Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Burnsville, NC

Overview of Yancey House

Yancey House sits at 6 Cooper Lane in Burnsville, a small town in the mountains of western North Carolina. It is a 70-bed community offering assisted living, memory care, and respite stays. The neighborhood scores a 58 for walkability, so a short walk covers some errands. Most trips still need a car.

About 80% of the beds are filled. For families still touring and comparing, that means real availability rather than a waitlist conversation.

Staff are on-site 24 hours a day, and respite care gives family caregivers a place to turn when they need a short break or when a parent is coming home from the hospital and needs a bridge. Memory care here runs through a program called Secured Living, built for residents who wander or need a more structured environment than general assisted living can provide.

The building has a library, an entertainment room, restaurant-style dining, and an outdoor common area. Housekeeping, maintenance, and transportation are the community’s responsibility, not the family’s. That is a practical difference for adult children managing care from another county.

Medicaid is accepted. Families thinking in years rather than months will want to weigh that. State inspections have focused on areas like medication management, care planning and documentation. Taken as a whole, Yancey House suits older adults who need daily hands-on help and families who want a secured memory care option close to home in Yancey County, without moving a parent hours away to find it.
