A LifeCare™ Community!
Residents and staff came together in downtown Asheville for our 4th Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The walk is held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide. It’s the largest fundraising event for the organization and raises money for awareness, care, support, and research.
Here’s a look at last year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s:
We loved the invitation to visit our local TV station recently! Our very own Sarah Marr and Roberta Martin were guests on WLOS Spotlight Carolina talking about our special community.
Sarah and Roberta looked right at home after they filmed their segment.
Join us for a tour and meet our team (and residents).
Meet Kari Schrader, Ardenwoods Community Life Services Director. That’s a particularly fancy way of saying Fairy Godmother. Look closely and you may get to see her magic.
She’s modest, calls herself a farm girl at heart from a long tradition of midwestern caretakers. Where in the world is Abingdon, IL? It’s a long way from Asheville, but Kari fell in love with the south while backpacking as a teenager. She chose Toccoa Falls College, a small college in northeast Georgia where she received her BA in Interpersonal and Organizational Communications. Has there EVER been a major so suited to an individual?!
Jane Young, Ardenwoods Resident
You’ve parted with your wedding china, Aunt Ethel’s cut glass punch bowl, and your vintage fur-lined jacket. Two hundred books went to the library book sale, and Goodwill welcomed half a dozen sets of bed sheets. You’re downsizing, and it feels pretty good.
But what about your garden? For years you’ve celebrated tulips and daffodils in spring, fresh green beans and red-ripe tomatoes in summer, and your favorite herbs all the way till frost. No, you can’t take that garden with you, but you can create a new garden that’s beautiful, productive, and more fun than work. Meet the raised bed.
Here are some suggestions for venues near Ardenwoods where you can spend a few hours and maybe even learn something new!
