Overview of The Drake

The Drake sits at 1195 Drake Mill Lane SW in Concord, Cabarrus County, about 20 miles northeast of Charlotte. It’s a 66-bed community offering assisted living, memory care, and a secured living program. The neighborhood is car-dependent, so residents and visiting family will plan around driving rather than walking to nearby errands.

Occupancy currently runs at 25 of the 66 beds, close to 38 percent. Inside, the care model centers on 24-hour staffing and a secured environment for residents who need consistent supervision, paired with respite care for families arranging short-term coverage. Shared spaces include restaurant-style dining, a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area, with housekeeping, transportation, and maintenance handled by staff.

Regulatory reviews of The Drake have centered on medication management, staffing and staff credentials, and fall and injury prevention. Those three categories are the ones state inspectors return to most often when evaluating assisted living communities across North Carolina.

Medicaid coverage is accepted here, giving families a payment pathway for longer stays. Between the secured living setup, the staffing model, and the memory care designation, The Drake is built around residents who need steady oversight and structured support rather than an independent living arrangement.
