Nana's Assisted Living Facility sits over on 1114 Montreat Road in Black Mountain, NC, and you'll see right away that it's a place set up for seniors who need help but want to feel at home, with staff who watch out for each person all day and all night, and apartments made safe and easy to move around in with roomy living spaces, one-bedroom setups, and emergency pendants so if something goes wrong, help comes fast. Residents get help with showering, bathing, dressing, and even with things like managing medicine, diabetes care, incontinence, and there's support for transfers and non-ambulatory folks as well, all under the care of an on-site registered nurse and regular health checks, so you know someone's always keeping an eye out for everyone.
There's all the main meals right there in a dining room, and the chefs know how to fix different kinds of foods, even pureed or allergy-sensitive options for anyone who might need them, and they'll try to tailor meals if a doctor says it's necessary. Seniors live in assisted living apartments, and the staff offers different support levels, from help with daily activities to full memory care-meaning anyone living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or even Parkinson's gets a plan shaped just for their own needs, with their own bedroom and individualized care. Family support groups meet, and there's help for families figuring out new routines.
The grounds are fenced in for safety, and there are decks, gardens, walking paths, and fenced areas for folks who like being outside-plus it's pet-friendly, so people can have dogs or cats if they want. The place holds a license for 49 assisted living residents, and there's help for couples or singles, with amenities such as meal prep, laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, and furnished rooms with telephones and Wi-Fi. Recreation and social activities run every day, with crafts, arts, birthday parties, devotional gatherings, and even movie nights or trips out.
There's a bit of everything with common areas like a library, beauty salon, arts room, and a dining room open for restaurant-style eating at most times of the day. People get involved in both community-sponsored and resident-run activities to keep busy, and there are life enrichment and wellness programs for both mind and body. Nana's Assisted Living Facility includes the Marjorie McCune Memorial Center, providing specialty care for folks who need memory care or even respite care-for those who only need a short stay. The staff helps with move-in, and there are extra services like a concierge, special request options, and regular health and wellness checks, so everyone keeps on top of whatever they need, living as well as possible in Buncombe County.
