Henderson Care Center in Forest City, NC offers a single, clearly defined level of care: Assisted Living. Within this setting, the staff is prepared to manage diabetes care routines, coordinate respite stays of varying lengths, and support a structured mental-wellness program. Families looking for short-term or transitional support can arrange respite or short-term stays that include all standard services, allowing residents to recover or test the community before a longer commitment.

The community maintains 12–16 hours of on-site nursing coverage each day, supported by licensed nurses who oversee medication management, incontinence care, and ambulatory assistance. Physical therapists visit regularly, and a dentist comes on schedule for oral health needs. Hospice services are available for residents with advanced or terminal conditions, and independent-living residents may also access these medical resources if needs change. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are handled by staff, ensuring that medical garments, bedding, and personal items remain sanitary.

Resident apartments vary by layout but generally include central air conditioning, cable television, Wi-Fi, phone connections, and utilities in the base rate. Some units have wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, washers and dryers, or parking spaces, while others do not; availability of each feature depends on the specific floor plan. Outdoor seating areas, a garden, and common spaces such as a library and computer lounge provide practical options for daily routines, and the community is pet friendly, subject to pet policy and space.

Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with snacks available between meals. Menus are designed to accommodate common dietary requirements, including those related to diabetes management. Residents who need modified textures or specialized nutrition plans can arrange personalized meal service through the dietary team. The dining room operates on a set schedule with assigned seating but can adjust for residents who prefer in-room dining during recovery or respite stays.

Recreational offerings include scheduled arts and crafts sessions, organized time outdoors, an on-site activity center, and various clubs that meet regularly. Social outings into Forest City and surrounding areas are planned by the life-enrichment staff to keep residents connected to the local community and to maintain engagement beyond the campus.
