Big Elm Retirement and Nursing Centers

Nestled in the heart of Kannapolis, North Carolina, Big Elm Retirement and Nursing Centers provides dedicated skilled nursing care at 1285 West A Street — a convenient and accessible location for families across Cabarrus County and the greater Charlotte metro area. Kannapolis has undergone a remarkable revitalization in recent years, anchored by the North Carolina Research Campus, a world-class biotech and health sciences hub that has brought renewed energy and investment to the city. Residents and their families benefit from this proximity to a thriving, forward-looking community while enjoying the unhurried pace that has long made Kannapolis a welcoming place for older adults. For medical needs, Atrium Health Cabarrus in neighboring Concord — just minutes away — is a full-service regional hospital offering emergency care, cardiology, orthopedics, and a wide range of specialty services. Novant Health Rowan Medical Center in Salisbury is also within easy reach for families who need additional options. This access to top-tier healthcare gives families confidence that their loved ones are never far from acute medical support when it matters most. Beyond healthcare, the Kannapolis area offers an array of outings and everyday conveniences. Veterans Park and Frank Liske Park provide peaceful green spaces where family visits can include a leisurely walk. Concord Mills, one of the region's premier shopping destinations, is a short drive for family members running errands or treating a loved one to an outing. The revitalized downtown Kannapolis corridor — anchored by Atrium Health Ballpark, home of the Cannon Ballers minor league baseball team — offers dining, events, and community character that reflect the city's proud heritage and Dale Earnhardt legacy. Big Elm Retirement and Nursing Centers is independently owned and operated as a for-profit individual facility, allowing for a personal, hands-on management approach. This structure supports responsive decision-making and individualized attention to each resident's care plan. The skilled nursing team is focused on rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and post-acute recovery, helping residents regain strength and quality of life in a supportive environment. For families in Kannapolis, Concord, Salisbury, or the broader Charlotte region seeking trusted skilled nursing care, Big Elm represents a community-rooted option with the medical infrastructure to back it up.
