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.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
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.

The Parc at Sharon Amity

4025 N. Sharon Amity Road Charlotte, Nc 28205, Charlotte, NC 28205
Overview of The Parc at Sharon Amity

The Parc at Sharon Amity does business from Charlotte, NC, with assisted living, respite care, and memory care all licensed to it. Assisted living is where a resident receives help with their daily tasks.

Respite care puts the caregiving in another’s hands for a defined stretch, which is the only way caregivers get to be somewhere else.

So, the fit is a person needing secured memory care, or a family caregiver arranging cover for a while. Sixty-four beds are licensed here, and the accepted payment includes Medicaid, a route open to families already carrying that coverage.

A Walk Score of 44 means the car does most of the work getting around the area here, and an errand starts by finding a driver. Transportation is available for anyone needing the ride.

Overview of Blissful Living Senior Care

At six beds, Blissful Living Senior Care, INC. is a residential care home rather than a traditional assisted living facility. That distinction matters: the Silverwood neighborhood address on Robinson Church Road in Charlotte puts residents in a house-scale setting in Mecklenburg County, about 8.5 miles from the city center. The neighborhood scores a 5 on the Walk Score scale, so a car is required for virtually any errand or outing outside the home.

The care model covers more ground than the size might suggest. Assisted living is the baseline, and the home also supports hospice care, memory care, and respite stays, so residents with more complex or shifting needs don’t necessarily have to move. Licensed nurses and CNAs provide round-the-clock coverage. The administrator, Martin Anuonye, is a licensed nurse himself, which means clinical oversight comes from the top. Angela Ezekwe-Anuonye serves as Vice President.

State inspections have generally centered on medication management, documentation and care planning, and staffing qualifications as recurring areas of attention.

For families who have looked at larger assisted living communities and found them impersonal, a six-bed home with licensed nursing on staff around the clock and the capacity to support hospice and memory care through end of life represents a meaningfully different option. That’s what Blissful Living is built to be.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Charlotte, 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.

Does North Carolina Medicaid cover memory care?

North Carolina Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
