Does The Laurels in the Village at Carolina Place offer memory care?

Not as a licensed unit. The Laurels in the Village at Carolina Place does not appear on DHSR's Special Care Unit listing, so it has no beds licensed for secured Alzheimer's/dementia care; residents with mild memory loss may live there, but a secured memory care setting would mean a different community.

North Carolina has no separate memory-care license. A Special Care Unit must add dementia-trained staff, unit staffing, a secured environment and a written disclosure statement. Ask for that statement and compare it with what the tour guide tells you. Browse all licensed Special Care Units.
