The Landings of Mills River

4143 Haywood Road Mills River, Nc 28759, Mills River, NC 28759
Overview of The Landings of Mills River

In Mills River, NC, The Landings of Mills River is licensed for assisted living and memory care. The daily business of dressing, medication, and bathing is what assisted living handles, for a resident who needs that much and no more. Memory care puts someone prone to wandering under supervision in a secured area.

Both care types belong to one license at one address, which spares a family the second search later on. Sixty-five beds are licensed in the building. Secured Living is the program behind the memory care here, and dementia far enough along to need that level of supervision is what brings a family to it.

Medicaid is accepted, so a resident already qualified can put that coverage against the cost of a stay. Residents have a library, and transportation is available as well.

Overview of Yadkin Valley Senior Living

Yadkin Valley Senior Living occupies an Elkin, NC address, with assisted living, respite care, and independent living on the license. Assisted living here is help with daily tasks. Independent living leaves the daily care out and keeps what the community runs in.

Respite covers a stretch a caregiver cannot be there for, a busy season, or a trip that will not move. The license here allows 60 beds.

Each week brings 14 or more hours of planned group activities, Bingo, exercise, socials, crafts, and outings among them. On-Site Medical Care is a named program, and rehabilitation services are listed too, so therapy does not send a resident out of the building. Sixty on the walking scale is the somewhat walkable band, so some of what a resident wants stays possible without asking for a lift.
