About this community
Brookdale Asheville Walden Ridge sits on Walden Ridge Road in south Asheville and offers two levels of care on one campus: assisted living and a dedicated memory care neighborhood. That combination matters for families who want a place a parent can stay in as needs change, rather than moving again later. Apartments come in private and semi-private layouts, and each has an emergency call system. Dining, housekeeping, and laundry are handled for residents, and trained staff help with everyday tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication, and getting around.
The memory care program is organized in stages. Brookdale’s Clare Bridge approach serves residents in the middle and later stages of dementia, and its Solace program adds support for advanced dementia, so care can deepen without another move. Shared spaces include a library, game room, arts and crafts studio, a fireside living room, and walking paths on the wooded grounds. Short-term respite stays are available if you need coverage while a caregiver travels or recovers.

Frequently asked questions
Does Brookdale Asheville Walden Ridge offer memory care?
Yes. It has a secured memory care neighborhood alongside assisted living, with staged programming (Clare Bridge for mid-to-late dementia and Solace for advanced dementia), so a resident can move between levels on the same campus.
What is included in the monthly cost?
Assisted living generally bundles the apartment, meals, housekeeping, laundry, activities, and a base level of personal care, with higher care needs priced on top. Ask for the current rate sheet and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
Can someone stay short-term?
Yes. The community offers respite (short-term) stays, which families often use as a trial run before committing or to cover a caregiver’s absence.
