Overview of The Post at Providence Assisted Living

The Post at Providence Assisted Living is a small assisted living home on Esherwood Lane in the Providence Plantation neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. It is a single story building with six beds, and it has been serving families for five years under Ms. Megan Govender, who is President and Co-Owner. Residents can choose between private and semi private rooms, and the home sits about four and a half miles from Novant Health Matthews Medical Center.

The defining feature here is scale. With a staff to resident ratio of 1 to 3 and a team of 40 employees supporting a six bed home, residents receive a level of daily attention that larger communities are rarely structured to provide. That setup suits an older adult who does better in a quiet, house style setting than in a bustling campus, and it means caregivers come to know each resident’s routine and preferences closely.

The home offers on site transportation, which matters in this part of Charlotte. The neighborhood scores 7 out of 100 for walkability, so most errands and appointments involve a car, and having rides arranged through the community keeps residents connected to doctors, shopping, and outings without depending entirely on family schedules. Fitness and recreation are available on site as well, giving residents a way to stay active within the home itself.

Families weighing a small home against a larger community will find this one firmly in the first category, built around close personal care in a residential Charlotte setting.

NC DHSR Star Rating (0–4 stars). Issued by North Carolina's Division of Health Service Regulation based on annual facility inspections.

Facilities earn demerit points for violations and citations, and merit points for correcting issues, maintaining resident/family councils, sprinkler systems, and other quality programs. The "/200" display reflects the two most recent annual inspections combined - giving a longer-term view of compliance trends rather than a single snapshot.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
