Shallotte Assisted Living sits in a recently renovated building with painted walls and remodeled bathrooms, and the place feels comfortable, much like a family. You'll find rooms with private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes, telephones, and high-speed internet, and some rooms have wheelchair-accessible showers or full tubs. There's an emergency alert system and 24-hour awake staff to help folks quickly if they need anything, plus nurses always available and a doctor, psychiatrist, and podiatrist on call. The staff takes care of medication management, helps with bathing, dressing, eating, or moving around, and provides care for diabetes, non-ambulatory needs, and incontinence when residents can manage it themselves, and they're trained to use lifts for transfers.
Shallotte Assisted Living offers assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, independent living, respite care for short stays, home care, hospice care, and nursing home services, so folks can stay as their needs change. They're pet-friendly, allowing cats and dogs, and meals come with the stay-nutritious dishes cooked by professional chefs are served restaurant-style with all-day dining, and they gladly prepare allergy-sensitive options.
There are daily activities planned by a full-time activity director, like movie nights, music programs, field trips, gardening, exercise programs, games, and arts, while a resident-designed and managed garden grows vegetables right on the property. Residents also use a library, fitness room, business room, beauty salon, art room, spa, and movie theater, plus indoor and outdoor spaces where people can visit or walk the paths, and there's even a place for outdoor smoking if someone likes it. Staff provides housekeeping, laundry, concierge help, and help with moving in, so new arrivals get settled without trouble, and there's transportation and parking for those who drive or need rides to appointments or outings.
Shallotte Assisted Living uses safety technology to help residents who might wander, using bracelets that alert staff if someone leaves. Visiting healthcare professionals like physical therapists or occupational and speech therapists come for checkups or therapy, and an in-house podiatrist looks after foot care needs. There's an onsite beauty salon, onsite devotional services, and the possibility to go offsite for worship if folks want. The community welcomes residents aged 55 and older and focuses on supporting independence and well-being while providing help with daily activities whenever folks need it. Amenities and areas can be toured by scheduling a visit, where visitors can meet both staff and residents and see what life's like at Shallotte Assisted Living.
