Overview of The Landings of Mills River

The Landings of Mills River sits at 4143 Haywood Road in Mills River, North Carolina, in the mountains southwest of Asheville. It offers assisted living and memory care. The location is rural, and the Walk Score of 17 confirms what the address suggests. Errands require a car here, and so does most everything else.

Licensed capacity is 65 beds; twenty residents live there now, which puts occupancy at 31 percent. That is a lightly populated building. Space is available, and the resident group is small enough that recognition between staff and residents comes easily.

Nursing services are provided, and staffing runs 24 hours. The community also operates a Secured Living program for residents with dementia who need a protected setting. That program runs alongside general assisted living rather than in place of it.

Housekeeping, maintenance, and transportation are all covered by the community. Transportation carries real weight given how far the location sits from most services. Dining is restaurant-style. Residents also have a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area suited to the mountain surroundings.

North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation surveys adult care homes without advance notice. At this community, inspection themes have gathered around medication management, care planning and documentation, dietary and food service, and housekeeping and upkeep. Medicaid is accepted, which shapes the financial picture for families working within limits or planning to spend down.

The Landings of Mills River is a 65-bed assisted living and memory care community running at low occupancy in a rural mountain setting, with round-the-clock staffing, a secured dementia program, and Medicaid acceptance.
