Loving life. Thriving together.

Ardenwoods is a retirement community in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Arden, NC. Our 48-acre campus offers the privacy and beauty of a mountain resort with easy access to all the shopping, dining, arts and cultural attractions of Asheville. It’s the best of both worlds filled with life-enriching opportunities, friendly faces and the joy of connecting with people who share your love of life.

Joyful Days

Community Life

Life is good at Ardenwoods. Every day is an opportunity to enhance your quality of life. Whether that means working towards a fitness goal in the gym or pool. Walking the trails on our campus. Joining an art class, singing in the choir or meeting friends for Friday social hour before sitting down to a chef-prepared dinner. You design your days and do what makes you happy. We’ll take care of everything else.

Well-Appointed Residences

Independent Living

We offer a choice of one, two or three-bedroom floor plans for independent living residents. Each apartment home features large windows that create inviting, sunlit spaces for living, dining and relaxing. High quality finishes, including granite countertops, and thoughtful design, such as pull-out shelving, are standard. Housekeeping and maintenance are included, so you can spend more time enjoying your hobbies and leave the chores to us.

Personalized Support

Continuing Care

Because everyone needs a helping hand at some point in their lives, at Heather Glen our on-site Assisted Living, we offer as much or as little help as you need, including:

• Round-the-clock assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, medication management and mobility.
• Rehabilitation services contracted through our provider, including physical, occupational and speech therapy.
• Access to a primary care physician to help you maintain your health and independence.

Just because you need a helping hand with daily activities doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle.
