Lake Wylie Assisted Living & Memory Care offers two distinct levels of support. Residents who need help with daily tasks but want to maintain independence can opt for Assisted Living, while those experiencing Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia are served in a purpose-built Memory Care neighborhood. Both programs are designed to adjust care plans as needs change so that residents do not have to relocate when additional assistance becomes necessary.

Medical oversight is built into daily routines. On-site physicians coordinate care, respite and short-term stays are accepted, and the team is trained to manage diabetes—including glucose monitoring and medication assistance. A speech therapist visits regularly to address communication or swallowing concerns. The community is fully secured to reduce the risk of wandering, and staff perform a daily “up and about” check to verify each resident’s well-being.

Apartments are available in several floor plans, and while features vary, many include kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable or satellite TV access, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Select units also offer views of the outdoor areas or a central fireplace. Maintenance, housekeeping, utilities, and parking are provided, and the campus is pet-friendly for residents who meet community guidelines.

Dining is structured but flexible. Three chef-prepared meals are offered each day, with an all-day menu for residents who prefer different dining times. Guests can join for meals, and a private dining room is available for family events. The kitchen accommodates vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar diets, using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients when possible. Snacks are stocked throughout the day to support varying appetites and diabetes management.

Recreational and therapeutic programming includes an activity center, library and computer lounge, fitness and yoga classes, social outings, live music, birthday celebrations, dances, and happy hours. Residents can join clubs, tend raised garden beds, and participate in Montessori-inspired, reminiscence, sensory, or intergenerational programs that align with Memory Care objectives.
