The Western North Carolina offers the best comprehensive and continuous healthcare possible, from assisting with daily living tasks to nursing care to ensure that residents receive the care they need when they need it. This program includes:

• Clinic services — Registered nurses are available at scheduled hours for consultations, screenings, and vaccinations. Most active retirees select their own physicians.

• Emergency services — Emergency alarms may be activated from your residence. Switchboard staff, security guards, and nurses are on duty 24 hours a day to respond.

• Prescription drug service — Apartment and garden home residents use the pharmacy of their choice. Local delivery can be arranged.

• Therapy services — Physical, occupational, speech, and other special therapy services are available via the Prince Nursing Care Center.
• Home health services — Western North Carolina can assist in arranging these services as needed.

Once you inquire or tour our community, we can talk to you about financial information needed to become a resident. At the time of admission, resident applicants must demonstrate the ability to cover the full cost of their care through their lifetime.

Assisted Living residents maintain a high degree of independence while receiving special care tailored to their individual needs.

If residents require 24-hour attention due to chronic illness or other health issues, our high-quality healthcare centers offer personalized care plans to meet those needs for residents in skilled nursing.

Our community is active and there are many activities and events planned for residents to encourage socialization and engagement. We have a strong wellness program, and all of our residents receive top-notch care, support, and assistance with daily needs. Each plan is tailored to the individual’s needs.

We ensure 24/7 support, and our team is trained on how to handle any situation.

Our community has been part of the greater community since the early 1950s, and our team partners with community groups to offer a unique experience to our residents.

There are daily activities, monthly activities, and some geared toward holidays, themes, and special occasions. Our community has clubs and encourages people to be social and engage with others. We also host events that our residents are always welcome to attend.

We screen and train all of our caregivers to ensure they meet our high standards for quality and care.

Each policy is a little different. When you apply to become a resident or during that initial process, one of our team members will assist with questions about insurance.

We do accept Medicare for some expenses in both AL and MC, and our team members will assist you with answering any questions you have.

We are exploring this option in our Assisted Living care.

We want it to be your new home, so we expect and encourage residents to make it homey and personalized.

We want residents to enjoy time with family, friends, and loved ones, so there is not a strict policy on when one may visit a resident. We encourage family members to contact the community during this pandemic directly to ensure a visit is appropriate.
