The reason behind everything.

Our Story

We built the home we wished he'd had.

When my father was living with dementia, our family searched everywhere for the kind of care he deserved — somewhere quiet, familiar, and small enough to actually know him. We couldn't find it.

So we built it. Picardy Pointe is a real home on a real street, with just six residents, warm meals around one table, and caregivers who show up because this work is a calling — not a shift.

"Six residents, not sixty. Every family who walks through this door will be treated the way I wish someone had treated ours."

What Makes Us Different

Small-home care, done right.

Residential assisted living is a licensed alternative to large facilities — a real home, a small group, and consistent caregivers who know each resident by name.

Six Residents, One Family

A real house with private bedrooms, shared meals at one table, and the calm that only a small home can offer.

Specialized Dementia Care

Founder-led memory-care expertise, the CALMS agitation framework, and consistent caregivers who learn each resident's rhythms.

24/7 Awake Care

Round-the-clock, awake caregivers — never on-call, never sleeping through a call bell. Peace of mind for every family.

All-Inclusive, No Add-Ons

Personal care, meals, laundry, medication management, and activities are all included. No care-level surprises when needs change.

Real Neighborhood Setting

On a quiet Cary street between Laurel Park and MacGregor Downs — the same neighborhood families already live and visit in.

Founder-Led, Family-Owned

Melissa lives and works in the community. When you call, you reach the owner — not a call center three states away.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

One rate. Everything included.

Most senior-care pricing hides care-level upgrades, community fees, and entrance deposits. Ours doesn't.
