Morningside of Gastonia offers two levels of residential care: Assisted Living for residents who need help with daily routines and Memory Care for those living with cognitive changes, including moderate dementia. The health team can monitor residents who manage diabetes with oral medications and can adjust care plans as needs change. On-site clinicians provide medication management, incontinence support, ambulatory care and coordination of hospice services, allowing most medical needs to be addressed without leaving the community. Access to occupational therapy, physical therapy and podiatry is arranged on the premises, which helps reduce outside appointments and streamlines follow-up care.

Around-the-clock oversight is anchored by licensed nurses—both RNs and LPNs—supported by caregivers who have cleared background checks and remain awake through the night. Emergency pull cords in apartments alert staff at once, and an activity director designs programs that fit each resident’s abilities. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and staff are trained in safe transfers, whether a resident walks with a cane, uses a wheelchair or needs a one-person lift. These services are delivered according to individual care plans that are reviewed regularly.

Apartments at Morningside of Gastonia are designed for practicality. Many units include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls and cable access, and housekeeping is provided. Scheduled laundry services help residents keep clothing and linens fresh. Because floor plans vary, prospective residents should confirm which specific features are included in the suite they select.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary staff can modify textures or manage special diets as ordered by a physician or dietitian, ensuring residents with diabetes, swallowing concerns or other dietary needs receive appropriate meals. Staff can assist fully with eating when required, so everyone can finish meals safely and with dignity.

Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, internet, communal gardens, a library and organized clubs that focus on special interests. Concierge assistance helps arrange appointments and coordinate daily requests, and a shuttle is available for medical outings.
