008
and provides 150 bag lunches, every other week, for those receiving
assistance at the agency during their lunch break. Bag lunches
are delivered by our team members and we served 3,600 lunches
invited to shop in the Treasure Chest for tremendous bargains on
donated merchandise. The Treasure Chest has a staff of 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 enrich the lives of those
living in Assisted Living and Health Care. Our grand event for
2015 was a Silent Auction in conjunction with a Trivia Night for
residents. Overall the Treasure Chest raised almost $13,000 in 2015
and with those funds was able to purchase the iN2L (It’s Never Too
Late) interactive computer system to be used in Health Care and
Assisted Living.
in 2015. Also each week our Treasure Chest volunteers determine
which goods we have received as donations, but do not fit in with
our other merchandise. We then pack those clothes, shoes and
accessories and send them to Crisis Assistance with our bi-weekly
lunch ministry.

Residents’ Assistance Fund
Imagine if your health started to decline and you had to seek skilled nursing care earlier than you
expected thus depleting your savings. What would you do if your mother or father needed your help
financially, but you were unable to come to their aid? Many of our residents and families face these
dilemmas each year, which could lead to despair. Thanks to Sharon Towers’ Residents’ Assistance Fund,
residents and their loved ones are assured that he or she will be
taken care of whether they need help with monthly service fees,
medication or getting their hair done.
The Residents’ Assistance fund goes to the heart of Sharon
Towers’ mission – enriching the lives of those we serve by
providing a nurturing environment that foster joy, purpose and
wellbeing. One daughter writes. “I was enormously relieved
at the help we found for our mother. Her income was simply
inadequate for her new status and I lacked the resources to
underwrite her needs as well. The help which Sharon Towers
was able to offer my mother allowed her to continue and find
ways to navigate her reduced physical world with confidence
Words cannot express how
deeply comforting it has been
knowing my mother could stay
in her home because of the
Residents’ Assistance Fund.
It has truly been an enormous
blessing to our family.
and peace of mind.”
Gifts made to the Residents’ Assistance Fund make a difference in the lives of those living
at Sharon Towers every day, whether large or small. In 2015, thanks to the generosity of
our loyal donors, Sharon Towers provided $885, 843 in financial assistance to twentytwo residents and prospective residents. Providing the funds for those in need while
maintaining their dignity is an amazing gift to give.

Magnolia Villas
Excitement is building as Sharon Towers moves forward in shaping its future, the look of our
campus and the construction of the Magnolia Villas. After years of planning the Board of
Directors of Sharon Towers voted to move forward with our Master Campus Plan in 2015,
outlining a new approach to serving our residents and the aging population of Charlotte.
The plan calls for expanded amenity space; different types of recreational and engaging
programs and opportunities; and new types of living accommodations on our campus. The
emphasis is to serve the whole individual and foster a culture where joy, purpose and wellbeing is embedded in every aspect of the community.
Residents, current and former Board members, family members, team members and friends
of Sharon Towers gathered in April to celebrate the ground breaking of the first of many
expansions at Sharon Towers. Anne Moffat, CEO stated in her speech “the Villas are an
extension of Sharon Towers strategic plan.”
With the bulldozers ready to take the plunge, construction came to a halt thanks to several
new residents - two endangered Red-tailed hawks and their two babies. Red-tailed hawks
are legally protected in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, which meant that construction of
the new Villas would have to wait. Under the watchful eyes of residents, staff and Omega
Construction, the babies hatched and later learned to fly. News travelled fast that the couple
and their babies had flown the nest and soon dirt at the construction site began to move.
Construction of Magnolia Villa I is scheduled to be complete in late summer 2016.
