Brookdale South Charlotte was a very nice facility. The staff was very friendly. The residents in the memory care unit itself seemed very happy. It’s very clean in appearance. The rooms were nice, but small. They have a lot of class, and they encourage the people to come out of their rooms and participate in the group events. I didn’t see a list of things they did, but the staff talked about the activities. I spoke with the director of the memory care unit. I saw them rolling the food in for the residents, and it’s very well prepared and looked very good.

Sunrise on Providence was the other one that I went to visit that had a hoyer lift, but we cannot afford them. It’s beautiful and they were nice, but all the bells and whistles that they had were why it cost so much, and with my mom almost really being in a comatose state, she isn’t gonna benefit from any of those things. If she had been up and active, ambulatory, engaged, and doing all the stuff, it might have been worth it, but there’s no way we could pay that for her to just lay in the bed. The staff member was excellent, and knew what she was doing, and what she was talking about.
There are some pages that you can go to and look at all the different ratings for assisted living in North Carolina, and Sunrise on Providence had a couple of low ratings, so I asked the staff about that and she knew exactly what was going on and how they were addressing it, so that was good. She was very professional and very on top of it.
It was during COVID, so I had a very limited tour. They put me into the building downstairs to where the memory care was, but I could not go into the unit. They were concerned about COVID.
It’s a new facility, very clean, and no bad smell. They had a pond in the back that I particularly liked. The facility itself looked like a big old home with a big front porch. It was very welcoming, very clean, and very nice. When I told them that my mother needed 24/7 care and that she needed the hoyer lift, they said they could handle that.

My mother has lived at Brighton Gardens for 5 years. Initially she lived in assisted living and then transferred to the dementia unit where she has been for the last 18 months. There is high turnover of unit managers as well as care team members. This affects continuity of care. Family must start over with developing relationship each time there is a change and communication is a constant challenge. There have been a few truly caring caretakers and managers, but a lot of bad apples. I would have moved my mother, but a family member felt a move would have a more negative effect on her than staying. I have had no confidence in her care and must constantly advocate for her. I can not recommend Brighton Gardens of Charlotte.

This place is fantastic. Very homey with an excellent staff. My father spent his last few months of life at The Post and we could not have been happier with his care and comfort there. Music plays a lot. All of the residents have their own recliners in the family room. A chef brings in meals every day so it always smells amazing at The Post. The staff loves the residents and they very much enjoy family and friends coming to visit. The rooms are large and very comfortable. I am so grateful that we found The Post and that my dad was able to be in such an amazing environment at the end. After he passed away, I stopped by to bring some flowers and visit with the staff/residents whom I came to love with my regular visits. The Post is unmatched to any place else we visited while searching for the perfect place for my sweet dad.

It is a difficult decision we face when it is time to place your loved one under someone else’s care. My family had the good fortune of my mom living under the care of Angela, Martin, Felicia and staff at Blissful Living Senior Care. We were so pleased and blessed to have had mom so loved and cared for while there. The attention she received and genuine concern for her well being immediately put our family at ease about our decision to move her in. The excellent communication from staff with the family was wonderful and so appreciated. It was comforting knowing she was attended to so well. I would recommend Blissful Living as an option for anyone looking to surround their loved one with thoughtful people in a loving home environment. The resident’s families became friends and we looked forward to seeing each other to catch up! We are thankful to the folks at Blissful Living for a great experience. Two thumbs up.

My mother just moved into Brookdale South Park. What made me move there was its close proximity to where mom was. She’s in memory care and they were very helpful in getting us what we needed to move in. The staff seems very friendly and accommodating. She does not articulate really well, but she seems to be eating and she seems happy. The place is laid out to accommodate each person in their location. It is kind of set up like a wagon wheel and each area is labeled, so if you are able to comprehend where you are, then you will know where you need to go. It appears very clean. She is getting her value’s worth for being there for such a short time. It is close to a hospital.

