23 Assisted Living Facilities Near Hendersonville, NC
Tucked in the southern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains lies the small town of Hendersonville, North Carolina, a quaint suburb of Asheville. It’s a beautiful area with gentle walking trails and close enough to Asheville for residents to take in a concert or attend events at Appalachian State University. This may be a great destination for retirees to enjoy their Golden Years, as more than 32% of the 14,000 residents are aged 65 and older.
Many Hendersonville seniors may be considering accommodations in an assisted living facility, which average $2,750 per month, significantly less than both the state and national averages. These group homes have staff available around the clock for personal care and mobility assistance, plus light medical care from a registered nurse. Meals are provided, and many of these facilities feature apartment-style living for residents. Different activities are scheduled throughout the week, which residents can choose to participate in. Often, transportation is provided, too.
In this guide, we look at the benefits and drawbacks of living in Hendersonville and list some free resources for seniors and their families to help enhance their lives. We also compare the costs of assisted living with other cities and other forms of senior care.

We have found a place for my mother-in-law, Carolina Reserve of Hendersonville. We’re doing paperwork and getting everything ready. The room is not yet ready; it’ll be ready at the end of the month. The experience was good. I like it because it’s a smaller facility. The staff was very friendly. I thought the room size was nice and appropriate. The dining area is nice. They had a music therapy class going on when I was there.

I had my mom on respite care, and she went to TerraBella Hendersonville. She had been there for two weeks. The layout was very nice. It had different wings. The memory care wing was kept locked, so that no one got out or endangered themselves.
The dining room for the other residents was very nice. They offered two choices for every meal. The wait staff in the dining room was very nice.
The overall staff in general was very friendly and helpful. The assisted living section was very nice. They had an activities room. They had a media room, and they had multiple screened-in porches that a resident could go to. They also had an outdoor sitting area.
I tried the food, and the meal was very good. It was a nice, healthy, balanced meal. I had a choice of chicken or pizza, and I chose the chicken. Both entrees came with vegetables and a biscuit. Mom loved the food.
They had a monthly calendar set up where they listed the activities for every day, which I thought was excellent. Then they also had day trips and like once a week a trip to go places. The value for money was definitely worth it. Their pricing was in line with other places. The level of service that they gave was better than other places.

My father has been there only 5 weeks and although vaccinated has apparently gotten Covid-19 from sitting at a table with a guy who had it – which brings into question whether the facility has safe procedures on testing and masking. He has not been re-tested.
Since he’s been there he’s lost weight, and is not getting a balanced diet despite paying for that service. He has told us that sometimes he gets a third meal after 9:00 PM, and it might be an egg or a packet of instant oats, and his food is usually not what he asked for and often is not warmed. He said one time he got a meal that someone else had taken bites of, and they tried to conceal that by turning the food so the bites were not visible. I would hope that the State would check up on this facility.

We went to look at Lake Pointe Landing. We looked at the two-bedroom apartment and the building. It was a very comfortable and very nice layout. Most of the apartments looked like they had a balcony screened in, which was nice. The dining area, kitchen, and laundry were a little tight. But all of the other rooms were a good size. The assisted living facility has very nice one-bedroom apartments with a little kitchenette area. They had a library, a pool, and a lot of nice little areas to sit in. We met a resident because she showed us her apartment, and she enjoys it there. She said the meals were wonderful. The people are nice. I had an overall good feeling.

My mom is at Carolina Village. They start out as independent living — they have houses and apartments — then you go into the care center, which is assisted living, and then the medical. There are all levels. It is absolutely wonderful. In the seven years that she has been there, I had one complaint, it was addressed, and it never occurred again. The place is clean. Everybody who works there is very friendly and very kind. If you have any question, you can call the case manager, and within a day she will be back in touch with you. During COVID, if there was any problem at all, they called every family who was associated with the facility and let us know right up front. As far as the number of COVID cases they had, it was very minimal and mostly with workers, not with people in the facility. The workers were going in and out, and it is understandable that they are going to be exposed. The CNAs in my mother’s floor have now been there for twenty years; they’ve been there a long time, so there is no fast turnover. I just don’t have any complaints about the place. It is private pay, and they do not take Medicare or Medicaid. They vary the activities based on the area where you are living. Yesterday I spent thirty minutes talking to the activity director about all the changes that they are making right now and have been making for the past year to provide something for them, even though for a lot of the time they’ve been quarantined to their rooms because of COVID. But they’ve had virtual activities, and now they are being allowed to do a little bit more. They are playing bingo while spaced six feet apart. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Some of the amenities and activities include pool, bridge, bingo three times a week, exercise classes based on the multiple abilities of the folks, yoga class, and a hairdresser. They also have a doctor on-call. They were very helpful in getting her set up with a couple of physicians and dentists in that area. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
