Shad's Landing is an independent-living community, so residents manage their own daily routines while having access to supportive services as needed. A licensed speech therapist is available on site for scheduled sessions, giving residents a direct resource for communication and swallowing concerns without leaving the property. This therapy option is integrated into each resident’s personal service plan and can be adjusted as needs change.
Beyond speech therapy, the community maintains staff on duty around the clock to respond to emergencies, perform wellness checks, and coordinate outside medical appointments when requested. Residents can obtain assistance with medication management, transportation to physicians, and arrangements for ancillary services such as physical or occupational therapy delivered by external providers. An emergency call system in every apartment links residents quickly to trained personnel.
Apartments at Shad's Landing vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature. Available options can include cable or satellite TV hookups, Wi-Fi, independent temperature controls, kitchenettes, private bathrooms with wheelchair-accessible showers, balconies or patios, and the choice to paint or decorate. Some floor plans also offer features such as a central fireplace, deck access, or a pet-friendly policy. Housekeeping is provided, parking is available, and common areas such as a piano lounge are climate-controlled and handicap accessible.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three meals daily, with guest meals and private dining rooms available for family visits. Menus can accommodate low- or no-sodium and no-sugar requests, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. For residents who prefer more flexibility, in-room dining can be arranged, allowing meals to be taken in the apartment’s kitchenette or living area. International dishes appear regularly on the rotating menu to keep options varied.
Community amenities include an activity center, raised garden beds, fitness programs, a library and computer lounge, and access to a swimming pool. Social events such as birthday parties, dances, live-music evenings, and scheduled outings into Charlotte take place throughout the month. Outdoor areas are open to residents who wish to spend time outside or tend the gardens, and all gatherings are organized to support resident interests and mobility levels.