My mother-in-law was a resident of Summit Place of South Park. She has passed on now, but she stayed there. She started out in assisted living, and went all the way through to hospice. She was in assisted living first, then they moved her to memory care, and then she went to hospice.
They were wonderful. Everything about that place was wonderful. They took great care of her, and the rooms were nice. We really liked it, and the staff was wonderful.
The food was very good.
They had a gym where she could go and work out. They had personal trainers that would come. Of course, we had to pay extra to schedule those. They had a beauty salon and a nail salon, a nice dining hall, a theater room where they could watch movies, and a game room where they could play cards or bingo. They had an entertainment room where they had piano players come and play piano for them and sing. They had a lot of activities for them.
They also had a little courtyard as well. They don’t have as big of a courtyard as another community I toured; it was a very small area.

My husband was in Legacy Heights Community, and I would not recommend that place ever. He was in the memory care unit there. He had jewelry stolen, he would always beg me not to say anything because they would be mean to him. When he was hospitalized, they told me he could not go back. He was in the hospital for 2 weeks, and when I went into his room, it was disgusting. The bathroom was filthy, dirty clothes on the floor, unmade bed, and he had not been there for two weeks. When I went to collect all of his belongings, his wallet was missing, and there was some bedding missing. And it took them about 30 minutes to locate his walker, so that means they never even tried to get him up. The couple of staff members that I came in contact with once I could visit him, were fine. My husband said that the food wasn’t good, it wasn’t enough. The building was fine, but once you get inside the rooms it was filthy. They have lots of activities.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Charlotte
The Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation monitors long-term care communities in Charlotte and throughout the state. The agency is responsible for overseeing nursing care, activities of daily living, health and safety, rooms and other necessary services.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Charlotte
Charlotte has several top-ranked hospitals for the treatment of accidents, injuries and illnesses. The Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center is the number one hospital in Charlotte according to U.S. News and World Report as of 2021. The hospital performs well in four specialties and 14 procedures, including cancer care, neuroscience, surgery, trauma, pain management and transplants. Other hospitals in the area include the Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center and the CaroMont Regional Medical Center.
The Mecklenburg Transportation System (MTS) provides transportation for seniors aged 60 and older throughout Charlotte and the surrounding area. Rides are available for medical appointments, grocery shopping, errands and scheduled outings. All rides must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, and all vehicles are wheelchair accessible.
Compared to the national average, Charlotte is an affordable city for retirees thanks to its low cost of living. Seniors can expect to pay less for groceries, housing, utilities and transportation. From a tax standpoint, North Carolina is a moderately friendly state for seniors. Social Security and other retirement benefits aren’t taxed.
Charlotte has approximately 218 sunny days per year with July highs around 90 degrees and January lows around 30 degrees. The city only gets around 2 inches of snow per year, which may be ideal for those who are trying to escape colder temperatures up north.
Water quality is above average in the Charlotte area. This metric is very closely related to drinking water quality.
Paying for Memory Care in Charlotte
Memory care tends to cost between 20-30% more than assisted living due to the services provided, so we added 25% to the average cost of assisted living. Charlotte seniors can expect to pay around $5,500 per month according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey.

More Ways to Pay for Memory Care
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for memory care, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance memory care costs include:
Charlotte and the state of North Carolina have multiple resources for individuals with memory care issues. These programs help support research towards a cure and address the needs of those in memory care throughout the region.
The Dementia Alliance provides support to families and individuals through resources and education. The alliance also hosts events throughout the year with the proceeds going to memory care research. These events include sponsored bike rides, fashion shows and annual galas.
Also known as the Aging Center Family Support Program, this initiative was one of the first support groups for individuals with memory disorders in the state. The program offers tips on supporting those with memory disorders, free telephone help, assistance in locating support groups, websites, educational programs and books. The program provides free consultations to individuals and families with memory care problems.
Project CARE delivers programs and services that address the needs of those with Alzheimer’s and other cognitive impairments. Services include care consultations, caregiver education, community-based events and referrals.
The local Alzheimer’s Association supports research, risk reduction and early detection of memory care issues in seniors. The association hosts a variety of awareness campaigns to help raise concern about Alzheimer’s and other memory issues.
Dementia Capable North Carolina is a state task force against memory problems. The task force provides education, tries to reach underserved populations through education and distributes educational materials throughout the state.
