Finding the perfect retirement community means balancing independent living, vibrant surroundings and long-term peace of mind. For residents of Biltmore Park and their relatives, that ideal balance is located just a few miles down the road at Ardenwoods.

Managed by the nonprofit organization ThriveMore, Ardenwoods has established itself as a premier life plan community (also known as a continuing care retirement community, or CCRC) in Western North Carolina. The campus provides a seamless continuum of care, allowing seniors to age in place gracefully. As health needs change over time, residents can smoothly transition from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing, all within the security of a single campus.

Ardenwoods flourishes under the leadership of ThriveMore, an organization with a history dating back to 1951. For more than seven decades, ThriveMore has been deeply committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care and fostering meaningful lifestyles across North Carolina.

While Ardenwoods serves the Asheville and Arden areas, ThriveMore also operates vibrant senior-living communities in Winston-Salem, Concord and Albemarle, with a new campus currently under construction in New Bern. This extensive network ensures that Ardenwoods operates with the highest standards of industry expertise, resident advocacy and compassionate service.

One of the greatest assets of Ardenwoods is its proximity to Biltmore Park. Located less than 4 miles away, the community offers incredible convenience for families who want to keep their loved ones close by. This short distance allows for frequent family visits, spontaneous dinners and shared weekend outings.

Ardenwoods residents are active participants in the local economy and culture of Asheville and Hendersonville, frequently visiting the shops, restaurants and entertainment venues of Biltmore Park. Choosing a life plan community like Ardenwoods is a gift of reassurance for both seniors and their families. Residents enjoy a fulfilling, maintenance-free lifestyle surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, knowing that any future health care needs will be met on site. By removing the stress of future moves and changing medical needs, Ardenwoods allows its residents to focus on what truly matters: enjoying their active retirement while building lasting friendships.
