Black Mountain Neuro-medical Treatment Center

Black Mountain Neuro-Medical Treatment Center (BMNTC), a facility operated by the State of North Carolina, is positioned as a specialized skilled nursing facility (SNF) that caters to individuals with complex medical and behavioral conditions. Certified under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), BMNTC adheres to the long-term care regulations set out by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA). Initially commencing its service as a satellite unit of Western Carolina Center in 1977, this facility evolved over the years, obtaining its autonomous status in 1982 and later transitioning its focus towards assisting patients with Alzheimer’s disease and similar dementias, especially those demonstrating aggressive behaviors. Moreover, in 2007, the center was rebranded to its current designation, reflecting its specialty in neuro-medical care. BMNTC is accessible to adults with diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease, related dementias, or neurodevelopmental disorders, who require 24-hour supervision, daily nursing assessment, and assistance with activities of daily living. The center’s commitment to serving those with neurocognitive disorders is exemplified by its specialized programs and diverse professional staff aimed at enhancing residents' quality of life. This facility upholds patient dignity and independence, facilitating enriched life planning for its residents.
