Carolina Gardens at Garden City offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living programs. Residents who choose Assisted Living receive support with daily activities while retaining as much autonomy as possible. Those in Independent Living enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle with optional access to services if health needs change. The dual-tier approach lets couples with different care requirements remain in the same community and allows individuals to transition smoothly between service levels without relocating.

Beyond basic living options, the community supplies short-term respite stays for recovery or caregiver relief, specialized diabetes oversight, and on-site speech therapy. An emergency call system links each resident to staff around the clock. Nurses coordinate medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, memory care, and hospice services. Occupational and physical therapists visit the building so residents do not have to travel for rehabilitation and strength programs.

Apartments are pet friendly and designed with practical features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, 2-inch blinds, wall-to-wall flooring, and individual climate control. Select units add kitchenettes, balconies, patios, or decks, while Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and parking are available community-wide. Outdoor lounging areas and a piano or organ in common spaces support casual gatherings. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served under an all-day dining model, so residents can eat on their own schedules. Standard menus cover three daily meals plus snacks, with vegetarian choices always available. Staff monitor individual nutritional needs and coordinate with medical providers when modifications such as consistent-carbohydrate plans are required for diabetes management.

Daily life is rounded out with a library and computer lounge for reading or internet access, organized karaoke and birthday celebrations, a dedicated activity center, regular live-music sessions, and group social outings. Residents may also use the outdoor areas for relaxation and make use of the on-site swimming pool for exercise or recreation.
