Program areas at MountainCare
MountainCare provides critical services that fulfill an important need within our Western North Carolina communities, between the services that MountainCare provides, including Adult Day Services and the Seating & Wheeled Mobility Clinic, we serve a large audience within the region, with a great deal of support to the rapidly growing older adult population as that demographic sets to increase at exponential rates in coming years.
MountainCare provides operational support to the seating and wheeled mobility clinic, a critical service that has existed within our community for decades. The goal of the clinic is to maximize independence, freedom, and comfort while also preventing life-threatening pressure sores and other serious medical complications. An expert physical therapist provides custom fitted seating and cushioning to children and adults with CP, SCI, MS, ALS, and other conditions that require them to spend their day in a wheelchair.
Our award-winning MountainCare Adult Day Services Centers provide an enjoyable and safe place for aging and impaired adults to stay engaged and active while receiving expert, compassionate care during the day. MountainCare also offers the Mountain Explorers program for individuals with mild cognitive impairment who are interested in a program of social opportunities, mental stimulation, exercise, and enrichment.
