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.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
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.

Overview of Hunter Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Owned by Steven Sheets, Hunter Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed skilled nursing home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted to give families several routes to fund short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.

Hunter Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits on Tom Hunter Road in a somewhat walkable neighborhood where within walking reach are some errands and services, though most visits need a brief drive. Averaging a stay length of 151 days, the facility serves post-acute residents recuperating from surgery or illness and those wanting ongoing care. Daily nursing support averages 3 hours 27 minutes per resident, built from a mix of registered nurses (20 minutes per day), licensed practical nurses (1 hour 5 minutes per day), and certified nursing aides (1 hour 37 minutes per day). This staffing composition provides consistent, diligent care alongside clinical oversight. The facility also maintains on-site therapy services, including physical, occupational, and speech-language pathology. These can lessen needing outside appointments and bolster occupants’ recovery and functional goals.

For families contemplating Hunter Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, an on-site tour is the best way to see it firsthand, meet the care team, and learn how the home structures its daily programs and services.

Brookdale Carriage Club Providence II

5816 Old Providence Road Charlotte, Nc 28226, Charlotte, NC 28226
Overview of Brookdale Carriage Club Providence II

Brookdale Carriage Club Providence II is found on Old Providence Road in the southern part of Charlotte, North Carolina. This big home works as a place where old people can stay forever, which means that help with daily life and medical care are all offered in one spot. The area has a very low score for walking, so you should expect to use a car whenever you need to go to the store or see a doctor.

The part for people who need a lot of medical help is small with only 34 beds, and right now 27 of those beds are being used. For health needs, the home helps people get stronger after being sick and gives family members a break from taking care of their loved ones. Workers are there to help at all times of the day and night. Every building is easy to move through with a wheelchair and has a special button to push if there is a sudden problem.

You can find a pool outside, a room for exercise, a place to read books, and a small church right on the land. In the yard, the people living there can enjoy paths for walking, a garden, a spot for golf, and a small pond for catching fish. Rides to places, help with chores, a hair shop, and extra rooms for family to stay in are also provided, and everyone eats together like they are at a food shop; animals are allowed to live there too.

The main things that leaders look at in the records are how medicine is given, the plans for taking care of people, and the tools for stopping fires.

Living there without much help starts at $3,430 every month, but the price goes up if you need more help with your memory or your body. The reports show a small place with many fun things to do in a part of Charlotte where you must drive, but it has the good point of changing how it helps you as you get older.

The Parc at Sharon Amity

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

Sixty-four beds sit at 4025 N. Sharon Amity Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Parc at Sharon Amity operates as an assisted living and memory care community, with respite stays available when a family needs shorter-term coverage. The surrounding streets earn a Walk Score of 44, which lands in somewhat walkable territory. A handful of destinations are reachable on foot, but most errands here mean getting into a vehicle.

Occupancy runs at 81%, so the building is neither full nor sparsely populated. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants handle resident care, and staffing coverage holds through the night rather than thinning after dinner. For residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, secured living is part of the setup. That secured component is what gives the memory care designation something concrete behind it.

Meals happen in a restaurant-style dining room. There is a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area for residents who want time outside the building. Transportation services run from the community, which carries real weight given how the neighborhood scores for walkability.

Inspection themes on record include medication management, care planning and documentation, and fire-safety systems. Emergency preparedness and resident rights and protections round out the reviewed areas.

Medicaid is accepted here. For families weighing what happens after private funds run down, that coverage pathway changes the arithmetic of a long stay. The Parc at Sharon Amity is built for older adults who need hands-on daily support, and for those whose memory loss calls for a secured environment with nursing staff present at every hour.

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.

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.
