Brookdale South Charlotte offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming that supports residents living with early to advanced dementia. The clinical team manages behaviors such as wandering during the day or night and works to reduce elopement risk. Nurses monitor residents who are up all night and coordinate wound care, oxygen therapy and special diet requirements. Younger adults who need support are accepted, and diabetes management covers oral medications, injections and sliding-scale monitoring. On-site podiatry visits help residents maintain foot health, particularly important for those with diabetes.
An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and 24-hour security staff monitor a fenced perimeter, alarmed doors, pull-cord alerts and personal emergency response systems. Caregivers provide total assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they are trained to perform walker and wheelchair transfers, standby assists, and one- or two-person lifts as needed. An activity director organizes daily engagement while clinical staff focus on consistent health oversight.
Apartments vary in layout and not every unit includes every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, basic furnishings, independent climate controls, cable service and the ability to paint or decorate the space. Residents who prefer to bring their own furniture or décor can do so after consulting with staff to ensure safety and accessibility.
Meals are served in a communal dining room with a standard rotating menu, and residents may order alternate selections at each meal period. Snacks are available between meals, and the kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic or texture-modified plans. Staff provide full assistance with eating for residents who need help.
The community provides resident parking, exterior smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach appointments or nearby shopping, and the property is close to public transit options. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
