A Commitment to Caring
Novant Health Caton Merchant House helps seniors to live as they wish—just with a little extra help. Caton Merchant House is not a nursing home or a retirement community. We offer the conveniences of home with a level of care and assistance that is suited to seniors' needs. In addition, The Assisted Living Center is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Our staff is committed to keeping residents happy and secure.

- Regular assisted care provides moderate help in daily living activities
- Professional Medical Services Office is an in-house medical office available for health screenings, physical exams and simple office procedures. A podiatrist and geriatric specialist visit monthly for the convenience of residents.

A Commitment to Service
Caton Merchant House offers a different way of life with the Eden Alternative Program. The principles of Eden revolve around creating opportunities for residents to live as they did when they were independent and taking care of others. Residents take part in caring for plants and gardens, assist in caring for birds living in the home, and participate in visits with children. A beautiful water garden flows in the front courtyard complete with goldfish and flowers. Through these experiences, residents find companionship and continue to learn, teach, grow and live.
As part of our continuing commitment to our residents, Caton Merchant House is happy to provide a variety of services, including:
- Three meals and snacks daily
- Local and long-distance phone service is included in price
- 24-hour nursing service
