Carolina Gardens at Kathwood offers several types of senior living, like independent living for healthy seniors, adult care homes, assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks, memory care for people with memory loss or dementia, and skilled nursing care. Folks there can get home care, home health, and support services, and you can connect with real care providers using direct phone numbers without dealing with a bunch of hidden forms or worry about your information being sold. The place has single rooms and studio apartments with bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. Some pets are allowed and there are rules about where you can smoke. Residents can get chef-prepared meals in the dining room, snacks, and dining options all day, even meals that work for people with allergies or diabetes. There's housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning, plus home maintenance, so you don't have to worry about chores.
Carolina Gardens at Kathwood supports those with memory needs, giving them a secure setting, mind-stimulating activities, and extra safety. There's help for bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking medicine, and physical therapy and occupational therapy visits are available. Nursing staff are there for 12 to 16 hours a day and there's a call system 24 hours a day. They have a dedicated team that runs wellness programs, fitness rooms, and a spa. You'll find things like a game room, movie nights in a theater, music, art, a library, scheduled outings, and social activities. Outdoors, there are walking paths, gardens, and programs so you can get fresh air or join in group activities. Folks can get haircuts and barber services right on site, and there are religious services both in the building and in other locations.
Transportation is free and available for shopping and appointments. Family and friends can look at providers with tools that sort by what services they offer or how close they are, and folks can make a list of their favorite places to share. Residents have access to help with moving in and support for families. The staff is trained to help at all levels-independent living, assisted, skilled care, or memory support-and they try to make everyone feel safe and comfortable. The community has a homey feel and gives people a safe place to live, offering both privacy and plenty of chances to socialize if that's something they like. You won't see any information about pricing or costs, but the place is licensed by the state and only takes folks who are 55 or older. Carolina Gardens at Kathwood is there to make life easier and more enjoyable for seniors, offering a simple and caring environment, but what it's like to live there will depend on your own needs and what you're looking for.
