Our Mission
Always feel at home in our continuing care retirement center
Retirement isn’t the end – it’s just the beginning! Here at Stanley Total Living Center we help our residents live their wisdom years with dignity and respect.
Our team of talented caregivers, nurses and ancillary staff is dedicated to providing you with the care you need during every stage of your retirement.
With a comfortable, relaxed environment, you can enjoy countless activities, beautiful outdoor spaces, thoughtfully prepared meals, and an atmosphere that genuinely feels like home.
For those who need more hands-on help, our licensed nurses are available to provide direct care in our assisted living center. We’re the only facility in Gaston County with a secure memory care unit for skilled nursing residents. Our resident-to-nurse ratio is constantly monitored to ensure our residents always receive the quality care they expect and deserve. We have a nurse practitioner on-site at least 2 days per week and a Medical Director on-site at least every 2 weeks.
We’ll always give you the best care possible and want you to feel at home with Stanley Total Living Center.

Stanley is a small, quaint town known as a ‘friendly place’ – the perfect place to retire.

We also won best assisted living in the Best of Gaston for the past four years as well as Best Place to Work, Best Nurse (Director of Nursing), Best Nurse Practitioner, and Best Boss (Administrator) in previous years.
Our Board of Directors is an all-volunteer board, appointed by local churches to assist in management oversight of the facility.
