Overview of Phoenix Assisted Care

Phoenix Assisted Care provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Cary, NC, with 120 beds and private and semi-private rooms. A private room offers individual accommodation, while a semi-private room suits someone who is comfortable sharing with a roommate.

Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, transfers, activities of daily living, and medication management. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision, while respite care offers a short-term stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

Rehabilitation services are available through the community, so residents can receive therapy without arranging every session elsewhere. A library provides a dedicated place to read, and scheduled daily activities offer organized ways to participate, while the mental wellness program focuses on residents’ mental well-being. Meals are prepared on-site with diabetic-friendly options and other specialized dietary restrictions, and assistance with special dietary restrictions and diabetes diets is included in the care programs.
