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.
