The Gardens of Statesville Premier Senior Living
Residents at The Gardens of Statesville don’t have time to be bored, as the many activities they can participate in keep them happy and engaged. They stay active with outings to restaurants, field trips, family nights, and lots of music. Their monthly calendar is full of fun with Bingo, music, cooking, lunch bunch, exercise classes, movie nights, Bible studies, and outings for shopping and dining. “We really try to gear our activities to our current population of residents,” says Executive Director Mechelle Kanipe. “We ask them what they want to do and plan a lot of trips out in the community. We go out to eat and shop locally a couple times throughout the month. The love of music is really strong in this community, whether it’s gospel or music from the 50s and 60s, so a lot of our activities are The Gardens of Statesville: Premier Senior Living Residents stay active and engaged in this close-knit community Residents are well cared for at The Gardens of Statesville. with nutritious meals, a variety of outings and their small pets to keep them company.

geared toward music and live entertainment.”
The assisted living facility in Statesville is licensed for 67 residents. Right next door, Cardinal Village’s fifteen one to two-bedroom living cottages are an option for those who want to remain a little more independent. “Our focus is to work hand-in-hand with the residents, their physicians, and families to provide a plan of care that maintains the health and well-being of each individual,” says Kanipe. She works with a medical director, registered nurse, in-house therapists, and much more.
A big focus at The Gardens is on nutrition. Carolina Nutrition Company provides dietician-approved meals based on regional tastes. Meals are offered for a regular diet, consistent carbohydrate diet, or for a no added salt diet. Three balanced, nutritional meals are provided each day plus snacks. A typical lunch might be meat loaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, dinner roll, and apple cobbler for dessert. Alternate menu items are also available. Word gets out among those searching for assisted living care. “Statesville is a small town, and many of our residents are here because friends and family who have been here in the past recommended us,” says Kanipe. “We’ve been voted Best Retirement Living for the last four years.” The Gardens allows residents to have small pets, and people appreciate that. The staff hosts family night each quarter—very enjoyable for residents and their families. About 100+ people attend to enjoy food and fellowship together. One family wrote this letter to The Gardens to thank them for their experience:
“I was scared to place Mom, but you all made me feel better. You went out of your way to comfort us, even when we were a pain. She was all we had left of our precious parents and you treated her, and us, with understanding. We want you to know that throughout it all, we know you held her close to your heart and loved her. You all hold a special place in our hearts.” From Nellie Grant’s family. The Gardens encourages you to take the step to visit today and make an impact in the life of your loved one.
