Overview of The Gardens of Trent

Facebook

The Gardens of Trent provides memory care in New Bern, North Carolina. The community is built for residents living with dementia, and its secured setting is the center of how it operates. Its location scores a 76 for walkability, which means most errands sit within a short walk and family members can get around the area on foot.

The community holds 60 beds and is home to 52 residents right now, putting occupancy at 87 percent. Residents live in a secured environment shaped around dementia care, where the day has structure and the exits stay controlled. Nursing services are available, and staff are on-site 24 hours a day. That around-the-clock coverage matters most for the overnight hours, when a resident may need help and set-shift staffing would leave a gap.

Housekeeping, maintenance, and transportation are all handled in-house. Meals come restaurant-style in a shared dining room. Residents also have a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area, so there is space to read, gather, or step outside without leaving the secured grounds.

For families weighing cost, the community accepts Medicaid. That gives households a coverage route when private pay alone is not the plan.

What the record describes is a secured memory care community in a walkable stretch of New Bern, staffed around the clock and set up for the daily rhythms of residents living with dementia.
