Summit Place of South Park offers standard assisted living options for seniors who need daily help.
Those in assisted living unlock help with personal care tasks, including:
Assisted living is made for those with mobility issues. It's also ideal for people with mild cognitive challenges.
Those with more serious cognitive decline may prefer memory care. These residents get help with all the same things that those in assisted living do, and personalized care plans are a top priority in both living options.
However, since memory care is tailor-made for those requiring Alzheimer's and dementia care services, residents also gain access to purpose-driven life enhancement activities that boost cognition. They may include:
Regardless of the help you or your loved one needs, there are several apartment floor plans that you can choose from.
Studios and deluxe studios are smaller spaces where the bedroom and living room are combined into a single area. One-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments have more independent rooms.
All apartments feature ample space for seniors with mobility restrictions to navigate. They're built for accessibility. They're also made for comfort with cozy furniture and treated windows.
However, spending all day cooped up in an apartment isn't the best way for seniors to stay comfortable. It's important to combat social isolation by spending time with other residents in community common areas.
Some amenities to enjoy include:
Our professionals are committed to ensuring each resident lives life to the fullest. That's why our team is happy to help seniors navigate these amenities.
Yes! One of our best programs is called Celebrations Activities and Events. This program lets our community host tons of daily calendar events, including:
Every week, the activities change. These are just some examples of what you might find in our Charlotte community.
Regardless of your preferences, there's something for everyone. This is especially important since the National Poll on Healthy Aging reports 34% of seniors as consistently lonely. Attending community activities lets residents meet people with shared interests and forge lifelong connections!
Summit Place of South Park offers individually-tailored care plans for every resident. This process involves:
After that, compassionate caregivers write the plan down. The new resident and their family approve the plan before it's implemented.
If needs change over time, the plan is 100% adaptable.
Among Charlotte communities, Celebrations Activities and Events are exclusive to Summit Place of South Park. However, there are other programs in that same vein. Some other unique programs you can find within our walls include:
This lets seniors in both assisted living and memory care make the most of their golden years!
There's unfortunately no set answer to this question. According to the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program's Cost of Care tool, senior care in Charlotte costs about $190 per day. Assisted living specifically costs about $149 daily or $4,470 monthly.
However, this figure can fluctuate depending on several factors.
Families of seniors who need more help from caregivers will need to pay higher fees than those who need minimal assistance. Those with larger apartment floor plans will need to pay more than those who choose small studio apartments.
You'll need to talk with our professionals to learn how much your monthly rent will be. There are also ways to help yourself pay, including long-term care insurance and loans from private lenders.
Now that you know why Summit Place of South Park is the top community for North Carolina seniors, it's time to learn more about quality housing for older adults.
