Twin Lakes began as a legacy of the family of Wade G. and Agnes Coble. As members of Macedonia Lutheran Church, the Cobles left a bequest of $3.5 million to the church to establish health services for the elderly in Alamance County. The local church formed Lutheran Retirement Ministries of Alamance County NC and began the mission which became Twin Lakes Community. Twin Lakes first opened its doors in April 1983 with the Coble Healthcare Building, three apartment buildings and ten cottages. Twin Lakes has become home to many Alamance County natives as well as residents from a variety of locations throughout the United States. As Twin Lakes succeeds and demand increases, the expansions have taken place to create a campus of over 300 independent living homes. And Twin Lakes continues to grow!

Twin Lakes is located on the border of Elon and Burlington, North Carolina. Burlington is a cozy town that has become a convenient residential community for professionals working anywhere from the Raleigh/Durham Triangle to the Greensboro/Winston-Salem Triad areas. Its historic pride is apparent in the restored railroad depot, a restored Dentzel Carousel and the local historic district. The people, the area, the events all converge to create a small town atmosphere enriched with activities to enhance one's lifestyle. Elon is a small university village and home to Elon University, a liberal arts university that provides intellectual and cultural events for Burlington and the surrounding area. Residents of Twin Lakes often attend performances of musicians, theater productions, or public speakers such as Walter Cronkite and Desmond Tutu. With its close proximity to Twin Lakes, Elon University is a wonderful resource for entertainment and mental stimulation.

Hospitals and airports are also in close proximity to Twin Lakes Community. Medical care is easily accessible with Alamance Regional Medical Center, a new, regional hospital located within five minutes drive of the Twin Lakes campus.
