The residents in wheelchairs were all jammed up around the nurses desk. Some were sitting in their room staring blankly at the wall. One elderly gentleman was in a wheelchair up against a wall facing chairs and equipment. They told us they had a contract with the veterans. God bless any of our veterans that end up in that place after all they have done for their country. Shame on them.

There simply are no words that are adequate to give Carolina Reserve at Hendersonville enough…read morecredit for all they have done for our mother in her last years. Thank you so much. Our story started in the early days of covid 19. Our mother had rapidly declined in the months leading up to the pandemic and a discussion had been on going to try to do the best for her health and safety for a few years. She had started to wonder and had suffered a number of falls while at home, being confused and only wanting to sleep all day and wonder all night. This was exhausting for our elderly father. At this early stage of the pandemic, getting an elderly person into an assisted living facility was difficult at best and impossible in most cases. Mother's doctor suggested Carolina Reserve of Hendersonville (CRH) as a good option, if they would be willing to admit a new resident during the pandemic. After a number of phone discussions, an agreement was made that CHR staff would be sent to evaluate if they would be able to adequately care for her in the pandemic. A residence director and a facility nurse arrived and after a physical and a medical evaluation, lots of questions and a long discussion, together we made the difficult decision that our mother would do best at CRH; they had one bedroom available. We had to agree that mom would be required to be isolated for 30 days; no visitors, only phone calls and talking through the bedroom closed window. Looking back, I think mom actually enjoyed this time. They gave her a wide selection of food and drink, TV and music. It was likely more emotionally difficult on our dad, but discision had to be made. CRH worked closely with the doctor and nurse practitioner to stabilize Mom's medications, routine, diet, activities and socialization with the other residents. While she still needed the professional help of the facility, we were finally comfortable that she was safe and well cared for. Mom stayed at CRH for 5 years. During that time she received consistent high quality of care from a staff that is dedicated to loving each resident and their families, even when it must have been difficult for them. During this time, I was assigned a staff member, as a single point of contact for everything related to mom's care and I would receive calls periodically for updates and a touch base. These calls were invaluable. During the terrible flood from Hurricane Helene, some staff spent multiple days on site to cover for staff who could not manage to get through the devastation to work. This at times, meant that they had to ignore what was happening to their own homes and families to care for their residents. Just like the police and fire/medical responders, the staff at CRH were there, not complaining, but doing their jobs. There are no words to describe this level of kindness and commitment. As with all living things, the end was inevitable and mom passed last month, peacefully, napping in her favorite chair. It was a painful blessing, but she was surrounded by loving staff. Carolina Reserve at Hendersonville had prepared us for this day years before, by documenting our wishes for this moment. We received a loving kind call with the sad news. and the plan was put in action with predefined precision. The correct mortuary, was contacted, the hospital for the correct procedures and documentation and an offer from CRH for anything we needed. I flew to Hendersonville to finalize the business of dying and I dropped by CRH to collect a few of mom's belongings and to say thank you. I received hugs from every staff member, some in tears, and even received calls from staff who had left CHR for other opportunities. This still makes me emotional; such kindness is so rare in today's dollar and cents corporate world. I am sure that other assisted living facilities are also committed to their residents, but i am unaware of any facility that even attempts to do a better job than Carolina Reserve at Hendersonville. With kind and respectful gratitude. John

Mom's primary doctor recommended that we consider Carolina Reserve at Hendersonville as one of the best. After a lot of research, we reluctantly reached out for help. Mom has been at CRH for 5 days and it has been a huge relief and a gift given us with their loving care provided to our mom. The entire staff is caring and accommodating. They have a philosophy that all the residence are their family and it shows everyday, all day. In the five days mom has been there she has been working with PT to get her able to walk with a walker confidently. The entire staff work with mom on memory strengthening skills and independence. Mom has even admitted that she like her new home albeit not her real home. Thank you to all the staff at Carolina Reserve at Hendersonville. I know with confidence that this isn't just a job, this is your passion.

My daughter ended up needing to stay in the NICU for two weeks and the Rathbun house came to the rescue. They reached out to us on our very first day to let us know that we could stay there for up to 21 days for no cost. Most nights I was able to stay at the NICU, but there wasn't space for my husband. So he stayed here. We also took advantage of their washer and dryer and huge kitchen (fully stocked with the basics!). Our room had two single beds and it's own bathroom with a shower. The kitchen had many canned goods and the pantry was pretty well stocked. There were also usually bagels sitting out in the common room. This common room had plenty of tables and space as well as a TV. Through the common room you can exit to a large back porch and then go down to a little playground for the kids. And inside the basement, there's a huge playroom that our two year old quite enjoyed. You are allowed to have up to four people in your room and they must all be registered. There are fold-out beds in the hall and you can get extra sheets at the front desk. Security is great here. You can enter 24/7. But after 7p you have to call the security guard to come let you in. Then you check in on the iPad.
