Golden LivingCenter - Hendersonville is a medium-sized healthcare facility at 1510 Hebron Street in Hendersonville, NC, with space for up to 30 residents, and the place has a kind, caring atmosphere that emphasizes comfort and respect, and nobody's rushing you or making you feel lost in the shuffle because it sort of keeps things personal, with private and semi-private rooms, some newly renovated, and flat screen TVs in the rehab area, so people recovering from surgery or illness get settled in with the Golden Rehab program and a shiny new gym full of therapy gear made for older folks. They've got separate areas for short-term rehab, long-term stay, and a secured Memory Care Unit for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, which keeps things safer and a bit more focused, and memory care gets support like enhanced dining, diet changes for diabetes or hypertension, and constant staff who help with bathing, dressing, medication, and all the usual needs, English or Spanish, wheelchair access, and 24-hour care.
Meals come from on-site chefs and meal planners with nutritious options, and folks get three meals a day and snacks, with options for special diets if needed, and their dining areas are designed to feel welcoming, so mealtime's a bit of an event, but if you want to eat in your room, that's fine too, and housekeeping and laundry are included with extra help if you want, and anxiety over errands, medical appointments, or religious services gets eased up with transportation services for those daily trips out. The care staff is thorough, with a Medical Director visiting weekly and a Nurse Practitioner on five days a week, so you always have access to medical oversight and there's always someone available to help with wound care, tracheotomy care, substance abuse rehab, psychological and mental illness care, speech, physical, and occupational therapy, diabetes care, and even hospice care if you need that kind of support; and specialized things like IVs, tube feeding, TENS therapy, and colostomy or catheter needs have support from trained staff.
Residents can receive both assisted living and skilled nursing care in a place that's pet-friendly for visitors, wheelchair accessible, and full of daily activities like movies, music, creative crafts, board games, books, workout programs, and more, plus there's a jacuzzi, sauna, beauty salon, and lots of nice outdoor spaces to enjoy, with regular community events most evenings, but the place isn't locked down where you can't come and go because it's a facility with lock and key security, and families can visit and bring pets, keeping the feeling homey. Personal services go beyond the basics with hair and grooming, errand help, and case management, so all the little things get noticed, and seniors who need help with bathing, feeding, or toileting get steady support, not just rushed through. There's internet, TV, and spaces for cards or board games, and the community supports English and Spanish, allowing for comfortable communication.
Golden LivingCenter - Hendersonville supports many payment options-private pay, insurance, Medicare, Medicaid-and works with Humana and Blue Cross Blue Shield, which helps if you're sorting through the complicated part of paying for all this, and you'll find care tailored to your needs through a resident-first approach and a care plan that covers health services and activities, whether you're staying short-term for rehab with one or two meals a day and outpatient programs, or long-term with around-the-clock skilled nursing, memory care, or daily assisted living. Staff work to keep everyone as independent as possible while offering the right level of support, and overall, it's a place that tries to focus on people's comfort, dignity, and health, rather than just pushing them through like numbers, with flexible services and a steady effort to create a calm and relaxed setting for older folks and their families.
