Meet Future Residents Bill and Jan Yager

We Couldn’t Believe Our Luck when we discovered Porters Neck Village! My curiosity was sparked when a new resident mentioned it while I was getting my nails done. Intrigued, we scheduled a visit—and what a surprise it was! We found a peaceful oasis, a welcoming community that felt just right.

We love the intimate size of PNV because it fosters genuine connections and friendships. The energy here is incredible—residents are truly happy and engaged. From social gatherings to fitness opportunities, the variety of activities is impressive. Each visit only strengthened our feeling that this was the perfect place for us.

During our first visit, we mentioned how important it was to find a truly pet-friendly community. That’s when we were introduced to Samson, the lovable office dog who comes to work every day with Susanne Delgrosso, the Director of Administrative Services. We learned that Samson had originally been part of the Canines for Services program before finding his forever home here at PNV. The moment I saw him, I couldn’t believe it—I recognized him instantly. As it turns out, Samson is the brother of our very own dog, Alvin, whom we had adopted years ago! Talk about meant to be!

Beyond the wonderful pet-friendly atmosphere, we love that PNV even has its own dedicated dog park, Central Bark—a perfect place for Alvin to run, play, and socialize. Add in the scenic walking trails, and it’s clear this is a place where pets are just as welcome as their owners!
The warmth of the staff has made a lasting impression on us. They are welcoming, helpful, and truly invested in the community. The dining experience is outstanding, not just because of the delicious food but also because of the wonderful team that serves it.
As we plan for the future, we know that having the right support system in place is essential. PNV offers the services we may need to comfortably age in place. But beyond the practical benefits, it’s the people who make this community special. Every resident we’ve met radiates enthusiasm for their life here—they genuinely love it. And now, we can’t wait to join them!
