Haywood Lodge and Retirement Center provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Waynesville, NC. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for a resident at risk of wandering.
Respite care provides a short term stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The combination of assisted living and memory care may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since the care level can change without leaving the community. That continuity may matter as daily support needs change.
Haywood Lodge and Retirement Center opened in 1963 and has 72 beds. A Walk Score of 73 places the area in the very walkable band, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently for nearby errands. In house physical therapy supports rehabilitation without requiring travel to an outside therapy location, while in house lab and X ray services mean some diagnostic testing can take place within the community. Hair care is also available at the on site barbershop and beauty shop.
