ARDENWOODS STORIES - SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING

Celebrating Ladies Month at Ardenwoods

In honor of Mother’s Day in May, we dedicated this month as Ladies Month! We always make a point to have a May Day Celebration, and this year did not disappoint. On May 1 at 7 p.m. we welcomed the Pyramid Brass Quintet for a live concert on our patio.

We hosted a “ladies only” 2-part workshop with Stylist, JeanAnn Taylor. This workshop was open to all female residents free of charge. The ladies of Ardenwoods gathered for a conversation around “Your Personal Style.” JeanAnn talked about how to define your personal style and answered any questions that were posed.… Read More

Ardenwoods Chef Hosts Cooking Expo

One of the amazing things about the staff at Ardenwoods is their commitment to our residents. During the winter, some of our high school aged servers stayed overnight to keep the kitchen appropriately staffed. Our Ardenwoods Kitchen Manager, John Redden, recently offered a resident-only cooking expo. Our Ardenwoods actitivities calendar is full of a variety of continued learning experiences specifically targeted to our residents’ interests.… Read More

Grille Renovation

We think it’s safe to say that everyone understands that sometimes your home needs a little sprucing up. Whether it’s an old table you want to refurbish, wallpaper you want to replace or appliances that just don’t work the way they used to, a little TLC can do wonders to your favorite spaces. At Ardenwoods we feel like our Clubhouse is like our home—it represents who we are as a community. Our Grille specifically, we’ll admit it, needed a little tender love and care.… Read More

Bringing Your Garden Inside

On April 24, we were pleased to host an indoor garden seminar with the help of BB Barns. Attendees enjoyed homemade lemonade and light refreshments, courtesy of the Ardenwoods kitchen staff, while they listened to Letha Hinman of BB Barns talk about the best strategies for creating an indoor potted plant arrangement.

Bernie and Toby Linder- Resident Spotlight

Bernie and Toby Linder have called Ardenwoods their home for almost two years. Prior to their move up the hill, they resided in Laurel Park. Toby was a first grade teacher at Hillendale Elementary and Bernie worked for General Electric. It was through his work with GE’s Elfun Society that Bernie and Toby initially got involved with the nonprofit community in Hendersonville.

The Linders’ involvement in the Community Foundation of Henderson County is extensive. From Bernie’s role on the Board of Directors, Toby’s involvement on the Scholarship Committee, and their donor advised fund the Linder Family Charitable Fund, it’s no surprise that in 2017 the Linders were named the recipients of the Community Foundation’s Sauer Charitable Award.
