Highland Farms

Highland Farms is a distinguished nonprofit life plan community situated on a beautifully landscaped campus at 200 Tabernacle Road in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Offering skilled nursing care among its continuum of services, Highland Farms has earned a long-standing reputation in Western North Carolina as a place where seniors receive exceptional care within a setting that honors both the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the dignity of every individual resident. The Tabernacle Road location places Highland Farms in one of Black Mountain's most serene corridors, adjacent to the Montreat community — home to Montreat College and the historic Montreat Conference Center — where the natural splendor of the Black Mountain range provides a backdrop that is simply unmatched in the region. The lush wooded landscape, the proximity to Lake Susan at Montreat, and the Swannanoa River Valley views contribute to an environment that feels genuinely restorative. Families visiting from Asheville, Hendersonville, or beyond frequently remark that the drive through this mountain valley alone is worth the trip. For medical needs, Mission Hospital in Asheville is approximately 20 minutes west via Interstate 40, providing the full range of specialty and emergency services residents may require. The Black Mountain area also benefits from a growing network of primary care and specialist offices, including practices affiliated with the Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) system. As a nonprofit corporation, Highland Farms is mission-driven rather than profit-driven — reinvesting resources into the campus, the care program, and the people who call it home. This philosophy is reflected in the community's long tenured staff, its carefully maintained grounds, and its commitment to serving residents across all stages of aging with consistency and compassion. For families seeking skilled nursing care within a values-aligned, nonprofit environment of genuine natural beauty, Highland Farms represents one of the finest choices in all of Western North Carolina.
