Camellia Gardens in Durham, NC, is licensed as an assisted-living community, giving residents access to round-the-clock support with activities of daily living as well as routine monitoring by trained caregivers. The team is prepared to serve adults who are under 60 and need the structure and oversight offered in an assisted-living setting.

An emergency call system and 24-hour staffing allow residents to receive prompt attention for urgent needs.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community offers practical services that make daily life more manageable.

Regular wellness checks, fall-prevention programs, and family communication rounds out the support designed to keep residents stable and functioning at their highest possible level.
