Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community

After six years of planning, we officially launched our expansion project - Growing Together- today. As construction comes to life over the weeks and months to follow, we will be living in a space of seeing all of the listening, dreaming and asking great questions come to fruition as we prepare to welcome new residents to our campus and renovate existing spaces for those we already know well. (And likely navigating the inevitable dirt and noise with the good humor that abounds at Deerfield.) We have incredible residents, remarkable employees who make it all happen, a thoughtful plan and the very best partners who will be navigating this process, together. We can’t wait to see how we begin our next 70 years and invite you to follow along on the journey…

We’re excited to attend this year’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Annual Prayer Breakfast on January 17, hosted by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Association of Asheville and Buncombe County.

As annual sponsors, the Deerfield Charitable Foundation is honored to support a tradition that brings our community together and inspires us to live out Dr. King’s legacy. Last year, a great group of folks joined us in celebration, and we’re looking forward to gathering again!

Twas the night before Christmas and the light was just right, to highlight our beautiful campus, getting tucked in for the night.

Whether celebrating with family and friends, attending service at St. Giles Chapel or spending a quiet evening at home, we wish you a wonderful night on this Christmas Eve.

👀 Planning under a very watchful eye—Bishop Henry’s portrait kept us focused while the Timson home made it feel like family. Big hearts, bigger plans!

Michelle Wooley & Kelly Garrison spent some time away from the office this week celebrating the generosity of our donors in 2025 and planning for an exciting 2026!

The beautiful sight of a gaggle of golf carts can mean only one thing - it’s the annual Deerfield Facilities Holiday gathering! This hard working group of talented professionals keep our grounds beautiful, our systems running smoothly, our spaces looking their best and our bellies full. They are rarely together in one spot as they are to and fro on campus 365 days a year, and we are so grateful for the way they make this a wonderful place to live and work.
