Mountain Care – Caring For Our WNC Neighbors

Caring For Our WNC Neighbors

MountainCare was created to bring together critical services that fulfill important needs within our Western North Carolina communities. Between them we serve almost every audience in our region, from children to seniors and families to individuals, across all income levels. What unites our varied services is the compassion of every member of our staff and their commitment to providing the best possible care to the people we serve.

Adult Care

Where Care For Your Loved Ones Becomes Peace Of Mind For You

Our three award-winning Adult Day Centers provide a safe and enjoyable place for aging and impaired adults where they can stay active and involved while receiving expert, compassionate care.
MountainCare also offers the Mountain Explorers program for adults with mild impairment who are interested in a program of social opportunities, mental stimulation, exercise and enrichment.
Overnight Respite is a relatively new program that allows for overnight stays at our facility for up to two weeks when caregivers are going out of town or cannot be with their loved one overnight

Music Therapy

The purpose of our music-based experiences is to address specific clinical goals through the use of music therapy. Our program promotes health and enhances quality of life at difficult times in life. We have seen firsthand the impact that music therapy intervention can have in our patients’ lives. That is why we offer this clinical and evidence-based service in a variety of settings to address the needs of people throughout their lives.
