MerryWood on Park sits in a tree-lined neighborhood just south of Uptown Charlotte, so you get the quiet of the suburbs but you're close to city amenities, and the buildings have a traditional elegance with tasteful decor that gives you a home-like feeling when you walk in, and in this community, people seem to know each other and share a sense of belonging, so there's always someone around if you want to chat or join in a game or program. This place offers both independent living and assisted living, which means folks can enjoy their retirement years with as much independence as they like, and if someone needs extra help with daily tasks, there's staff standing by around the clock, and they also have memory care for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's, plus respite care if someone's family needs a short break. Every apartment home is well-designed with options like studios, one-bedrooms, and even two-bedroom layouts, most with kitchenettes and choices like balconies or patios, and you can bring your small pet, so your furry companion doesn't have to be left out either. The housekeeping and maintenance staff take care of the chores, so you never have to worry about repairs or cleaning, and there's a laundry service, which is nice for people who'd rather spend time doing something else. Chef-prepared meals are served three times a day in a restaurant-style setting, and the kitchen can handle special diets, including vegetarian meals, and there's also a private dining room when you want to have family over or celebrate a special occasion.
The property is pet-friendly for both independent and assisted living residents, and the community's amenities make life easier, with things like a beauty salon and barber shop onsite, Wi-Fi throughout the building, and resident parking, plus easy access to public transportation for trips into Charlotte. The fitness center, social lounge, theater, game room, creative studio, chapel, library, and lush courtyard with walking paths add variety to every day, and there are scenic grounds where folks can take a quiet stroll or sit for a while. Weekly housekeeping, scheduled transportation for appointments or outings, and a busy social calendar-complete with evening happy hours, movie nights, off-campus events, and volunteer programs-help everyone keep busy and make new friends, and the on-site therapy services and call systems mean support is never far away. Activity programs focus on mind, body, and soul, offering entertainment, creative crafts, devotional services, daily exercises, and educational classes, and for those who prefer quiet moments, there are comfortable spaces to read or play cards. MerryWood on Park helps people age in place by offering the care and companionship needed as needs change, and the staff work to keep a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone can relax, knowing help is available if you need it, and friendships are easy to find.
