Deerfield Episcopal Retirement in Asheville, NC offers three levels of residential care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—enabling residents to move between settings as their needs change without leaving the community. Each level is supported by licensed clinical staff, with Memory Care providing structured routines and additional cognitive support, Assisted Living delivering daily help with activities such as dressing or medication reminders, and Independent Living emphasizing maintenance-free living with access to health services when needed.
Beyond daily care, residents can access short-term respite stays, in-house physical therapy, and specialized diabetes management. An emergency call system and a community-wide sprinkler network back up the 24-hour staffing. On-site medical services include registered nurses, an ambulatory care clinic, occupational and speech therapy, incontinence management, and family or resident counseling. Laundry and dry-cleaning services, as well as the option to transition into continuing care, round out the medical support infrastructure.
Private and semi-private accommodations range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger apartments. Select residences feature wall-to-wall carpet, washers and dryers, cable TV, Wi-Fi, fireplaces, and utilities included in the monthly fee, while others focus on essential comforts. Outdoor walking paths, landscaped gardens, and pet-friendly policies allow residents to enjoy the wooded setting, though not every unit includes direct garden access or in-unit laundry. A library and computer lounge, reserved parking, and common sitting areas provide additional places to relax and connect.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with snacks available between meals. The culinary team accommodates standard diets as well as vegetarian preferences and works with clinical staff to support therapeutic diets when ordered. Restaurant-style dining rooms encourage social interaction, while take-out plates are available for residents who prefer to dine in their apartments. All meal costs are rolled into the monthly fee, eliminating separate dining charges.
Daily life is supported by structured social, recreational, and educational programs. Residents can participate in yoga classes, wellness workshops, and organized clubs and communities. An activity center hosts arts and crafts sessions, live entertainment, and TV or movie nights, giving ample opportunity to stay engaged and meet neighbors.
