The Sanctuary at Stonehaven is a memory care and assisted living community in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializing in dementia and Alzheimer's care. Since opening in 2017, the community provides 24/7 care with unlimited assistance in activities of daily living, medication management, housekeeping, hygiene assistance, and nutritious meals tailored to residents' needs.
The community is built around personalized care with staff trained to understand the unique challenges of dementia. Design features intentionally eliminate long hallways and elevators, keeping caregivers within a few feet of residents at all times. Large private rooms with their own bathrooms, open floorplans, and abundant natural light create a home-like environment rather than an institutional setting. Safety protocols focus on fall prevention and infection control through intentional design, rigorous procedures, and continuous supervision.
Enrichment activities are customized to each resident's abilities and interests, designed to preserve important skills and slow cognitive decline. Staff members personalize accommodations and activities based on individual preferences, and the community emphasizes building close bonds with residents based on empathy, respect, and dignity. Residents can remain at The Sanctuary as their care needs evolve.
The community prioritizes staff stability and satisfaction, recognizing that consistent caregivers build deeper trust and understanding with residents and their families. Management maintains open communication channels with families and remains available to discuss care directly. The facilities are located in quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods in the Charlotte area, with beautiful newly renovated and newly constructed residences designed to feel familiar and welcoming.
