What to Consider About Memory Care in Hendersonville

Memory care and assisted living communities in Hendersonville are regulated by the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation. This agency ensures communities maintain standards with regard to services like housing, personal care, staffing, and health and safety.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Hendersonville

  • Served by two large hospitals, AdventHealth and Pardee UNC Health Care, Hendersonville offers abundant healthcare options. AdventHealth provides primary care, specialty care and on-site imaging and lab services. Seniors can make appointments to be seen in person or take advantage of the telehealth services. Pardee Health provides many services to seniors, including orthopedics, urgent care and heart and vascular care. Both hospitals are available for emergency care, illness, surgery and treatment for chronic conditions.
  • Though public transportation in the city is sparse, seniors in Hendersonville who require transportation to and from medical appointments and back and forth to senior centers, for errands and outings can schedule an appointment with Apple County Public Transit. Paratransit services are available for those with disabilities and all buses are handicap accessible.
  • Hendersonville’s cost of living is slightly higher than the national average. On the other hand, Social Security income is not taxed in North Carolina, so seniors get to keep more of their money at the end of the year during tax time.
  • With approximately 210 sunny days per year, Hendersonville offers excellent weather for seniors to get outdoors and enjoy nature. Summers are warm, with average July highs around 84, and winters are cold, with lows around 26. For those who enjoy winter weather, the city also gets around 9 inches of snow per year.
  • Seniors with respiratory illness may have fewer issues in Hendersonville due to the quality of the air. Compared to the national average, the air in the city is much cleaner, with fewer pollutants.
