The Next Best Thing to Being at Home

Devoted to helping those that need assistance with activities of daily living, Haywood Lodge & Retirement Center offers seniors assisted living services in the peaceful atmosphere of a friendly mountain community.

Founded in 1963, our family and locally owned center is devoted to helping those that need assistance with daily routines and care. Our three separate facilities offer residents a large selection of choices for their care, including short-term respite care (7+ days). Enrich your loved one’s life with in-house physical therapy, transportation services, three dietician-approved meals a day and snacks. A barbershop and a beauty shop are available at all locations. We also have in-house lab and X-ray services available.

Short-Term Respite Care

Assisted living respite is a good option when caregivers go out of town for business, vacation, or simply need a break and are seeking short-term care for their loved ones. If you or your loved one are having trouble deciding about assisted living, one great option can be a temporary stay, also known as “short-term respite care.” Learn more by calling us or stopping by to visit.
