Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Murphy may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Murphy care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Murphy, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

Residential Care Home
Dignified Living is an absolutely wonderful place, I can't say enough good things about them! It's a beautiful, clean facility, and the staff are the most caring individuals I know. The amount of personal care and genuine concern they show for my father is more than I could ask for, they really go above and beyond! I highly recommend them!
Our experience with Avendelle has been very good, we are very happy with the care our loved one has been receiving. We are also very happy with the low ratio of residents to staff members, they do not have a ton of people to look after there. The home itself is clearly well taken care of, and we are just overall very pleased.
My mom has lived at Hughes house for over three years. In my opinion it is designed for people needing late stage care. There are not really activities because most residents could not participate. There are two care givers who have been there many years-Over a decade. The house manager is one of them. She does a wonderful job of overseeing the other employees. It really feels like a home. Because they have been with my mom for a few years it is clear they have a relationship with her. In a large setting, shift work by many people is the norm. It’s hard to have a real relationship with this model. This is the difference. They know their clients intimately and these long term employees truly do God’s work. These two are loving compassionate people who truly have a calling. There are at total of 4 full time employees at the house. The other 2 care givers have come and gone over the years but I’m thankful for the stability provided by the two who really run the show!
