Assisted living in a Charlotte home with six residents
When a parent starts needing help with medications, meals or nights, family members often cover more and more until the schedule stops working. House of Peace offers long-term assisted living in a licensed family care home in Charlotte, NC, where a Resident Ambassador is awake on every shift and no more than six residents share the household, so your parent has help at any hour and your visits go back to being visits.
Who assisted living at House of Peace is for
House of Peace is a good match for older adults who walk on their own or with a cane or walker and need daily help with personal care, medications or reminders. It is not the right setting for someone who uses a wheelchair full time, needs bed-level or skilled nursing care, or needs a secured setting for advanced memory loss.

A day at House of Peace
Every resident keeps their own routine. A typical day looks something like this.
Residents wake on their own schedule. A Resident Ambassador helps with dressing and grooming, then breakfast and morning medications.
Music, garden club, chair yoga or a cooking project, followed by lunch together at the shared table.
Quiet time, visits from family, or an outing to a local spot. Regular visiting hours are 10 AM to 8 PM daily, with additional evening visits by appointment.
Dinner, a calm activity or a favorite show, and help getting ready for bed. A Resident Ambassador stays awake through the night.
Rooms residents make their own
Each spacious room comes furnished with a bed, dresser, mirror, nightstand, lamp and chair, with two closets and several windows for natural light. Residents are welcome to bring their own furniture, photos and keepsakes. Rooms share the home’s four bathrooms, and every room has step-free access.
Respite care
A respite stay at House of Peace gives a family caregiver time to travel, rest or recover. Respite stays last two weeks or longer, depend on room availability, and include the same daily care, meals and activities as long-term assisted living.
- Stays of two weeks or longer
- Same care, meals and activities as residents
- A way for a parent to get to know the home
After-rehab stays
Transitional care at House of Peace gives your loved one a supported place to keep recovering after a hospital or rehab stay, with help close by at any hour while they regain strength.
