Mill Creek Manor sits at 1902 Ora Drive in Statesville, North Carolina. The community holds licenses for assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so a resident whose needs change can often stay at the same address instead of moving somewhere new. Walkability here is strong, scoring 81 out of 100, which puts most everyday errands within reach on foot.
The community is licensed for 80 beds and currently serves 65 residents. That works out to 81 percent occupancy, so rooms are open for families who need placement in the near term.
