Carolina Meadows Recognized

The Excellence in Innovation Award:
Carolina Meadows was honored at the LeadingAge North Carolina Annual Conference in Asheville with an Innovation Award recognizing the organization’s work related to fall prevention and resident safety in assisted living. The award highlighted the interdisciplinary initiative led by Jessica Drecktrah, Director of Nursing Services, as part of her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program through Duke University, and Michelle Marino, Wellness Manager.

The project focused on a nurse led, AI informed approach to fall risk assessment and prevention within The Fairways assisted living environment. The initiative demonstrated meaningful improvements in resident engagement and reductions in falls while also helping advance data informed care practices within the community.

This recognition reflects both Jessica and Michelle’s leadership and Carolina Meadows’ broader commitment to innovation, evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuous improvement in resident care and quality outcomes.

(Whew, posted in the nick of time: there is just too much fun stuff to report) Dog Park Cinco de Mayo-themed Paw-ty!

The Federation of Furry Friends and Community Life sponsored an afternoon of fun, flavor, and furry friends at the CM Dog Park on Wednesday, May 6…..yes, the day after the real Cinco de Mayo! A rare (for this spring) rain shower dampened the first 15 minutes, but a hardy crew of celebrants and pups turned out to sample Melissa’s delicious Mexican treats and Sarah’s wonderful homemade dog cookies, each to his own! As the sun dried up the dampness, more and more people and dogs arrived, and the Paw-ty became fully underway. Dogs and owners sported little sombreros, and all visitors enjoyed the fun. Huge thanks to Sonia, Sarah, and Melissa for the planning, decorating, food, and enthusiasm! (Written Post Credit: Elsa Desrochers)

Everyone agreed that a repeat event, minus the rainy start, should be put on the calendar!

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Yesterday at Carolina Meadows, we took a moment to slow down, breathe deeply, and celebrate World Meditation Day at our beautiful labyrinth. 🌿✨ Surrounded by peace, reflection, and community, we were reminded that sometimes the most meaningful journey is the one inward. Thank you to everyone who joined us in finding a little calm together. 💚 (Photo credit: Michelle Marino)

Have you ever been lucky enough to attend one of Carolina Meadows Book Sales?

From the moment the doors open, the energy is contagious—tables filled with wonderful books just waiting to be discovered, and neighbors coming together to browse, share recommendations, and celebrate the joy of reading. There’s nothing quite like that feeling of finding the perfect book you didn’t even know you were looking for.

A huge thank you to everyone who work so hard behind the scenes. The time, care, and dedication it takes to sort, organize, and display so many books does not go unnoticed.
