Overview of The Sanctuary at Stonehaven
The Sanctuary at Stonehaven provides memory care at 6741 Ciscayne Pl in Charlotte’s Mecklenburg County, a six-resident facility housed in a single-story building designed for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The small community emphasizes specialized staffing trained in cognitive impairment, with higher caregiver-to-resident ratios supporting residents requiring memory care oversight and supervision.
Daily life includes dining, beauty services, recreational and exercise programming, health services, and housekeeping assistance. Transportation services help families navigate medical appointments and errands, though the neighborhood itself is car-dependent (Walk Score 3); the facility sits 7.7 miles from downtown Charlotte, placing it near regional healthcare but in a low-walkability area.
The facility’s regulatory record shows significant strengths. Across seven state inspections since 2018, it recorded nine deficiencies; 80% fewer than the North Carolina state average of 46 over the same period. The facility’s DHSR quality score of 103.5 exceeds the state average of 98.
No fines, enforcement actions, or immediate jeopardy findings appear in the regulatory record.
However, inspection reports identify a persistent pattern: medication management and staff training deficiencies have appeared across multiple years (2018, 2019, 2021) without demonstrated full resolution. The most recent 2021 inspection documented expired staff CPR certification and a missed medication dose spanning 60 days. Earlier inspections cited medication labeling, documentation, storage, and physician order implementation gaps. The trajectory shows no clear improvement or decline.
This community fits families seeking a small, highly supervised memory care setting where residents receive individualized attention in a contained environment, with regulatory oversight showing notably lower deficiency rates than average.
