Mountain View Assisted Living sits on a hilltop at 260 Centerway Dr, Hendersonville, NC, surrounded by mountains and looking over a horse pasture, and folks say the views are really something, which is maybe why people describe it as a peaceful place. Residents need to be at least 65, and it's a 55+ community tied in with retirement living, offering all kinds of care ranging from independent living and assisted living to memory care, nursing homes, and even home care. They also offer continuing care, respite care, and hospice services, so people can stay as their needs change, and that can give some comfort if someone wants to stay in one place through the years.
Mountain View helps with bathing, dressing, medication management, diabetic care including insulin, and moving about, even for those who need mechanical lifts or use wheelchairs. Trained staff are awake 24 hours a day, and there's an emergency alert system and a 24-hour call system for safety. Doctors are on call, and visiting nurses, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, as well as podiatrists, stop by to help folks. Meals are served all day with a restaurant-style menu, taking care of allergies and diabetes, and residents don't have to worry about food preparation. There are housekeeping and laundry services, including dry cleaning, plus move-in coordination, which is a nice help when settling in.
They offer studio and one-bedroom rooms from $3,000 a month and semi-private options at $2,750 a month, all furnished, and each has a telephone and access to wheelchair accessible showers or full bathtubs, which makes personal care easier. There are comfortable living areas and social spaces indoors and outdoors, including a crafts and art room, a garden, walking paths, a barber and salon, a library, movie nights, and a Fourth of July fireworks display. Holiday parties bring residents and their families together, and it seems there's a feeling of connection and community. There are also devotional services, space for outdoor smoking, and parking for residents, plus they'll transport people to appointments if needed.
Memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's is available, with a secure setup and activities to help mental wellness and keep folks engaged. Care homes and services are personalized, tailored to each resident's needs, focusing on fostering dignity and independence, whether someone needs light help or heavier care. Activities support wellness and social life, even though there aren't many specifics listed, just a general impression that both staff-run and resident-run programs run to fit different interests, and help everyone feel included.
Mountain View has visiting specialists, telephones in rooms, homecare options, visiting nurses, and different types of care, letting someone receive more help as they need it. They keep common areas clean, provide an onsite beautician, allow for outdoor and indoor socializing, and offer both community events and personal support. Folks can schedule tours and learn about costs or see a map right on the website, making it easy to see if it fits. Staff are known for being friendly and caring, and the place itself has earned praise and awards for its quality. People looking for a supportive and straightforward living environment with all levels of care could find what they need at Mountain View Assisted Living.
