A LifeCare™ Community!
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 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.
We love welcoming our surrounding community to events held at Ardenwoods. We think it’s important to challenge ourselves to either learn a new skill or continue expanding our mind no matter what age!
This month we welcomed Robert and Laura Uherka from Simply Change. Robert and Laura are Senior Move Specialists and Professional Organizers. Robert and Laura challenged our attendees to consider 10 questions to get ready for a move. We included them below for you to ponder as well!… Read More

In his presentation, Rostick referenced data collected and distributed by the MIT Age Lab. You might think that technology makes things more difficult as you age, but in reality it can serve to make your life easier. Below you will find the five that the Age Lab identifies.… Read More
Everyone understands the allure of retirement communities that advertise exciting resident events. Having a thriving social life as you make the transition into a retirement community is extremely important. Fear of giving up freedom is what discourages many people from choosing to downsize.
At Ardenwoods we not only offer events planned with our residents in mind, we also offer resident planned events! This Valentine’s Day we helped a couple of residents coordinate to throw “Sweets to the Sweet in Verse and Dessert,” a resident-lead community event.… Read More
