Haywood Lodge & Retirement Center is a retirement community offering a variety of care and service options. Located on a quiet street just two blocks from downtown Waynesville, NC, our residents enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of a friendly mountain community as well as convenient shopping and professional services available nearby.

Our mission is to provide the highest standard of care possible for our residents while maintaining a high quality of life, independence and self-esteem. Our dedicated staff works closely with outside health professionals to meet the specific needs of each resident. We encourage family and friends to visit with our residents at any time.

And if you are unable to visit or just can't wait to show off that new addition to your family or the little one's latest art work, we offer free E-mail service to all our residents. Just go to our Resident Services page and follow the instructions.

Our residents become part of our family and are cared for like family. We think our slogan captures the spirit of Haywood Lodge & Retirement Center. It surely is ...

... the next best thing to being at home!
