About this community
Brookdale Asheville Overlook is an assisted living community on Overlook Road in south Asheville, with roughly 79 apartments set among forested hills and mountain views. Staff are on site around the clock and help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Housekeeping, laundry, and freshly prepared meals are part of the package, and the grounds include walking trails.
Day-to-day life leans social, with resident-led groups such as a book club, a hiking group, card players, and a volunteer society. The community also provides some memory care support.
