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.

Opened four years ago, Terrabella Asheboro is a 96-bed assisted living and memory care community in the Laurel Wood Hills neighborhood of Asheboro, a car-dependent area at the outskirts of town. The one-story building offers both studio and one-bedroom floor plans. It welcomes pets to let residents keep their companions with them.

The facility sits on Zoo Parkway, with easy access to the Asheboro Zoo and associated recreational areas. Since the surrounding neighborhood is largely residential with limited pedestrian infrastructure, visiting family members will want transportation. The walk score reflects this car-centric setting. The home’s relatively recent opening positions it as a newer option in the Asheboro market, and the presence of assisted living and memory care services means it can serve occupants across care levels in one place.

Over the past decade, state inspections have documented findings about medication administration and documentation practices. Recent surveys flagged concerns with accurate dosing and controlled-substance record-keeping.

Families contemplating Terrabella Asheboro must ask during tours about how it has addressed compliance areas and what safeguards are implemented for medication oversight.

Overview of Ahoskie House

Ahoskie House runs from an address in Ahoskie, NC, with memory care on the license. Memory care is built for people living with dementia, and Secured Living is the name of the program here. What that comes to, for a resident, is a secured area under staff supervision.

The community has 60 beds, and staffing covers all twenty-four hours. Dementia that has reached the point of needing that kind of watching is the reason a family looks at this address.

At 61, the Walk Score puts a share of the surrounding streets within reach on foot, which matters most to a resident still steady enough to use them. Anything beyond that range is what the transportation amenity is for. Medicaid is taken as payment here.

Overview of The Bluefields

The Bluefields is a memory care community in Leland, NC, with a secured setting and supervision for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Its Secured Living program can be a fit for someone who needs a supervised environment because memory loss can create safety risks.

The community has 78 beds. Medicaid is accepted, which gives a resident whose savings may not cover a long stay another payment option. Restaurant-style dining includes dietitian-approved meals shaped around residents’ health needs, with special diets available for specific dietary requirements; a library, entertainment room, and outdoor common area provide places to read, enjoy indoor recreation, and spend time outside.

In High Point, NC, Piedmont Christian Home has assisted living and memory care under its license. Assisted living is the arrangement where bathing, dressing, and medication get help while the remainder of the day does not. Memory care handles a wandering risk by supervising the resident inside a secured setting.

Both levels belong to the same license here, which is what lets a resident’s needs change without the address changing with them. The bed count is 93.

Rehabilitation services are on-site, so therapy happens where the resident already lives. Dining runs as a named program, the Nutritious Dining Experience.

Overview of The Gardens of Hendersonville

The Gardens of Hendersonville provides memory care in Hendersonville, NC, with 60 beds. Its Secured Living program creates a supervised setting for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who may be at risk of wandering.

The community may be a good fit for someone who needs secure, supervised memory care. Restaurant-style dining provides prepared meals in a dedicated dining setting, and transportation services are available for resident transportation needs. An area Walk Score of 82 out of 100 means most errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to reach nearby shops, pharmacies or cafes independently. Medicaid is accepted, which may help a family whose savings may not cover a long stay.

Overview of Trinity Elms Assisted Living

Trinity Elms Assisted Living is a continuing care retirement community in Clemmons, NC, with independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision. Nursing home care and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Several care levels are available in one community. For a resident whose needs may grow over time, that can avoid a move to another community. The home has 104 beds and offers one bedroom and two bedroom layouts, with a one bedroom suiting a single resident and a two bedroom accommodating a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. The Health & Rehab program and short term rehab provide rehabilitation services during a temporary stay. A Walk Score of 30 out of 100 describes a car dependent setting, where most errands require a car or a ride.

Trinity Elms Assisted Living may be a good fit for a resident who wants private living, needs help with daily tasks, requires secured memory care, or may need nursing care as needs change.

Overview of Rose Glen Manor

Three care types belong to Rose Glen Manor in North Wilkesboro, NC, respite care, memory care, and assisted living. Under assisted living, the help is with daily tasks, medication management, bathing, and dressing. For someone at risk of wandering, memory care means the setting is secured, and staff supervises inside it.

Respite is the short stay families use when the caregiver has their own surgery to recover from. Rose Glen Manor is licensed for 60 beds, and Secured Living is named as a program, which is where a resident living with dementia would be supervised.

Having all three levels here answers two different questions at once, one from a resident whose needs are changing and one from the person doing the caring. Medicaid is on the list of accepted payments, the answer for families whose savings run out before the care does.

Dining is among the amenities. A 61 for walking puts part of the area within reach on foot and leaves the rest of it to a car.
