Carmel Hills in Charlotte provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living. The community is equipped to handle residents who wander in the morning or evening, remain awake through the night, require wound care, oxygen management, or need specialized diets. Diabetic management ranges from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale coverage. The community does not offer dedicated dementia programming, so families seeking memory care will need to look elsewhere.
An RN or LPN is on staff, and all employees undergo background checks. Podiatry services are available on site, reducing the need for outside appointments. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on help. Transfer support can accommodate a walker, wheelchair, standby or supervised moves, one-person and two-person transfers, and full-body lifts with a Hoyer if required.
Apartments vary, so not every unit includes every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished living space, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate. Residents start with a set menu in the dining room, but snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen can manage physician-ordered diet modifications.
Independent Living residents can opt into housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to keep their own schedule while still having support close at hand.
Resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services are part of daily life. Scheduled transportation is offered, and the location is close to public transit for added convenience. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
