Health Care with a Difference
Cherokee, North Carolina 28719
The new Tsali Care Center, a long-term care facility, is being built on land adjacent to the current Cherokee Indian Hospital and is slated to be completed in the Fall of 2024.
The new, 135,000-square-foot Center will be two levels and will feature 120 private rooms, up from the 72 beds at the current facility, and will be broken into 80 skilled nursing rooms and 40 assisted living and memory care rooms. A dialysis building will be attached to the Center for more convenience for the residents.
The new building replaces the existing facility approximately three miles away. The move will allow Tsali Care Center to increase bed capacity by 50 and to further consolidate Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority services closer to the hospital’s campus, supporting the care continuum.
Once complete in fall 2024, the Tsali Care Center will feature five courtyards as well as communal dining spaces. This project represents a $120 million investment by CIHA.
