Levels of Care in Senior Living: A Grace Ridge Guide

Choosing the right level of care ensures your loved one receives the support they need—comfortably, safely, and with dignity. As a respected Life Plan Community in Morganton, Grace Ridge offers four distinct care levels on one beautiful campus.

1. Independent Living

Independent Living is ideal for active older adults who want to enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle while staying socially engaged. Residents live in private apartments or cottages with access to:

• Housekeeping and laundry services
• Restaurant-style dining
• Fitness classes and wellness programs
• Planned social, cultural, and educational activities

This level is perfect for seniors who want to spend less time on chores and more time doing what they love.

2. Assisted Living

Assisted Living provides support with daily tasks while helping residents maintain their independence. Services typically include:

• Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management
• Three nutritious meals a day
• 24/7 access to trained caregivers
• Personalized care plans based on individual needs

Assisted Living is a great choice for those who need a little extra help in a supportive, homelike setting.

3. Memory Care

Memory Care at Grace Ridge is designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. It offers:

• A secure environment tailored to cognitive support
• Staff trained in dementia care
• Therapeutic activities to enhance memory and engagement
• Personalized routines to promote familiarity and comfort

This level of care focuses on safety, dignity, and quality of life for each resident.

4. Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation

Skilled Nursing provides 24/7 medical care and rehabilitation for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury—or for those who need long-term nursing care. Services include:

• Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
• Pain and medication management
• On-site physicians and care coordination

Whether for short-term rehab or long-term skilled care, Grace Ridge ensures residents receive compassionate, professional medical support.
