What to Consider About Assisted Living in Conover
North Carolina retirees looking for a small-town atmosphere and an easy drive to big-city amenities might find Conover worth a look. The 8,400-resident city is the geographic center of Catawba County, and thanks to multiple major highways that pass through it, including Interstate 40, Conover is one of the most easy-to-access cities in the Charlotte Metro Region.
Conover is home to a large senior population, with 17% of its residents aged 65 and older. To serve those who need help with grooming, housekeeping, meals and medications, Conover provides four assisted living facilities, or adult care homes (ACHs) as they’re called in the state. Nearby cities, including Hickory, Newton and Arden, offer another nine. The North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation licenses all such residences in Conover and the rest of the state.
