Charlotte families looking for hospital care related to dementia can start with the acute care hospitals CMS lists in the city, then call each facility to ask about geriatric services and how it plans discharge for a patient with memory loss.
Public CMS data covers each hospital's name, address, ownership, emergency services, and overall star rating. It does not show whether a campus has a dedicated memory, dementia, or geriatric unit, so confirm those services directly with the hospital. For a wider local overview, see the Charlotte city care guide.

What CMS star ratings do and do not tell you
A CMS overall star rating is a public quality score for the hospital as a whole. It does not identify a memory unit, dementia program, or geriatric psychiatry service.
On this Charlotte list, Novant Health Mint Hill Medical Center and Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center are rated 5 out of 5. Carolinas Medical Center/Behav Health is rated 4 out of 5. Atrium Health Pineville and Atrium Health University City are rated 3 out of 5. Novant Health Ballantyne Medical Center has no assigned overall star rating.
Use the rating as one comparison point, then ask about staffing, wandering precautions, family visiting, and written discharge instructions for a person with dementia.
Questions to ask about memory care and discharge planning
Families should ask each Charlotte hospital directly whether it has a dedicated memory or geriatric unit and how it plans discharge for a patient with dementia, because CMS does not publish that information.
Helpful questions include how staff communicate with a confused patient, whether a family member may stay overnight, how medications will be reconciled, and what follow-up the hospital expects. After a stay, many families arrange hospital discharge care so the first days at home are supervised.
