The Haven & The Laurels in the Village at Carolina Place sits in a peaceful, private neighborhood in Pineville, NC, where folks 55 and older can find a home-like place with lots of services and different types of care. People can choose independent living, assisted living, memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, nursing home care, and continuing care as needs change, so residents stay in one community even if they need more help over time. The campus is part of the larger Village at Carolina Place, and is managed by Five Star Senior Living, a group that tends to focus on providing tailored care with friendly staff on site 24 hours a day, and a relaxed, supportive setting.
The buildings have a traditional feel with white-columned porticos, decorative railings, and covered outdoor spaces. Gardens bloom with colorful crepe myrtle trees, and there are walking paths, a gazebo by the pond, and a dog park for pet lovers. You might see folks in rocking chairs, socializing during lobby happy hour, working in community gardens, or enjoying live music. There's a lake and both outdoor and indoor heated pools, plus a fitness center and exercise classes. Residents can join in activities like movie nights at the in-house theater, group trips to local attractions, library lounge afternoons, darts tournaments, gardening, and religious worship in the on-site chapel.
Residences come in a range of sizes with different floor plans, and you can find living spaces with private rooms, kitchenettes or full kitchens, furnished options, and modern safety features like an emergency response system and elevator. Assisted living and memory care areas are designed for comfort and safety, with secure courtyards, screened porches with wicker chairs and floral touches, and care-focused dining rooms where meals are served restaurant-style, including the MyChoice Dining Program and Five Star Culinary dining. Nutritious, chef-prepared meals are a highlight, with both classic and private dining rooms. Housekeeping, transportation, basic cable, internet, salon services, and concierge help come standard, and pets are welcome throughout the community.
The campus offers speech, physical, and occupational therapy along with rehab and fitness programs, FOX rehabilitation services, medication reminders and administration, support with tasks like bathing and dressing, and routine health care from registered nurses and in-house doctor visits. The secured memory care unit focuses on safety and specialized activities to help residents keep their minds and spirits engaged. The Five Star Experience Program and Five Star Lifestyle bring life enrichment, clubs, social events, pet therapy, and opportunities for volunteering, so people can find something to enjoy no matter their interests. The whole setting is spacious, private, and friendly, with lush landscaping and plenty of sunny and shaded spots for relaxing or spending time with friends and family. There's always something happening, whether it's movie showings, bingo, faith services, happy hours, or outings, and the staffing and programs are made to help each person make the most of daily life, whatever their needs.
