City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
NC DHSR Star Rating (0–4 stars). Issued by North Carolina's Division of Health Service Regulation based on annual facility inspections. Stars reflect overall compliance with state health and safety rules - 4 stars requires scores of 100+ on two consecutive annual inspections. Ratings can change between inspections if new violations or licensure actions occur.
DHSR Quality Score (/200). Each annual inspection starts at a base of 100 points. 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.
Share of inspections that resulted in deficiencies, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Overview of The Haven in the Village at Carolina Place

The Haven in the Village at Carolina Place sits at 13150 Dorman Road in Pineville, North Carolina, a suburban town south of Charlotte. It offers assisted living alongside SHINE® Memory Care, so the community serves both residents who need help with daily tasks and residents living with dementia. The Walk Score of 56 puts it in moderately walkable territory, meaning some errands work on foot.

Sixty beds are licensed here, and 20 of them are filled; that works out to 33 percent occupancy. For a family that needs placement soon, availability is not the constraint it would be at a fuller building. Staffing runs around the clock rather than during daytime shifts only. Beyond the two care tracks, the community operates a Military Veterans Program and fills the calendar with daily activities and events.

Meals come chef-prepared, and the building holds a beauty salon and barber shop, a game and activity room, and a health and wellness center. A courtyard with a walking path gives residents somewhere to go outdoors without leaving the grounds. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled transportation cover the routine logistics, and small pets are welcome.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation, oversees this community. Inspection themes have centered on fire-safety systems and on care planning and documentation. Taken with the low occupancy and the round-the-clock staffing, the record here describes a mid-sized community with room available and oversight attention focused on physical plant and paperwork rather than on hands-on care delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Pineville, NC

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in North Carolina?

Assisted living in North Carolina supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in North Carolina?

Assisted living in North Carolina is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does North Carolina Medicaid cover assisted living?

North Carolina Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including North Carolina) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 23 assisted living facilities in Pineville, NC. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Pineville, NC?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pineville, NC, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Pineville, NC?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
