We have the highest licensed nursing-to-resident ratio in the area, so you can relax and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your loved ones are cared for in an environment with unsurpassed senior living services.

Exceptional senior care services are an essential component to helping your loved ones transition to assisted living at The Carolina Inn. Our interdisciplinary team develops and oversees a customized care plan for each resident, addressing current needs and looking toward the future. It all starts with an Assisted Living Needs Assessment where our director of nursing and an administrator visit with your loved one—either on-site or in their home—and assess their proficiency in mobility, dining, dressing, bathing, toileting, orientation, and behavior. Our integrated team then creates a customized program that encourages their independence and preserves their dignity.

Level of care is fluid and senior care services may need to be adjusted based on changing needs. However, our goal remains true—to gently assist and support our residents through round-the-clock supervision in a caring atmosphere that preserves individuality and respects privacy and personal choice.

The Carolina Inn is fit for a queen. The staff, from the front door to the top floor is phenomenal! They are there to serve-with a smile. I have yet to meet anyone that was not top notch professional. The real story comes from within...as we toured the facility I spoke directly with many of the residence and was extremely impressed with their responses. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a "home" for their loved one.

Both my parents are living at The Carolina Inn (senior living facility). I was impressed on my first visit in early 2024 and still am. The staff I met were polite, professional, and attentive. My parents are safe and well cared for. The large manor house has stately elegance. Recent renovations add modern ambience to the 4th floor and newly opened patio room. The kitchen staff provide well-balanced meals, with nutritious food. They also create nice snacks and sweets for social occasions. There are a number of activities for residents to enjoy daily. Warmer months allow outdoor recreation on the expansive, walkable grounds. I appreciate the FB page that features pictures capturing different events, often with my parents present. I'm grateful for the nursing staff (2nd floor in particular) and everyone whose work contributes to making the Inn a safe, comfortable home.

A really nice remodel of the hotel and the hotel was decorated for Christmas during our visit. We found it very difficult to work with the staff as they transition to a new reservation system. Very disappointing and the excuse makes no sense for poor service. If your staff can't grasp the system or it is not functioning bring the vendor in to guide the process. In addition , staff was just not friendly. Not a luxury resort experience.
