Granite Falls, North Carolina is a small town with about 4,965 residents, according to the 2020 Granite Falls census. The town's name comes from the way the water splashes over the granite boulders around Gunpowder Creek. It is a beautiful and welcoming town, and though it is small, the people who live here tend to stick around because of their love for their community. 

It is also a great place to stop and rest because it sits right between Lenoir and Hickory. 

Estimates say that about 15% of the residents in Granite Falls are over the age of 65. This means that there are many residents in the area who are reaching the age where it may begin to be harder or less ideal to live at home. Yet, these same people may not want to leave their homes or the town that they love. 

To help make staying in the area easier, the town and surrounding areas have many things for this aging population to do and resources for them to use when they need help. 

For those who are into fitness and keeping their health and flexibility for as long as possible, the local Parks and Recreation office offers adult classes and activities such as yoga and pickleball. 

If you want to pay your respects to the veterans from the area, you can head over to the Veterans’ Monument. 

You can also check out books and multimedia or use the computers in the local library. 

There are also several parks in Granite Falls, including a dog park for any pet owners interested in this area. 

With all of the great things the town has to offer, it is no wonder that senior residents look for ways to stay at home. This is where Visiting Angels’ home care services can really be useful.
